Lamborghini Fenomeno: When ‘Phenomenal’ Gets a Power Boost—6,498 cc V12 + Hybrid Surge

Lamborghini has once again raised the bar with the Fenomeno, a hyper-limited plug-in hybrid supercar that’s rewriting the rules of performance and design. Unveiled at Monterey Car Week as part of Lamborghini’s “Few-Off” collection, this engineering marvel marries raw power, electrification, and exclusivity into one spectacular package.

What Makes the Fenomeno So Different?

At its heart lies a colossal 6,498 cc naturally aspirated V12 engine, delivering a staggering 835 CV, or approximately 824 bhp at 9,250 rpm. Complementing this is a trio of electric motors providing 245 CV (about 242 bhp), for a combined output of 1,080 CV, or 1,065 bhp. Torque figures are equally electrifying – the V12 yields 725 Nm at 6,750 rpm, while the front electric motors each contribute an impressive 350 Nm. 

Why Was the Fenomeno Made?

Lamborghini describes the Fenomeno as a “design manifesto”—an extreme expression of its design DNA and technical daring, with advancements unseen in previous models. Stephan Winkelmann, Lamborghini’s CEO, noted that the car pushes technical boundaries, honouring the brand’s bold heritage. 

Performance That Speaks Volumes

•0–100 km/h: 2.4 seconds
•0–200 km/h: 6.7 seconds
•Top speed: Over 350 km/h

This makes the Fenomeno Lamborghini’s fastest production V12 car to date. Its power-to-weight ratio of 1.64 kg/PS stands as the best in the marque’s 62-year history. 

Design & Engineering Highlights

This is no mere facelift. The Fenomeno features enhanced aerodynamics—such as GT3-style S-ducts, improved cooling, and a redesigned hood that increases downforce. Its chassis is a carbon-fiber monocoque with Forged Composite elements, paired with CCM-R Plus carbon-ceramic brakes for motorsport-grade stopping power.

Limited Availability, Limitless Impact

A total of just 29 units will be offered to customers, plus one retained by Lamborghini—each carrying a bespoke level of customization via the Ad Personam program.
