This is the rare comparison where both answers are exceptional. The Revuelto is the current king: Lamborghini's first V12 hybrid, the newest and most powerful car in our fleet, with a waitlist to prove it. The Aventador SV is the collector's answer — the hardest, rarest version of the car that defined the marque for a decade, and one of the last pure V12s ever built. Both wear scissor doors; both stop a street.
Two V12 Lamborghinis a decade apart — the Revuelto, the new 1,015 hp hybrid flagship, or the Aventador SV, the limited-run icon it replaced.
Lamborghini Revuelto (Black) vs Lamborghini Aventador: at a glance
| Specification | Lamborghini Revuelto (Black) | Lamborghini Aventador |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | V12 hybrid | 6.5L V12 |
| Seats | 2 | 2 |
| Doors | Scissor | Scissor |
| Signature | Flagship theatre | V12 drama |
Both are available chauffeur-driven across Greater Sydney. The right choice comes down to the arrival you want to make.
Choose the Lamborghini Revuelto (Black) if…
- You want the newest, most powerful statement in Sydney — the current flagship.
- A car most people have never seen in person: waitlist metal, parked at your event.
- Maximum modern drama for a formal, a music video or a brand shoot.
- You want the choice of black or matte white — we run one of each.
Choose the Lamborghini Aventador if…
- Rarity moves you more than novelty — a strictly limited run, appreciating at auction.
- You want the pure, unassisted V12 — no hybrid assistance, the old-school scream.
- A collector-car story in the photographs and the captions.
- A three-car set: the SV alongside both Revueltos is a line-up no one else in the country can stage.
What a decade of V12 changed
Put the two side by side and the story of modern Lamborghini is parked in front of you. The Aventador arrived in 2011 with a brand-new 6.5-litre V12 and carried it, unassisted, to the end — the SV is that engine at its rawest, 750 horsepower with nothing between your ear and the exhaust. The Revuelto keeps the twelve cylinders but adds three electric motors and 265 more horses, revs higher, and fills in every gap the old car left. In person the difference is character: the SV feels mechanical and slightly feral; the Revuelto feels impossibly complete. On camera, both own the frame — the SV with its jet-fighter angles, the Revuelto with surfacing a decade sharper.
The rarity question
Here the roles reverse. The Revuelto is scarce because it is new — the waitlist stretches years, and ours are among the first working examples in the country. The SV is scarce forever: a closed, limited production run that collectors now trade above its original price. One is hard to get yet; the other is hard to get ever again. Both live in our hypercar tier, which is not a sentence any other Sydney fleet can write.
The verdict
The Revuelto is the future and the Aventador SV is the legend — chauffeur-driven, the experience is close and the presence equal. Book the Revuelto for the newest-thing-on-the-road factor (and the black-or-white choice); book the SV for the limited-run V12 purity. For the shoot of the year, book all three.
The surest way to decide is to see them side by side — book a showroom visit in Lakemba, or build a line-up around your favourite.
