For Lamborghini, The Quail is the holy grail of luxurious automotive occasions. The model historically makes use of this unique Monterey Automotive Week gathering to debut its newest halo fashions—and this yr is not any totally different. Enter: the Lamborghini Fenomeno.
Bathed in daylight, Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann strides confidently onto the stage. Every marque will get simply seven minutes to current its newest to the moneyed crowd, and never even Lamborghini is exempt. But the North Italian supercar maker hardly ever misses its second. The duvet is pulled again, revealing the wild, brilliant yellow Fenomeno crouched on the pristine white stage. Applause follows. The value? Over €3 million per automotive, all of them tailored.
Packing 1,080PS from a mix of a naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 and three electrical motors, the Fenomeno is the quickest and strongest Lamborghini ever constructed. Because of all-wheel drive and 725Nm of torque, 0–100 km/h is dispatched in simply 2.4 seconds. High pace? North of 350 km/h. “All 29 models we are going to construct have already been bought,” says Winkelmann proudly. He joined Lamborghini precisely 20 years in the past and has since overseen a metamorphosis—5 instances extra employees, and 7 instances extra automobiles constructed, all eagerly snapped up. The Revuelto, on which the Fenomeno is predicated, is bought out till the top of 2027.
The Fenomeno is the ninth mannequin in Lamborghini’s Few-Off collection, the place exclusivity is the core mission. “Once we launched the Reventón in 2007, the objective was to create a really extraordinary supercar—one which represented the last word expression of Lamborghini,” Winkelmann explains. “This new Few-Off continues that philosophy of uniqueness and innovation, which lies on the coronary heart of our DNA.”
Named after a victorious bull from the combating area, the Fenomeno delivers its colossal energy by way of a hybrid powertrain: an 835PS V12 that revs to 9,500rpm, and three electrical motors including an additional 245PS. Torque peaks at 725Nm at 6,750rpm, with 80% accessible from simply 3,500rpm. The combustion engine powers the rear wheels, whereas two 110kW motors feed the entrance axle, and a 3rd radial-flux motor sends further torque to the rear relying on the chosen drive mode. Whether or not in silent stealth or full-throttle fury, the Fenomeno provides electrical precision with old-school theatre. In contrast to the Revuelto, the Fenomeno incorporates a newly developed 7.0kWh battery, neatly built-in inside the central tunnel.
Braking comes courtesy of Lamborghini’s CCM-R Plus system, with carbon-ceramic discs tuned for each street and observe. However whereas the Fenomeno shares its fundamental structure with the Revuelto, its chassis is totally bespoke—borrowing elements from a future GT3 racing spinoff.
Damping is manually adjustable, not electronically managed, providing compression and rebound settings tailor-made to the motive force’s intent. It additionally incorporates a new suspension-to-tyre dimension ratio, operating 265/30 ZRF21 fronts and 355/25 ZRF22 rears.
But past the {hardware}, Lamborghini’s design group has made daring strides. “With the Fenomeno, we’re opening a brand new chapter in our unmistakable, forward-thinking design language,” says design chief Mitja Borkert. “It follows the identical genuine and extremely recognisable design ideas that started with the unique Countach LP500.” At 5.01 metres lengthy, the Fenomeno is each a design assertion and a brutal piece of rolling efficiency artwork.
