The Fenomeno is the quickest accelerating Lamborghini ever.
At Monterey Car Week 2025, Lamborghini unveiled its latest few-off hypercar, the Fenomeno. It is in the spirit of extremely limited-run hypercars like the Centenario and Veneno. But Lamborghini always needs to outdo itself, so the Fenomeno is the most powerful and quickest accelerating (to 60 mph) Lamborghini ever built and one of the most exclusive: only 29 units will be produced.
Power and Performance
Fenomeno is powered by a 6.5-liter (397 cubic inch) naturally aspirated V12 paired with three electric motors. The engine and motors combine to deliver a staggering 1,065 horsepower.
• V12 engine alone: 824 horsepower at 9,250 rpm
• Electric motors: 242 horsepower between 3 motors
• 0–62 mph (0–100 km/h): 2.4 seconds
• 0–124 mph (0–200 km/h): 6.7 seconds
• Top speed: 217+ mph (350+ km/h)
• Best in power-to-weight ratio of any Lamborghini model ever
The Fenomeno is quicker and more powerful than the 1001-horsepower Revuelto, with which it shares a platform and many parts.
The Lamborghini Fenomeno’s hybrid system is very similar to the Revuelto’s, but tuned for even more power. The V12 is paired with three electric motors and a 7 kWh lithium‑ion battery. Two motors drive the front wheels for torque vectoring and regenerative braking, while a third is mounted with the transmission to assist the V12, act as a starter/generator, and enable short-distance all‑electric driving.
Lamborghini’s History of Limited Hypercars
| Model | First Year |
|---|---|
| Fenomeno | 2026 |
| Invencible | 2023 |
| Auténtica | 2023 |
| Countach LPI 800-4 | 2022 |
| Essenza SCV12 | 2020 |
| Sián | 2020 |
| Centenario | 2016 |
| Veneno | 2013 |
| Sesto Elemento | 2013 |
| Reventón | 2008 |
Design and Aerodynamics
The Fenomeno features a new, more aggressive design language and styling. It blends the Lamborghini’s signature sharp lines with a longtail silhouette.
Key design features:
• Active aerodynamics with an “omega” rear wing
• S-Duct system for increased downforce
• Forged single-nut rims with custom Bridgestone Potenza tires
• A futuristic interior with carbon fiber bucket seats and three digital displays
The Fenomeno is designed to be equal parts collector’s piece and a track weapon. Single nut rims is something you’d see on a racecar at the highest levels of motorsports.
Exclusivity and Heritage
Like the Reventón (2007), Veneno (2013), and Centenario (2016), the Fenomeno continues Lamborghini’s tradition of ultra-limited “few-off” models. With only 29 cars being built, it’s rarer than the Veneno (13 units) and even the Sesto Elemento (reportedly 20 units). Expect prices to soar, maybe reaching the same price and excusivity as the Ferrari’s Daytona SP3 and McLaren’s Speedtail.
How It Stacks Up
• Versus Ferrari: The Fenomeno’s 1065 horsepower eclipses the Ferrari Daytona SP3’s V12 with 829 horsepower at 9500 rpm.
• Versus McLaren: It outguns the McLaren Speedtail (1035 hp hybrid) while offering a more aggressive, track-focused design.
• Versus Lamborghini’s own lineup: It sits above the Revuelto and the new Temerario, the Huracán successor, as the ultimate halo car.
Conclusion
Track attack meets concourse show car, the Fenomeno has record-breaking performance, radical design, and extreme rarity.
