Lamborghini unveiled the Revuelto SV last Friday (the 14th), which is the most powerful production car ever created by the Italian manufacturer. This hybrid supercar boasts 1,065 horsepower and 145.3 kg·m of torque. Production will be limited to 1,963 units, referencing the company's founding year—1963.
The Revuelto SV has already become the fastest production car recorded at the German Hockenheim track. The basic structure retains the HPEV system used in the Revuelto: a 6.5-liter atmospheric V12 engine tuned to 825 hp at 9,250 rpm, combined with three electric motors—two axial on the front axle and one radial alongside an eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox.
Thanks to an expanded lithium-ion battery pack with a capacity of 7.3 kWh, the total power increased by 50 hp compared to the standard version's 1,015 hp. The car demonstrates acceleration to 100 km/h in 2.4 seconds, to 200 km/h in 6.7 seconds, and its top speed exceeds 345 km/h. The dry weight is 1,772 kg, matching the weight of the standard Revuelto.
The manufacturer designates the SV as the most powerful and fastest production Lamborghini. Notably, the standard version still has a slightly higher top speed. However, the manufacturer's argument rests on track performance: official driver Marco Mapelli set a record of 1 minute 41.6 at Hockenheim, an unprecedented result for a production car on that circuit.
The most significant change concerns aerodynamics compared to the Revuelto. Vertical load increased by 80% and exceeded the Aventador SVJ's figure by 10%, while the load-to-drag ratio improved by 60%. To achieve this, a new front splitter, triangular air intakes in the lower bumper, and a fixed double wing with a Herni element were installed, replacing the active element of the standard model and helping to dissipate engine heat.
The braking system utilizes CCM-R Plus carbon-ceramic brakes with 42 cm front and 41 cm rear discs. According to Lamborghini data, the car can decelerate from 200 km/h in approximately 110 meters. The configuration is complemented by GT3-derived manually adjustable dampers, as well as 20-inch 3D-Superlight Dromos wheels in the front and 21-inch in the rear, which feature central mounting for the first time on a production Lamborghini.
A red switch on the steering wheel activates the new Pilota mode, which offers five levels of torque control adapted to tire wear and track conditions, along with the Anima dynamics controller. Bridgestone developed special compounds for various scenarios, including Potenza Race semi-slicks and Blizzak LM005 winter tires.
Customization options include up to 25 external components made of visible carbon fiber, five wheel finish options, and 12 colors for the center cap and brake calipers. The price was not disclosed; however, Autoblog estimates it at approximately $1 million USD with options, considering the standard Revuelto starts at over $600,000 USD in the United States. One of the 1,963 units is displayed in Monterey, California, during Car Week.
Terracotta products made from clay mined in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, such as elephants, horses, lamps, and decorative items, are no longer limited to local markets. Demand for this terracotta product has reached major cities nationwide and international markets. Many artisans who previously earned a living through family skills are now earning millions of rupees thanks to this work. The 'One District One Product' (ODOP) program, the acquisition of the GI Tag, training, and government support have played a significant role in this.
Terracotta in Gorakhpur is an ancient craft practiced by local pottery families. Initially, toys are made from special smooth clay dug from ponds, and then they are fired in kilns. This process creates various decorative items, including figurines, horses, lamps, and other objects.
A large number of families engage in this trade in areas such as Huthan Kas, Langdi Gulria, and Padri Bazar in Gorakhpur. Women also find employment in this business, working from home. This has contributed to the development of traditional art and strengthened the financial position of families.
Gorakhpur terracotta was included in the 'One District One Product' program of Uttar Pradesh, which intensified the focus on promoting this traditional art in the market. Obtaining the GI Tag further enhanced the recognizability of the terracotta. Under government schemes, artisans received assistance such as training and toolkits. Trained individuals could also receive subsidies to expand their businesses. As a result, many artisans have managed to transform small home-based work into large commercial ventures.
Rajan Pradapati from the Gulria area is a prime example of such success. Rajan, who received the Presidential Award, now manages a large terracotta manufacturing business. His factory employs about 25 workers. Up to two trucks are dispatched at one time, with one truck carrying goods worth about 4–5 lakh rupees. According to Rajan, approximately 24 trucks are sent out annually, generating an annual turnover of up to one and a half billion rupees. Rajan, who once lived in a mud house, now resides in a permanent structure, and his business provides employment for other families.
