Lamborghini Fenomeno unveiled as 1,065hp ultra-exclusive V12 hybrid
LAMBORGHINI has unveiled its latest 'few-off' masterpiece, the Fenomeno, an ultra-rare creation that pushes the brand's obsession with drama and performance to new heights. Developed from the V12-powered Revuelto, it carries over the hybrid powertrain yet wears a completely reimagined body that ensures it stands apart even in the company of Sant'Agata's most outrageous models. Visually, the Fenomeno embodies everything expected from the Raging Bull: wild proportions, razor-edged lines and an aggressive stance that suggests it was designed with no consideration for subtlety. While it falls just short of the sheer extremity of the Veneno, its unique surfacing and detailing make it instantly recognisable as a Lamborghini while sharing very little visually with the Revuelto. At the front, angular headlamps flank a vented bonnet housing two large air extraction outlets. A bespoke bumper, complete with a colour-matched stripe running along the splitter, adds an extra layer of theatricality. The profile is equally purposeful, with every panel reworked and a pair of substantial air intakes positioned behind the doors. The car sits extremely low, with its wheels neatly filling the arches, giving the impression of a race car adapted for the road. The rear treatment is dominated by carbon fibre, from the bespoke engine cover to the reshaped rear fascia. Distinctive Y-shaped LED tail-lamps frame a set of quad, centrally-mounted exhaust outlets that leave no doubt about the car's performance intent. Beneath the dramatic skin, the Fenomeno retains the Revuelto's core V12 hybrid setup but with notable enhancements. The 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 has been recalibrated to deliver 833hp, compared to 814hp in the standard car. Paired with a larger 7 kWh lithium-ion battery for greater electric assistance, the combined output rises to 1,065hp – an increase of 64hp over the Revuelto. The uprated battery also extends the electric-only driving range to 20 km. These improvements shave a tenth off the 0–100 km/h sprint, which now takes just 2.4 seconds, while the top speed remains an eye-watering 350 km/h. Inside, the Fenomeno mirrors much of its donor car's cabin architecture, carrying over the same steering wheel, floating central display, digital driver's cluster and passenger-side screen. Lamborghini has made no substantial changes to the interior, which remains focused on delivering a high-tech and driver-centric experience rather than introducing novelty for its own sake. Only 29 examples of the Fenomeno will be built, each priced from approximately €3 million (RM15.5 m). Ownership will be reserved for a very select clientele, making this latest V12 hybrid not only one of Lamborghini's most potent creations but also one of its rarest.

Both men, of Birmingham, have been charged with three criminal offences including money laundering, encouraging money laundering and contravening a requirement to apply customer due diligence measures when establishing a business relationship. The offences are alleged to have unfolded between February 18, 2020, and January 8, 2021. A spokesperson from the NCA said: "A solicitor and an accountant have been charged with money laundering offences following a National Crime Agency investigation. "Solicitor Akhmed Yakoob, 37, and accountant Nabeel Afzal, 38, will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 17 June to each face three criminal charges. "Yakoob, of Perry Barr, and Azfal, of Edgbaston, both Birmingham, are accused of money laundering; encouraging money laundering; and contravening a requirement to apply customer due diligence measures when establishing a business relationship. "The offences are alleged to have been committed between 18 February 2020 and 08 January 2021." Yakoob previously made headlines when he defended two brothers at the centre of the Manchester Airport brawl in July 2024, which ended with a policeman being filmed kicking one of the siblings. He then withdrew defending the pair after claiming the media had "made the situation about me rather than police brutality and police misconduct". The father of four also came into the spotlight earlier last year when he stood for mayor of the West Midlands on a pro-Palestine platform. He secured over 69,000 votes, coming in second to Labour's Shabna Mahmood while also being endorsed by George Galloway. The lawyer carried out the vast majority of his campaign via TikTok, where he has more than 200,000 followers. Yakoob previously told The Sun how he left school aged 15 after growing up on a council estate in a crime-riddled Birmingham suburb. He got into Wolverhampton for his Bachelor of Laws degree, where he got a 2:2. The social media influencer, who posts videos about his criminal clients to his 106,000 TikTok following, now flaunts his wealth online. He owns two Lamborghinis, a Mercedes Benz G-Class, a Ferrari F8 and was in the process of buying a Rolls Royce. He says his car collection is worth £1million. Yakoob bought out his boss at Maurice Andrews Solicitors for £150,000 aged just 28. And he used TikTok to double his clients, becoming the "go to" criminal defence lawyer in the Midlands, he claims. 7 Yakoob bought out his boss at Maurice Andrews Solicitors for £150,000 aged just 28 Credit: Instagram 7 The father of four came into the spotlight earlier last year when he stood for mayor of the West Midlands on a pro-Palestine platform Credit: Getty
