Only 15 examples planned worldwide.

  • Lamborghini will build only 15 examples of the Fenomeno Roadster.
  • Its hybrid V12 powertrain produces 794kW and enables electric driving.
  • The new roadster reaches 100km/h in 2.4 seconds.

Lamborghini has pulled the covers off the Fenomeno Roadster, a roofless, ultra-limited V12 hybrid created for buyers who think a Revuelto is a little too common.

Just 15 examples will be built, making this one of Sant’Agata’s rarest Few-Off models. It also claims a fairly wild title: the most powerful open-top Lamborghini yet, with a combined 794kW from its electrified 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 powertrain.

No roof, no shortage of speed

The numbers are suitably unhinged.

Lamborghini says the Fenomeno Roadster will hit 100km/h in 2.4 seconds, reach 200km/h in 6.8 seconds and push beyond 340km/h at full noise.

The V12 alone produces 614kW at 9250rpm and 725Nm at 6750rpm. It is paired with three electric motors: two up front and one mounted above the eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox. A 7kWh lithium-ion battery also allows fully electric driving, although Lamborghini has not disclosed electric-only range yet.

“Fenomeno Roadster represents the purest expression of our brand values: visionary design, uncompromising performance, and absolute exclusivity,” says Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A.

“It is a unique interpretation of driving emotion, created for a select group of customers who seek something truly beyond convention. Each example is conceived as a collectible masterpiece, where engineering excellence meets true bespoke craftsmanship.”

Aero gets the roofless treatment

Lamborghini has not simply chopped the top off the Fenomeno Coupé. The Roadster gets a fresh aerodynamic package, including a new windscreen spoiler that guides air over the cockpit and into the engine bay.

The rollover protection bars are carbon-fibre items, shaped to reduce buffeting while blending into the speedster-style rear humps.

There is plenty of theatre, too: hexagonal lighting details, a high-mounted exhaust, active rear aero and a visible V12 framed like mechanical jewellery.

“With the Fenomeno Roadster, we are continuing the dream of many Lamborghini enthusiasts. It’s an exclusive and precious looking design; the Fenomeno Roadster represents the ‘feel like a pilot’ philosophy,” says Mitja Borkert, Design Director of Automobili Lamborghini.

Carbon, clever tyres and serious brakes

Underneath sits a carbon-fibre “monofuselage” structure related to the Revuelto, with Forged Composite elements used across key areas. Lamborghini says the Roadster keeps stiffness close to the Coupé, despite gaining only a few kilograms.

Braking comes from CCM-R Plus carbon-ceramic hardware, while Bridgestone has developed bespoke Potenza rubber in 21-inch front and 22-inch rear sizes. Semi-slick road-legal tyres will also be available for track use.

Subtle? Not even slightly. But with only 15 cars planned, subtle was never the brief.
