Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. Lamborghini has lifted the covers off the Fenomeno, its most powerful V12 yet, at Monterey Car Week 2025 . This limited-run model celebrates the 20th anniversary of Lamborghini's Centro Stile. During a recent media interaction, we spoke to Stephan Winkelmann , President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, who shared insights on the car's design philosophy, performance, customer allocation, and more. Speaking ahead of the world premiere of Lamborghini's latest few-off creation at Monterey, Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO, revealed 'We are going to produce 29 units plus one (the zero car) for us. Pricing will be between 3 and 3.5 million euros.' He explained that Lamborghini's few-off projects began in 2007 as a way to 'test the validity and solidity of the brand' and have now become 'part of our lineup… without saying when and where we are going to present the car.' The latest machine, he said, will sprint from 0–100 kmph in 2.4 seconds and top 350 kmph, with a fully carbon-fibre body and 'extensive individualisation in colours and materials.'

The NA 6.5-litre unit produces 823 hp at 9,250 rpm, paired with three electric motors for a combined output of 1,064 hp . One of these motors is integrated into the new eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox, while two oil-cooled units on the front axle handle torque vectoring and regenerative braking. A lightweight 7 kWh battery allows for around 20 km of pure-electric driving. However, the focus here is on performance: the 0–100 kmph sprint takes just 2.4 seconds, 0–200 kmph is done in 6.7 seconds, and top speed exceeds 350 kmph.

It's about the single customers, and those are spread all over the globe.' implying that there won't be any targeted market for the 29 units. Winkelmann also spoke about the future of V12s as he said: 'It's key to maintain V12 as long as possible. At least to the year 2035. Maybe longer with synthetic fuel . It's a mix between legislation and opportunities like e-fuels that will help keep these engines alive.' On allocation, he explained, 'We have an allocation system which is very transparent. Together with our dealers, we are approaching those customers (Implying that dealers play a key role in identifying and approaching these top-tier clients first). Almost all the cars are already sold.' Addressing whether few-offs will take on a bigger role, Winkelmann said, 'It's for sure an add-on. It can't be the main focus, but it's part of positioning the brand and rewarding our most loyal customers.' He drew a clear line between few-offs and special editions: 'This car is not a special edition. A special edition is a car with some features in terms of colour or options but no changes in design. A few-off is top of the line, high investment, and very limited volumes. Discover everything about the automotive world at Times of India .
