The Legend of The Lamborghini Super Veloce

1. Lamborghini Miura P400 SV (1971–1972)

• Engine: 3.9L Naturally Aspirated V12
• Output: 385 hp / 295 lb-ft torque
• Production Run: 150 units

The car that started it all. Unveiled at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show, the Miura SV (Spinto Veloce) was the ultimate evolution of the world's very first supercar. Lamborghini revised the Weber carburetors and cam timing to squeeze out 385 horsepower. Visually, the SV lost the famous "eyelashes" around the headlights, gained wider rear fenders to accommodate beefier rear tires, and featured a revised rear suspension that vastly improved high-speed stability over earlier Miuras.

2. Lamborghini Diablo SV (1995–1999)

• Engine: 5.7L Naturally Aspirated V12
• Output: 510 hp / 428 lb-ft torque
• Production Run: ~346 units

After a 23-year hiatus, the SV moniker returned in 1995 to elevate the iconic Diablo. Unlike the standard all-wheel-drive Diablo VT, the Diablo SV stripped away the front driveshaft to send all 510 horsepower exclusively to the rear wheels. It shed roughly 90 pounds, gained an adjustable rear wing, sported dual aggressive roof scoops to feed the V12, and came adorned with massive "SV" side decals. It earned a reputation as a raw, analog, single-minded driver’s car that required serious skill to master.

3. Lamborghini Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce (2009–2010)

• Engine: 6.5L Naturally Aspirated V12
• Output: 670 hp / 487 lb-ft torque
• Production Run: 350 Coupes / 50 Roadsters

Serving as the grand finale for the Murciélago generation, the LP 670-4 SV was a carbon-fiber-clad masterpiece. Engineers shaved a massive 220 pounds (100 kg) off the standard car while bumping the 6.5-liter engine up to 670 horsepower. Equipped with a revised front splitter, a massive carbon-fiber "Aeropack" rear wing, and a screaming redline, it blasted from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.1 seconds. It stands as one of the last true analog-feeling modern hypercars, offering both an e-Gear automated manual and an exceedingly rare 6-speed gate-shifter.

4. Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 SV (2015–2017)

• Engine: 6.5L Naturally Aspirated V12
• Output: 750 hp / 509 lb-ft torque
• Production Run: 600 Coupes / 500 Roadsters

Debuting at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, the Aventador SV pushed Lamborghini's carbon-fiber technology to new heights. By utilizing lightweight carbon door panels, wings, and stripped-back interior door trim, it shed 110 pounds over the standard LP 700-4 while outputting a terrifying 750 horsepower. With a 170% increase in aerodynamic downforce, pushrod suspension, and permanent all-wheel drive, the Aventador SV famously smashed the sub-7-minute lap barrier at the Nürburgring Nordschleife.

5. Lamborghini Revuelto SV (2026–Present)

• Engine: 6.5L Naturally Aspirated V12 + 3 Electric Motors (Plug-in Hybrid)
• Output: 1,065 hp (1,065 CV) / 1,051 lb-ft combined torque
• Production Run: Limited to 1,963 units

Translating the Super Veloce ethos into the electrified hybrid era, the Revuelto SV stands as the most powerful production Lamborghini ever built. Pairing a high-revving 6.5-liter V12 with three electric motors and a re-engineered lightweight carbon-fiber monocoque, the Revuelto SV generates over 1,000 combined horsepower. Featuring active aerodynamics, race-calibrated suspension, next-generation carbon-ceramic brakes, and a dedicated "Pilota" track drive mode, it marks the newest, most extreme chapter in 55 years of Super Veloce history.
