The Few-Off Lamborghini Fenomeno: A Design Manifesto and the Most Powerful V12 Ever

Automobili Lamborghini has once again pushed the boundaries of automotive excellence with the Fenomeno, a rare supercar limited to only 29 units worldwide. This exclusive model not only embodies Lamborghini’s signature boldness but also commemorates the 20th anniversary of Lamborghini Centro Stile, the design hub that has defined the aesthetics of modern supercars from Sant’Agata Bolognese. Following the lineage of ultra-limited editions such as the Reventón, Sesto Elemento, Veneno, Centenario, Sián, and Countach, the Fenomeno is a testament to Lamborghini’s enduring philosophy: create vehicles that combine artistry, extreme performance, and emotional impact. Each car is hand-assembled, and every detail, from the exterior lines to the smallest interior trim, is crafted to ensure unique individuality for its owner. Lamborghini continues its tradition of naming its V12 models after fighting bulls, and the Fenomeno is no exception. The name, translating to “phenomenal” in both Italian and Spanish, celebrates legendary courage and exceptional power, reflecting the audacity that defines every Lamborghini. In a world of supercars, the Fenomeno doesn’t just compete it defines a new echelon of automotive phenomena.

At the heart of the Fenomeno lies Lamborghini’s most powerful V12 engine ever, a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter unit producing 835 CV at 9,250 rpm. Augmented by three high-performance electric motors delivering an additional 245 CV, the Fenomeno achieves a combined output of 1,080 CV, propelling the car from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.4 secondsand 0 to 200 km/h in 6.7 seconds. Its top speed exceeds 350 km/h, making it one of the fastest naturally aspirated V12 supercars in history. The hybrid powertrain is paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox, optimized for lightning-fast shifts, while four-wheel drive and advanced torque vectoring ensure exceptional grip in all conditions. Unique to the Fenomeno is the ability to operate in 100% electric mode, ideal for short urban journeys or silent cruising, blending high performance with environmental awareness. Driving dynamics are elevated further by CCM-R Plus carbon-ceramic brakes, a racing-tuned suspension system, and a 6D sensor monitoring vehicle behavior in real time. Every element is engineered for track-level precision, while the weight-to-power ratio of 1.64 kg/CV ensures a level of agility and responsiveness rarely seen in a V12 hybrid supercar. In short, the Fenomeno is a symphony of raw power, advanced technology, and driver engagement.

Lamborghini describes the Fenomeno as a “design manifesto,” pushing the boundaries of its iconic styling while embracing the functional needs of extreme performance. The car’s long-tail silhouette and aerodynamic carbon-fiber body are designed not just to look futuristic but to enhance downforce, cooling, and high-speed stability. Every contour, from the sculpted front hood with Y-shaped intakes to the rear diffuser and integrated vertical light signature, is both aesthetic and functional. Inside, the Fenomeno offers a cockpit-like experience, inspired by aerospace engineering. The minimalist dashboard integrates three digital displays, providing critical information without distraction. Bespoke carbon-fiber bucket seatsand a fully customizable Ad Personam interior program allow clients to tailor the cabin with over 400 exterior colors and limitless interior combinations, ensuring each Fenomeno is truly one-of-a-kind. The design philosophy extends to details like the rear wing’s adaptive aerodynamics, engine cover with heat-dissipating vents, and even the forged single-nut wheels, marrying technology and artistry in a cohesive package. The Fenomeno is not merely a car; it is a statement of design, engineering, and identity, encapsulating the very essence of Lamborghini.

Aerodynamics play a central role in the Fenomeno’s performance. Systems such as the S-Duct, concave roof profile, and NACA-style side intakes optimize airflow, reduce drag, and channel cooling efficiently to both engine and brakes. The mobile rear wing automatically adjusts to driving conditions, enhancing high-speed stability and cornering performance. Technological innovations extend beyond aerodynamics. The 6D sensor system tracks acceleration, yaw, pitch, and wheel load, integrating this data into the Integrated Vehicle Estimator for optimal handling response. Meanwhile, the 3D carbon-ceramic brakes and racing-derived suspension guarantee unparalleled stopping power and chassis precision, even under extreme driving conditions. Every technical detail of the Fenomeno is meticulously crafted to maximize driver confidence, safety, and engagement. It is a car that invites the driver to explore the limits of speed, control, and sensory experience, setting a new standard for what a hypercar can achieve. In the Fenomeno, engineering, design, and emotion converge into a machine that is as breathtaking to behold as it is to drive.
