The Lamborghini Fenomeno

Automobili Lamborghini is renowned for creating vehicles that stir powerful emotions through both their design and driving experience. The recent debut of the Fenomeno at Monterey Car Week 2025 proves that, despite adopting a hybrid powertrain, the Italian brand’s dedication to a visceral, analog, and engaging driving experience remains undiminished.

The Fenomeno, a “few-off” limited edition (just 29 examples will be built) supercar, follows the tradition begun by the Reventón—both models were created as exclusive limited editions showcasing Lamborghini’s cutting-edge design and technology. “When we presented the Reventón in 2007, our goal was to create a truly superlative super sports car that represented the ultimate expression of what Lamborghini stood for,” says Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. “This new few-off carries forward the same philosophy of distinction and innovation that is a fundamental part of our DNA.”

Lamborghini has pushed boundaries with each previous vehicle in the series (including the Reventón, Sesto Elemento, Veneno, Centenario, Sián, and Countach). The Fenomeno continues the tradition with lightweight construction and record-breaking gasoline-electric hybrid power. While some may attempt to dismiss hybridization as a departure from driving excitement and the driver’s analog connection with an automobile, Lamborghini focused its efforts on ensuring that the passion and emotion didn’t get lost—they are amplified.

Mid-mounted in the chassis is the most powerful V12 engine in Lamborghini’s history. Three electric motors complement the massive gasoline-fed naturally-aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine—two are tasked with driving the front axle, while the third radial flux electric motor is positioned above the gearbox, to provide power to the rear wheels. The V12 revs to an astronomical 9,500 rpm and is rated at 823 hp. The electric motors add 242 horsepower—and gobs of low-end torque. Combined, total system output is 1,065 hp, which will deliver a manufacturer-claimed 0-60 mph sprint in 2.4 seconds towards a top speed more than 217 mph (most industry insiders believe those numbers are conservative).

Lamborghini has refined the Fenomeno’s aerodynamics to maximize efficiency, performance, and stability at high speeds to allow the driver to push the vehicle to its limits. The front splitter incorporates two air curtains that direct the air parallel to the wheels, reducing drag (and feeding cooling air to the radiators). An S-Duct system, installed on the front of the vehicle, increases the front aerodynamic load to ensure perfect vehicle dynamics during sports driving. A special ‘omega’ design on the rear wing further maximizes vehicle stability at high speeds. Even the newly sculpted door design plays a part—it directs airflow towards the large air intakes on the sides (the result is over 30 percent more efficient side-cooling compared to a series production Lamborghini V12).

Lastly, to ensure the contact patch with the pavement—the tactile relationship with earth—is up to the task, Lamborghini fits the Fenomeno with turbine-design single-nut forged wheels (21” at the front and 22” at the rear). The alloys are wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza Sport tires, sized 265/30 ZRF21 and 355/25 ZRF22. Bridgestone, a world leader in premium tires and sustainable mobility solutions, is the exclusive tire partner for the Fenomeno. “At Lamborghini, design and performance go hand in hand—and with Bridgestone, we have a partner who understands both,” said Christian Mastro, Lamborghini’s Marketing Director. “Tires are a vital part of how a supercar performs: outside of technical updates, 70 percent of the improvements in these cars today come from advances in the tires they sit on.”

The name Fenomeno proudly carries on Lamborghini’s legendary tradition of naming cars after fierce and famous bulls—this one inspired by a courageous and iconic bull from Morelia, Mexico. In both Italian and Spanish, “Fenomeno” means “phenomenal,” perfectly capturing something truly remarkable and one-of-a-kind. And that’s no exaggeration—Lamborghini has already sold out this extraordinary supercar.
