Lamborghini Fenomeno Debuts as the Most Powerful V12 Ever
by Marouf Hussain Chowdhury. | August 19, 2025.
Lamborghini has unveiled its latest few-off hypercar, the Fenomeno, at Monterey Car Week 2025. Limited to just 29 units worldwide, the Fenomeno represents the brand’s newest design manifesto, blending iconic Lamborghini DNA with cutting-edge performance and electrification.​
A New Design Manifesto
The Fenomeno celebrates 20 years of “Lamborghini Centro Stile”, the brand’s in-house design studio. It features a futuristic long-tail silhouette, bold Y-shaped lighting signatures, and aerodynamics inspired by race cars.
​
​
The front sports dual air intakes reminiscent of the Huracán GT3, while the side profile draws inspiration from the Essenza SCV12. The rear is dominated by an integrated carbon diffuser, vertical Y-shaped taillights, and a movable omega-shaped rear wing.
​
The debut livery, finished in “Giallo Crius” (yellow) with exposed carbon accents, highlights both muscular proportions and functional aerodynamics.
Lamborghini Fenomeno Powertrain: Most Powerful V12 in Lamborghini’s History
At its heart, the Fenomeno packs a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12, producing 824 hp at 9,250 rpm. This is paired with three electric motors (two on the front axle and one integrated into the gearbox), pushing combined output to 1,065 hp.
-
0-100 km/h: 2.4 seconds
-
0-200 km/h: 6.7 seconds
-
Top speed: 350+ km/h
-
Weight-to-power ratio: 1.64 kg/CV (best in Lamborghini history)
Power is delivered through an eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox, mounted transversely to optimise weight distribution and compactness.
Racing-Derived Technology
The Fenomeno incorporates several firsts for Lamborghini:
-
6D Sensor & Integrated Vehicle Estimator (IVE): Predicts and adapts dynamics in real time for maximum precision.
-
CCM-R Plus Carbon-Ceramic Brakes: Derived from endurance racing, ensuring extreme stopping power and durability.
-
Forged single-nut rims with custom Bridgestone Potenza Sport tyres, available in both road and semi-slick track versions.
Suspension features manually adjustable racing shocks, while aerodynamics benefit from an S-Duct system, concave roof channelling, and side air management for 30% more efficient cooling.
Interior: “Feel Like a Pilot”
Inside, the Fenomeno follows Lamborghini’s pilot-inspired philosophy with carbon-fibre bucket seats, a race steering wheel, and three digital displays. Most physical buttons have been eliminated for a minimalist, driver-focused setup.
Materials include forged composite carbon, 3D-printed air vents, and extensive Alcantara. Ambient lighting emphasises the “spaceship-like” cockpit.
Through the Ad Personam program, customers can choose from over 400 exterior colours and nearly limitless interior combinations.
Legacy of Few-Off Lamborghinis
The Fenomeno continues Lamborghini’s tradition of ultra-limited editions, following iconic models such as the Reventón (2007), Sesto Elemento (2010), Veneno (2013), Centenario (2016), Sián (2019), and Countach LPI 800-4 (2021).
Its name comes from a legendary fighting bull, Fenomeno, “pardoned” in Morelia, Mexico, in 2002 for its exceptional qualities.

Lamborghini Fenomeno Price & Availability
Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Lamborghini, called the Fenomeno “the most extraordinary super sports car of our time — a true manifesto of technology and design.”
With just 29 examples planned, the Lamborghini Fenomeno is set to become one of the rarest and most extreme V12 models from Sant’Agata Bolognese.
The Lamborghini Fenomeno has not released any official pricing, with a few international news outlets reporting it to be around AED 13 million, or 3.5 million dollars. If you were thinking of getting one, you’re already too late as all 29 units have been sold. Expect to see a few examples appear on UAE roads sometime next year.
