Lamborghini Revuelto SV Sets Hockenheimring Lap Record Before Its Own Public Debut

08.13.2026 // 1 MIN READ // Apex

Key points

Lamborghini factory driver Marco Mapelli lapped the Hockenheimring in 1:41.6 in the Revuelto SV, a time the automaker calls the fastest ever recorded there by a production super sports car.
The run was announced August 6, more than a week before the SV's official world premiere at The Quail on August 14.
The claimed time beats the Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series but remains slower than the McLaren Senna and the outright production-car record held by the Mercedes-AMG ONE.

Lamborghini let its V12-powered Revuelto SV set a Hockenheimring lap record before the car has even been formally unveiled, publishing a 1:41.6 time from factory driver Marco Mapelli.

Why it matters

Manufacturer-claimed lap times are effectively pre-launch marketing, but they also signal how aggressively Lamborghini is positioning the Revuelto SV against rivals like McLaren and Mercedes-AMG before a single independent outlet gets behind the wheel.

What to watch

The Revuelto SV makes its full public debut at The Quail on August 14, when Lamborghini is expected to release complete specifications and pricing.
