Fastest production car lap at Hockenheimring
Lamborghini selected the Hockenheimring to establish an internationally recognized performance benchmark. The German circuit, home to Formula 1, DTM and GT racing, is regarded as one of the most authoritative references for evaluating a vehicle's dynamic capabilities. Its layout combines high-speed sections, heavy braking zones and technical corners, providing a comprehensive assessment under representative conditions.
“The new Revuelto SV represents an extraordinary expression of our vision for a Lamborghini super sports car. Every element of the car has been developed with the goal of taking performance to an even higher level, enhancing the driving engagement and emotion that have always defined our brand. The record achieved at the Hockenheimring is the result of this approach and demonstrates how innovation,”
“The Revuelto SV has reached a level of performance we had never experienced before at Lamborghini. The extraordinary harmony between car and driver allows you to exploit its full potential, inspiring precision and confidence even at the limit. It is exactly this combination of performance, control and driver engagement that enabled us to achieve this result.”
