Lamborghini Model Lineup Explained
Short Answer
Lamborghini’s current range has three families: the V12 Revuelto, the V8 Temerario and the Urus SE Super SUV, all plug-in hybrids. Each continues an older line, and the badges follow a few rules: LP marks a longitudinal rear engine with the power in CV, -2 and -4 mark rear- or four-wheel drive, and S, SV, SVJ and Performante mark sharper versions.
How is Lamborghini’s current range organised?
On 24 October 2026 Lamborghini’s international website listed six models in three families. The V12 super sports car is the Revuelto, with the Revuelto SV and the limited Revuelto Miura 60° Homage. The V8 super sports car is the Temerario. The Super SUV is the Urus, sold as the Urus SE and Urus SE Performante. All three families are plug-in hybrids; how that differs from other hybrids is explained in Otto’s guide to hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric cars.
What is the Revuelto family?
The Revuelto is Lamborghini’s V12 flagship and, in Lamborghini’s words, heir to a lineage that began with the first 350 GT. It was also the brand’s first High Performance Electrified Vehicle (HPEV): a new V12, three electric motors and a dual-clutch gearbox give 1,015 CV. The Revuelto SV takes this to 1,065 CV with an 825 CV V12, and the Revuelto Miura 60° Homage, limited to 99 cars, marks the Miura’s 60th anniversary.
Where does the Temerario fit?
The Temerario is the second HPEV and Lamborghini’s first super sports car with a twin-turbo V8 and three electric motors, for 920 CV. It belongs to the smaller of Lamborghini’s two super sports car lines: it replaced the Huracán in 2024, which had succeeded the Gallardo in 2014, and Lamborghini calls the Gallardo the heir of the earlier V8 Urraco, Silhouette and Jalpa.
What are the Urus SE and Urus SE Performante?
The Urus, presented in 2018 as the first Super Sport Utility Vehicle, uses a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, and in the Urus SE an electric motor as well. The Urus SE, the first plug-in hybrid Super SUV, has 800 CV and more than 60 km of electric driving; the Urus SE Performante raises this to 812 CV. Lamborghini’s first off-roader was the V12 LM002 of 1986, which it calls the precursor of the Urus.
How have Lamborghini’s model families followed one another?
The front-engined grand tourers ran from the 350 GT and 400 GT through the Islero and Espada to the Jarama, the last of them. The mid-engined V12 flagship began with the Miura and continued with the Countach, the Diablo, which replaced it in 1990, the Murciélago, the Aventador, which succeeded it in 2011, and today the Revuelto. The smaller line ran from the V8 Urraco, Silhouette and Jalpa to the V10 Gallardo and Huracán and now the Temerario. Knowing the family helps when you look up parts, service history or the right specialist for a car.
Where do Lamborghini’s model names come from?
Many come from bullfighting, a nod to the bull in the badge: the Miura is named after a famous breed of Spanish fighting bull, the Murciélago after a bull spared in a bullfight, and with the Jalpa of 1981 Lamborghini returned to fighting-bull names. Others have different roots: Countach is a Piedmontese exclamation of amazement, and Sián means lightning in the dialect of Bologna.
What do LP, the numbers and -2 or -4 mean?
In a name such as Murciélago LP 640, LP stands for Longitudinale Posteriore, the engine mounted lengthways behind the cabin, and the number gives the power in CV. The earlier Miura P400 used P for the engine position and 400 for its four-litre displacement. A final -2 or -4 matches the driven wheels on Lamborghini’s own model pages: the Gallardo LP 550-2 is rear-wheel drive, while the Gallardo LP 560-4 and Aventador LP 780-4 have four-wheel drive.
What do S, SV, SVJ, Ultimae and Performante mean?
S marks an improved version, a tradition that Lamborghini traces through the Miura, Islero, Countach and Urraco to the Aventador S. SV stands for Superveloce and marks a lighter, more extreme car, from the Miura SV and Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce to the Aventador SV and Revuelto SV. SVJ went further still on the Aventador, which also had a 63-car SVJ 63 edition. Performante, which Lamborghini uses for its high-performance versions, has appeared on the Gallardo Spyder, Huracán, Urus and Urus SE. Ultimae named the final Aventador, built as 350 coupés.
What do EVO, STO, Tecnica, Sterrato, Spyder and Roadster mean?
These names describe versions within a family, mostly on the Huracán. EVO was the evolved Huracán with 640 CV, STO a road-legal car built to feel like a racing car, Tecnica a bridge between road and track, and Sterrato a version raised by 44 mm with a Rally mode for unpaved surfaces. Open cars are called Spyder on the V10 Gallardo and Huracán and Roadster on the V12 models, a line Lamborghini traces from the 350 GTS and Miura Roadster to the Diablo and Murciélago Roadsters.
What are Few-Off cars, special series and Ad Personam?
Few-Off is Lamborghini’s name for its most limited cars: the first was the Reventón of 2007, with 20 coupés, followed by models such as the Centenario (40 cars), the hybrid Sián FKP 37, the Countach LPI 800-4 (112 cars) and the Fenomeno (29 cars). Special series are limited versions of a regular model, such as the 99-car Revuelto Miura 60° Homage or the Aventador SVJ 63. Ad Personam is the personalisation programme for individual colours and trims.
Where do Squadra Corse and Polo Storico fit?
Squadra Corse, created in 2013, is Lamborghini’s motorsport department: it designs and builds cars for customer racing in-house. Its range includes Super Trofeo one-make racers, GT3 cars such as the Temerario GT3, the first GT racing car developed entirely by Lamborghini, the SC63 endurance prototype, the track-only Essenza SCV12 (40 cars) and one-offs such as the SC18 Alston and SC20. Polo Storico, opened in 2015, looks after classic Lamborghinis with archive research, certification of authenticity, restoration and original parts.
Are Lamborghini models different in Oman and the Gulf?
Otto could not confirm any differences from official Lamborghini sources. Lamborghini publishes international, Italian, German, French, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese and Korean editions of its website but no Gulf edition, and no official page read lists Oman- or GCC-specific versions or specifications. Lamborghini itself says that not all contents are available in all markets, and that the consumption and emissions figures on its site depend on the visitor’s location. Its site also lists a Lamborghini Club Oman for owners. So check the specification, equipment and availability of a car with an authorised Lamborghini dealer, and for a used or imported car, a pre-purchase inspection confirms what you are buying; AutoTronix PERFORMANCE offers inspection-led support for Lamborghinis.
Common Questions
- Is there a fully electric Lamborghini? Not in the current range, which consists of plug-in hybrids. Lamborghini has shown an electric concept car, the Terzo Millennio, which stores energy in supercapacitors.
- Has Lamborghini made a four-door car? Not in series production. The Estoque was a four-door concept car, while the closest production models were four-seaters such as the Espada of 1968.
- How large is Lamborghini’s dealer network? The Volkswagen Group gives Lamborghini a network of 186 dealers in 56 countries. Lamborghini’s own dealer locator is the place to find the nearest one.
