In case of difficulties like this, I produce the tex file (C-c C-e l l)
and then I process it by hand:

 pdflatex --shell-escape foo.tex

Separates concerns nicely.

This looks wrong. You probably want @@latex:\includesvg{mtcars}@@ in
your org file. In any case, the output in the tex file should be just

  \includesvg{mtcars}

Also, not sure how the \includegraphics is produced (are you evaluating a
source block?) but it should probably not be there, otherwise you are
going to get two images in your PDF.
