The upcoming Lamborghini Revuelto SV is already making serious noise, and it hasn’t even officially broken cover yet. Following a private showcase in New York for select clients, early performance figures suggest this hardcore hybrid could outpace one of Ferrari’s most extreme machines.
According to details shared at the event, the Revuelto SV has reportedly set a blistering lap time of 1:41.6 at Germany’s Hockenheimring. That’s around 2 seconds quicker than the Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale, which is an enormous gap in the world of elite supercars.
The Lamborghini Revuelto SV is expected to produce between 1,065 hp and 1,080 hp, only a slight bump over the standard car’s 1,015 hp. But as with previous SV models, Lamborghini isn’t chasing numbers alone.
Instead, the focus appears to be on sharper aerodynamics, reduced weight, and significantly enhanced handling dynamics. The aim is clear – extract maximum performance from the hybrid setup rather than simply adding more power.
And it shows. On a demanding circuit like Hockenheim, a 2-second advantage is no small feat in supercar terms. If these early figures hold true, then Ferrari has something serious to think about.

Please compare equivalent lap times and report properly. Lap times set by a magazine tester like Christian Gebhardt, with an amateur racing background, in the SF90XX at Hockenheimring should never ever be compared to lap times set by factory test drivers (from Lamborghini) with a pro racing background.
A 2 second difference between a magazine conducted lap time and a factory backed effort with the factory time being quicker is not a very big gap, in fact it’s a very bad time for a factory backed effort that a magazine tester can be just 2 seconds behind the factory effort considering these magazine tester don’t do much testing laps with the car (only 2-3 testing laps while factory drivers do numerous testing laps before setting a lap time) neither do they push the car like a factory driver with a pro racing background.
Also, Hockenheimring doesn’t have an official notary to verify the specifications of cars used by manufacturers to set lap times, Lamborghini is notorious for using cars to set lap times which are very different in specification from their customer cars. They have been found missing at the Nürburgring ever since a notary was formed to verify lap times and cars used for setting lap times.
