For Lamborghini, the quail is the sacred grail of the luxury car events. The brand traditionally uses these exclusive assembly of Monterey Car Week to debut its latest Halo models – and this year is no different. Admission: the Lamborghini Fenomeno.
The CEO of Lamborghini, Stephan Winkelmann, bathed in sunlight, confidently steps on stage. Each brand only receives seven minutes to present the latest amount to the money, and not even Lamborghini is freed. But the North Italian Supercar manufacturer rarely misses its moment. The cover is withdrawn and reveals the wild, bright yellow fenomeno that crouches on the flawless white stage. Applause follows. The price? Over 3 million euros per car, all tailor -made.
The Fenomeno is the fastest and most powerful Lamborghini that has ever been built, 1,080 hp from a combination of a nature the 6.5 liter V12 and three electric motors. Thanks to all -wheel drive and 725 Nm torque, 0–100 km/h is sent in just 2.4 seconds. Top speed? North of 350 km/h. “All 29 units we will build have already been sold,” says Winkelmann proudly. He came to Lamborghini exactly 20 years ago and has been supervising a transformation since then – the five times more employees and seven times more built cars that were eagerly built. The reviewer on which the Fenomeno is based is sold out by the end of 2027.
The Fenomeno is the ninth model in Lamborghinis Ween-Off series, in which exclusivity is the core mission. “When we started the Reventón in 2007, the goal was to create a really extraordinary super sports car – one that was the ultimate expression of Lamborghini,” explains Winkelmann. “These new few statements continue this philosophy of uniqueness and innovation, which lies in the heart of our DNA.”
The Fenomeno was named after a victorious bull from the combat arena and delivers its colossal force over a hybrid drive: a 835PS V12 that revised to 9,500 rpm, and three electric motors that add another 245 hp. Torque tips at 725 Nm at 6,750 rpm, 80% of only 3,500 rpm. The internal combustion engine supplies the rear wheels, while two 110 kW engines feed the front axle, and a third radialblux engine sends additional torque to the rear depending on the selected drive mode. Whether in silent stealth or Fury-Fury, the Fenomeno offers electrical precision with old school theater. In contrast to the reviewer, the Fenomeno has a newly developed 7.0 kWh battery that is properly integrated into the central tunnel.
The brakes are friendly with the Lamborghini CCM-R Plus system, whereby carbon ceramico slices are coordinated for both roads and on the route. But while the Fenomeno shares its basic architecture with the revuello, its chassis is completely tailor -made – the components from a future GT3 racing racing.
The damping is manually adjustable, not electronically controlled and offers compression and back bump settings tailored to the driver’s intention. It also has a new ratio of suspension-to-tyre sizes, which runs 265/30 ZRF21 fronts and 355/25 ZRF22 back.
But beyond the hardware, Lamborghini’s design team made courageous progress. “With the Fenomeno we open a new chapter in our unmistakable, future -oriented design language,” says design manager Mitja Borkert. “The same authentic and highly recognizable design principles follow that started with the original LP500 Countach.” At 5.01 meters long, the fenomeno is both a design statement and a brutal piece of rolling performance art.
