Lamborghini has used the SV badge — Super Veloce, Italian for "super fast" — on eight production models across 55 years, starting with the Miura P400 SV in 1971 and continuing to the Revuelto SV revealed in August 2026. Every SV follows the same brief: more power, less weight, harder aerodynamics and a strictly limited build run, applied to a car that is already at the end of its development cycle.
This page collects every Lamborghini SV and SVJ in production order, with confirmed output figures, production numbers, original list prices and dated market evidence for each generation. Where sources disagree — and for pre-2000 cars they frequently do — both figures are shown.
What Does SV Mean on a Lamborghini?
SV stands for Super Veloce. Lamborghini applies it to the final, most extreme version of an existing V12 model rather than to a new platform: the engine is re-tuned, mass is removed, downforce is increased and production is capped. The company dates the badge to the Miura P400 SV of 1971 and describes the Revuelto SV as the continuation of the same 55-year line (Lamborghini).
The related SVJ badge adds Jota, a reference to the Miura Jota racing prototype and to Appendix J of the FIA regulations. It has been used twice: on a handful of Miura factory specials in the early 1970s and on the Aventador SVJ of 2018. In both cases SVJ sits above the SV of the same model.

Miura P400 SV (1971–1973): The First Super Veloce
The Miura P400 SV closed out Miura production with 385 CV at 7,850 rpm from the transverse 3,929 cc V12, fed by four Weber 40 IDL3C carburettors. Lamborghini's own history records 150 customer cars, a figure RM Sotheby's repeats in its catalogue descriptions (Lamborghini, RM Sotheby's).
The SV changes were structural as well as visual: wider rear track and rear arches to cover 9-inch rear rims, a stiffened chassis, revised rear suspension geometry and — on later cars — separate lubrication for engine and gearbox, which removed the shared-oil weakness of earlier Miuras. The headlamp "eyelashes" were deleted, which is the quickest way to identify an SV in a photograph. Lamborghini quotes acceleration of about 5.5 seconds to 100 km/h and a top speed "well over 280 km/h"; period-specification sources list 290 km/h and a curb weight near 1,300 kg.
Values reflect that rarity. Two dated results frame the current market: €3,942,500 at RM Sotheby's Milan and €3,380,000 at Gooding Christie's Rétromobile in Paris. Condition, provenance and originality move individual cars significantly inside that band.
Miura SVJ: Jota DNA in a Road Car
The SVJ was not a series model. It was a factory conversion of the SV inspired by the one-off Miura Jota racing prototype, and the number built is still disputed: Lamborghini's history refers to four SVJ specials, while specialist registries count five official factory cars. Later privately commissioned "SVJ" conversions are not counted as factory examples.
Documented factory SVJ hardware included brake cooling ducts, riveted aluminium panels, fixed Plexiglas-covered headlamps, a front spoiler, lowered competition suspension, a single wiper and — on at least one car — dry-sump lubrication with an open race exhaust. Specialist specifications list 385 hp at 7,850 rpm, 0–60 mph in 5.8 seconds and 299 km/h. Period invoices show the premium: chassis 4934 was billed at 13,000,000 lire in December 1971 against 8,000,000 lire for a standard SV.
Diablo SV (1995–1999): Rear-Wheel Drive by Design
SV returned in March 1995 on the Diablo, and this time the logic was subtraction. Where the Diablo VT used all-wheel drive and electronically controlled dampers, the SV deleted both to save weight and drove the rear wheels only. Output was 510 hp for 1995–1998 cars and 530 hp for the 1999 variable-valve-timing version, from the 5.7-litre V12. Auction descriptions quote 428 lb-ft of torque, under 4.0 seconds to 60 mph and 191 mph; 1999-specification listings give 605 Nm at 5,500 rpm, about 3.85 seconds and roughly 320 km/h.
Visually the SV introduced the adjustable rear wing, larger brake and cooling ducts, dual round fog lamps in the nose and black tail-lamp surrounds — the template most people picture when they think of a 1990s Diablo. Production is usually given as approximately 350 cars; no exact factory total is published.
Diablo SV-R: The Racing Diablo
Built on the rear-drive SV for the Philippe Charriol SuperSport Trophy, the SV-R ran to 34 examples according to the Lamborghini Registry as quoted by RM Sotheby's. It kept the 5.7-litre V12 and gated six-speed manual but added a stripped cabin, roll cage, race seats, fixed Plexiglas side windows, competition aerodynamics, stiffer suspension, larger brakes and air jacks. Lamborghini never published road-car performance figures for it. A 1996 SV-R sold for US$698,000 at RM Sotheby's Miami sale.
Murciélago LP670-4 SuperVeloce (2009–2010): The First AWD SV
The Murciélago LP670-4 SuperVeloce made SV a global reference point and was the first all-wheel-drive Super Veloce. The 6.5-litre V12 produced 670 hp at 8,000 rpm in US specification through a six-speed e-gear automated manual, with revised valve timing and intake, a lighter exhaust, extensive carbon fibre, standard carbon-ceramic brakes and a far more aggressive aero package including the optional Aeropack Wing.
Lamborghini quotes 3.2 seconds to 100 km/h and 342 km/h; Car and Driver measured expectations of 3.0 seconds to 60 mph and reported 213 mph with the small spoiler, dropping to 209 mph with the big wing. Weight fell about 100 kg versus the LP640. US MSRP was US$458,395.
