Lamborghini Fenomeno V12 Hybrid – The beast comeback
Lamborghini Fenomeno V12 Hybrid is the quickest, most potent Lambo to ever roll out the production line—1,065 hp, 0–100 in 2.4s, only 29 units worldwide.
A Story 60 Years in the Making
Few monikers in the history of automobiles are as synonymous with drama as Lamborghini. Created in 1963 by Ferruccio Lamborghini, the marque was conceived out of a beef with Ferrari—and has since produced some of the most outlandish automobiles to ever roll off a factory floor. The Miura created the supercar. The Countach adorned the ’80s poster wall. The Aventador thundered through the 2010s as the embodiment of unadulterated excess.
Now comes the Fenomeno—a name that translates loosely to “phenomenon,” and fittingly so. It is not just Lamborghini’s fastest production car ever, but also its most exclusive. Born from the Revuelto’s hybrid platform, it was revealed in 2025 at Monterey Car Week—a mecca for the wealthy elite and car collectors. This wasn’t coincidence; it was theatre. The Fenomeno is a rolling statement of Lamborghini’s past, present, and future.
And here’s the twist: just 29 units will ever be made. That’s less cars than there are days in February.
Inside the Beast – Carbon, Craft, and Chaos
The interior of the Fenomeno is like being inside a jet fighter cockpit—but its Italian. Lamborghini has never been one to blur the distinction between brutal performance and outrageous design, and here it’s turned up to eleven.
Materials: Carbon-fiber monocoque body clad in Alcantara, high-end leathers, and forged composites.
Craftsmanship: Hand-stitched by hand, every panel carefully aligned with the precision.
Technology:
12.3-inch digital instrument cluster with telemetry.
8.4-inch touchscreen featuring hybrid mode controls.
High-level driver information display modes (track, sport, strada).
What’s more, Lamborghini’s Ad Personam program turns each Fenomeno into a one-off masterpiece. Want a cockpit trimmed in blood-red leather with neon stitching to match your sneakers? Done. Prefer something subtle, like carbon-fiber everything with matte grey hides? They’ll nod and build it. This isn’t just customization—it’s personalization to the point of obsession.
And yet, with all the theatrics, it’s habitable. It’s more visible than you’d think, and the infotainment is never an afterthought. It’s a supercar you could ostensibly daily—if your daily drive takes you past Monaco.
Performance – The Symphony of 12 Cylinders and Electrons
Finally, the bit where Lamborghini owners smile like naughty schoolchildren: performance.
At its heart is the final of a vanishing species: a 6.5-liter V12 that’s naturally aspirated, but tuned to deliver approximately 823 hp. That alone is ridiculous. But Lamborghini wasn’t finished yet. They fitted three electric motors (two at the front, one within the gearbox) for electrically instant torque output and a combined system power of 1,065 hp.
The figures are preposterous: LocalizedMessage
0–100 km/h (0–62 mph): 2.4 seconds. That’s quicker than the Aventador SVJ, quicker than some Bugattis.
Top Speed: Over 350 km/h.
Power-to-weight ratio: 1.64 kg per horsepower—Lamborghini’s best figure ever.
EV-only mode: 20 km, which won’t win any eco awards, but it’s perfect for sneaking out of your villa before sunrise without waking the neighbors.
Drive modes reconfigure the power: Strada for highway cruising, Sport for weekend driving, Corsa for track domination, and EV mode for low covert ops. In attack mode full-out, it’s as savage as a hurricane.
Safety and Stability – Taming the Mayhem
With capabilities like these, safety isn’t a choice—it’s necessity. Lamborghini outfits the Fenomeno with:
Race-bred carbon-ceramic brakes (CCM-R Plus) that bring the car to a spine-squashing halt.
A carbon monocoque chassis that forms a survival cell around the driver.
Electronic aids: adaptive traction control, stability systems, predictive ABS.
Driver assists: blind-spot monitoring, lane alerts, collision sensors.
It’s reassuring to know that even when you’re piloting something that could outpace a fighter jet on the runway, Lamborghini has built layers of safety into the madness.
Capabilities Beyond the Numbers
The Fenomeno isn’t just about shocking specs—it’s a multi-dimensional wild hypercar.
Track-ready: Active aerodynamics borrowed from Huracán GT3 and Essenza SCV12 racing tech. Long-tail shape enhances stability at the upper limits of speed.
Road-capable: Adaptive suspension means it’s astonishingly civilized on smooth roads.
Daily versatility: EV-only mode provides city usability (imagine London or Milan’s emission zones).
Collector’s dream: Extremely limited numbers ensure value appreciation is a certainty.
It's not only quick—it's practical within its ridiculous niche.
Pricing and Availability – Exclusivity with a Capital
This is the bit where your wallet begins to dry. The Lamborghini Fenomeno will cost approximately €3 million ($3–3.5 million). And no, you won’t be able to simply wander in at a dealership and order one. All 29 examples are already taken—reserved for Lamborghini’s most cherished and richest clients.
If you’re not already on the brand’s ultra-exclusive list, your chances of owning one are about as likely as winning the lottery while being struck by lightning. Twice.

Final Verdict – The New Crown Jewel of Sant’Agata

For the 29 owners selected, the Fenomeno is not merely a car—it’s an heirloom, a rolling work of art to be preserved in air-conditioned garages, to be rolled out at concours exhibits years and decades hence. For the rest of us, it’s a reminder of why Lamborghini was created: to make us dream, to astound us, to remind us that automobiles can be sheer theatre.
In the end, the Fenomeno doesn’t just raise the bar—it launches it into orbit.
