- Lamborghini says the Revuelto SV completed Hockenheimring in 1 minute 41.6 seconds.
- Factory and test driver Marco Mapelli handled the car during Lamborghini's claimed record run.
- The new model will make its world premiere at The Quail on 14 August.
Lamborghini has introduced the Revuelto SV in typically rapid fashion, sending the unrevealed model around Germany's Hockenheimring before its public debut.
A fast introduction
The Italian manufacturer says factory and test driver Marco Mapelli completed a lap in 1 minute 41.6 seconds. Lamborghini describes that as the fastest production-car lap it has recorded at the circuit, making the result a manufacturer claim rather than an independently verified outright track record.
It is an attention-grabbing first data point for the new model, although Lamborghini has deliberately kept the rest of the technical picture under wraps. The company has not yet disclosed full specifications for the Revuelto SV, so its power output and other performance figures remain unknown.
Full reveal comes next
The Revuelto SV will make its world premiere on 14 August at The Quail, part of Monterey Car Week in California. That event should provide a clearer view of the car and, potentially, the technical detail needed to put its Hockenheimring performance into context.
For now, the lap time is the centrepiece of Lamborghini's preview. Mapelli's involvement also gives the run a direct factory connection: he is both a works driver and a test driver for the brand.
Lamborghini says the Revuelto SV is not yet offered for sale. It has not announced pricing or availability, and no New Zealand timing has been disclosed.
Record claim sets expectations
By leading with a timed circuit lap, Lamborghini is positioning the Revuelto SV around measurable performance before showing the complete car. The 1:41.6 result offers a firm reference point, but buyers and enthusiasts will have to wait until the reveal for the figures behind it.
That leaves the Hockenheimring run doing exactly what a preview should: establishing the new model's intent while keeping its detailed mechanical story for the main event.