Production numbers are genuinely disputed: Lamborghini's 2026 lineage page states 350 coupés and 50 roadsters, the Lamborghini Registry lists 308 model-year-2010 cars, and launch-era reporting simply said "limited to 350".
Aventador LP750-4 Superveloce (2015–2016)
Introduced at the 2015 Geneva show and capped at 600 coupés, the Aventador LP750-4 SV produced 740 hp at 8,400 rpm (750 PS) and 509 lb-ft at 5,500 rpm from the 6.5-litre V12, driving all four wheels through the seven-speed ISR single-clutch gearbox. Lamborghini claimed 0–62 mph in 2.8 seconds and over 217 mph; Car and Driver recorded 2.7 seconds to 60 mph at a tested 3,868 lb.
Versus the LP700-4 the SV added 49 hp, removed substantial mass through carbon fibre, recalibrated valve timing and intake, freed up the exhaust and reworked the aerodynamics, with carbon-ceramic brakes standard. US launch pricing was reported at US$493,069, while Car and Driver's test car listed at US$497,895 depending on how destination and options were counted.
The SV Roadster followed at Monterey in 2015 with 500 units, a two-piece removable carbon-fibre hardtop, 750 hp, 2.9 seconds to 100 km/h and a 1,575 kg dry weight — 50 kg above the coupé. It listed at €357,000 excluding VAT, or US$530,075 in the US.
Aventador SVJ (2018–2021): ALA 2.0 and a 6:44.97 Nürburgring Lap
Revealed on 23 August 2018, the Aventador SVJ is the highest-volume SV-family car so far: 900 coupés plus 63 SVJ 63 examples. The 6,498 cc V12 produced 770 CV (759 hp) at 8,500 rpm and 720 Nm (531 lb-ft) at 6,750 rpm, for 2.8 seconds to 100 km/h, over 350 km/h and a 1,525 kg dry weight. US pricing was listed at US$517,770 including gas-guzzler tax.
The technical headline was ALA 2.0 — active aero with aero vectoring, which channels air asymmetrically across the rear wing to add downforce on the inside of a corner. Lamborghini claimed 40% more downforce per axle than the SV with 1% less drag, alongside retuned all-wheel drive, rear-wheel steering and dampers. Before the reveal, Marco Mapelli set a production-car Nürburgring-Nordschleife record of 6:44.97 over the 20.6 km lap.
SVJ remains the strongest search term in the entire SV family, and the model page in our garage section covers the wider Aventador range: Lamborghini Aventador model guide.
Aventador SVJ Roadster and SVJ 63
The open SVJ arrived at Geneva in 2019 with 800 SVJ Roadsters and 63 SVJ 63 Roadsters, the same 770 CV V12, 2.9 seconds to 100 km/h, over 350 km/h and removable carbon-fibre roof panels. Values for the special editions have moved sharply: a 125-mile SVJ 63 Roadster sold for US$1,263,000 at Bring a Trailer on 11 July 2025, and a 5,000-mile 2021 SVJ coupé made US$1,050,000 there on 28 May 2026 — above original list for both.
Revuelto SV (2026): The First Hybrid Super Veloce
The Revuelto SV, unveiled on 14 August 2026 at The Quail during Monterey Car Week, changes what the badge means. Its 6,498.5 cc naturally aspirated V12 works with three permanent-magnet motors and a 7.3 kWh battery for 1,065 CV (1,050 bhp) and 1,425 Nm, sent to all four wheels through an eight-speed dual-clutch. Lamborghini quotes 2.4 seconds to 100 km/h and 348 km/h; the launch account gives above 345 km/h and a 1,772 kg dry weight.
Marco Mapelli also set a production-car Hockenheimring record of 1:41.6 with it before the reveal. Production is limited to 1,963 units — a reference to Lamborghini's founding year — at US$741,172 before options, with deliveries from Q1 2027. Full specifications, gallery and comparison against the standard Revuelto are in our launch article: Lamborghini Revuelto SV — price, specs and Hockenheim record.
Lamborghini SV vs SVJ: What the Extra Letter Means
On the Aventador the two badges existed side by side, which makes the comparison concrete.
| Attribute | Aventador LP750-4 SV | Aventador SVJ |
|---|---|---|
| Power | 740 hp / 750 PS @ 8,400 rpm | 759 hp / 770 CV @ 8,500 rpm |
| Torque | 509 lb-ft @ 5,500 rpm | 531 lb-ft @ 6,750 rpm |
| Aerodynamics | Fixed wing, passive aero | ALA 2.0 active aero with aero vectoring |
| Downforce | Baseline | +40% per axle vs SV, −1% drag |
| 0–100 km/h | 2.8 s | 2.8 s |
| Dry weight | 3,868 lb as tested | 1,525 kg / 3,362 lb |
| Track record | None claimed | Nürburgring 6:44.97 |
| Production | 600 coupés + 500 roadsters | 900 + 63 coupés, 800 + 63 roadsters |
| Launch price (US) | US$493,069 | US$517,770 |
In short: SV is the harder-edged version of a road car, SVJ adds active aerodynamics and a lap-record objective on top of it.
