(Motorsport-Total.com/Motor1) – It may not be long now before the Lamborghini Revuelto SV is officially unveiled. A new prototype was spotted by Instagram user varryx_ in Sant’Agata Bolognese – and this time it wasn’t wearing the usual thick layers of camouflage.

Instead, Lamborghini opted for a much thinner camouflage film, reminiscent of the protective cladding that premium manufacturers often use when delivering their vehicles to customers. When the camouflage falls piece by piece, the world premiere is usually not far off.
Even though this prototype is still almost completely wrapped, the biggest planned change for the Superveloce can hardly be hidden – under the camouflage bulge at the rear, a rather prominent rear wing is clearly visible. The cover has a cutout for the third brake light, which is integrated into the wing – which probably does little to improve rear visibility. On the other hand, a Lamborghini – apart from the Urus, of course – doesn’t necessarily have to be practical.
At the rear, it can also be seen that the bull hasn’t put too much effort into attaching the temporary license plate. It simply dangles from a yellow strap attached to the bodywork. This doesn’t look particularly professional, but it apparently serves its purpose – and the Italian police seem to have no problem with this makeshift solution.
Lamborghini is also keeping the front of the prototype hidden, although we expect more aggressively designed air intakes there for better cooling and aerodynamics. Red accents are noticeable on the few deliberately exposed areas of the bodywork – A-pillars and mirror caps. In fact, the contrasting red stripe seems to continue all the way to the rear – very much in the style of the Aventador Pirelli Edition.
Attached below is a separate video from YouTuber Carspotter Jeroen, showing a whole mix of SV test vehicles at work on the Nürburgring. One of them particularly caught our eye: with sensors and antennas mounted on the wheels, it almost looks as if it’s about to take flight at any moment.
In both videos, however, the engine sound lacks some of the V12 drama that distinguished the Aventador and previously the Murciélago. These models simply come from a different era, when regulations were not nearly as strict as they are in 2026. Nevertheless, Lamborghini must be credited for sticking with the V12 – even if it has now mutated into a plug-in hybrid.

If the rumors are true, the SV will remain a rare sight. Production is reportedly limited to just 1,963 units – presumably a reference to the year Ferruccio Lamborghini founded the company to challenge Ferrari. There is also talk of 1,080 hp, which would be 65 hp more than the standard Revuelto. However, this figure has not yet been officially confirmed.
Insiders report that Lamborghini offers buyers four options for placing the “SV” logo on the bodywork, while black accents are intended to further distinguish the model from the regular Revuelto. Inside, the sharper Revuelto reportedly adopts the Fenomeno’s seats, and there is likely to be a special plaque indicating the limited edition.
It is expected that the covers will come off soon – possibly as early as next month during Monterey Car Week. The price premium over the already dizzying starting price of the Revuelto (from a good 500,000 Euros) is likely to be substantial.
Motor1 says: It still surprises us that Lamborghini is giving its flagship model the SV treatment before a Roadster has even been introduced. On the other hand, new V12 super sports cars are generally good news. It will be interesting to see if the Revuelto SV sheds some weight compared to the standard model, as the Aventador SV was 50 kilograms lighter than the base model.
As much as we would wish for a hardcore version without a plug-in hybrid powertrain, we consider that rather unlikely for the SV. However, we wouldn’t rule out such a thing during the Revuelto’s lifecycle. A pure track version with a maximally sharpened setup in every respect – very similar to the Aventador-based Essenza SCV12 – would be quite conceivable.