Pannalal Pradapati from Aurangabad village in the Gulria area is also actively developing his traditional trade. He manages the work of 5–7 artisans who specialize in molding and firing figurines. Pannalal explains that he previously lacked the necessary tools. After receiving a free toolkit from the government, the pace of work accelerated. He now sends one truckload of goods every month, bringing him an annual income of 60–70 lakh rupees. Pannalal, who used to live in a shed, now runs his business from a permanent house. After starting small, he aims to expand his business.
Even small artisans have received support. Hiralal Pradapati from Aurangabad has been involved in terracotta for about 18 years. He notes that previously, he had to use his home for work. Now, separate workspaces have been arranged for artisans. He earns about 15–16 thousand rupees per month from this work, totaling about 4 lakh rupees annually. There are about 12 shops in the village employing 60–70 people. Finished products are shipped to other cities by truck.
The Fiat Fastback maintains a price below R$ 100 thousand for people with disabilities (PcD), even after the end of the sales event known as 'Feirão Agosto Arrasador' (Devastating August Fair).
This promotion took place during the weekend of August 15th and 16th in over 500 dealerships.
Specifically, the Turbo 200 version, without any options, is available for R$ 99,980 cash, through direct sale to PcD. This special condition is valid until September 2nd or while stocks last, whichever comes first, limited to 20 units.
According to Fiat, the discount of R$ 20,010 applied to the original cash price of R$ 119,990 is due to the IPI and ICMS exemptions applicable to the direct sales modality. The offer refers to the Fastback Turbo 200 Flex AT model, brand new, year-model 2026/2026, in Volcano Black, and without additional accessories.
For the general public, during the fair, the entry-level Turbo 200 version, equipped with the Smart Drive package, was presented with an initial price of R$ 119,990. This package includes features such as glossy black mirror trim, body-colored door handles, wireless charging, rearview camera, keyless entry, and remote start.
Other models were highlighted in the campaign. The Mobi, flagship car, had its Like version offered for R$ 72,490, which the manufacturer claims is the lowest price in Brazil for this model. The Mobi Trekking, aimed at a more adventurous profile, was sold for R$ 79,690.
However, the cheapest car title varies according to the campaign. The week before the fair, Renault dealerships advertised the Kwid for less than R$ 70 thousand, although these were regional conditions, dependent on stock, and not corresponding to the official brand table, which sets the value at R$ 82,790.
The Pulse also participated in the promotional sales. Its manual Drive 1.3 version started at R$ 99,990, while the automatic version was available from R$ 109,990. Furthermore, it was possible to contract the Fiat by Subscription program with installments of R$ 2,299. The top-of-the-line model, Pulse Abarth, was quoted from R$ 146,290.
In the pickup truck category, the Toro Endurance received a bonus of R$ 4,000 when trading in a used Fiat vehicle. The Freedom version, which features an 8.4-inch multimedia center, rearview camera, and dual-zone automatic air conditioning, had an initial price of R$ 134,990. The Strada Endurance, recognized as the best-selling vehicle in the country, was offered from R$ 87,790 in direct sales.
The fair period coincided with a series of offers from competitors, including actions by Volkswagen and the Caoa group, intensifying competition for prices in the second half of the automotive market.
Fiat did not provide information on the permanence of the other conditions announced during the fair after the event concluded. The manufacturer advises consumers to check current values at a partner dealership before finalizing any purchase.

According to Ujwal Singh, Director of Industries, Gorakhpur terracotta is being promoted under ODOP. He emphasizes that because it is an ancient art form, artisans associated with it receive support through training. This training includes free toolkits and subsidies as needed. The government's goal is not only to train masters but also to bring their products to larger markets.
The story of Gorakhpur terracotta is not just a story of creating clay objects; it is a narrative of craftsmanship passed down through generations within families. The ODOP programs, the GI Tag, government aid, and market linkage have given this art form a new direction. Products that were once used for daily needs in the village are now reaching major cities. For many artisans, this work has become not just a tradition but a reliable source of employment and income.
