Lamborghini presents Fenomeno at Monterey Car Week
Automobili Lamborghini unveiled the Fenomeno1 recently at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering. The Fenomeno takes the company's most representative design elements to the extreme. It also pays tribute to Lamborghini's tradition of limited-edition models that began in 2007 with the Reventón. This is one of 29 units planned for production. Other limited-edition offerings include Sesto Elemento (2010), Veneno (2013), Centenario (2016), Sián (2019), and Countach LPI 800-4 (2021). Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Automobili Lamborghini said: 'The Fenomeno introduces the most advanced technical solutions in our history, pushing the boundaries of performance and design. It also honours the values and achievements that are a fundamental part of our DNA. 'Unveiling the Fenomeno at The Quail, a prestigious celebration of automotive excellence in our largest global market, offers the perfect setting for our customers to experience this limited-edition masterpiece up close.' Delivering a total output of 805kW, most of that from the naturally aspirated V12 engine and 180kW from three electric motors, the combination enhances driving dynamics and performance. The Fenomeno can evidently accelerate from zero to 100km/h in 2.4sec while top speed is said to exceed 350km/h. Its agility is supported by central locking forged rims and specially developed track-oriented Bridgestone tyres. Fenomeno takes its name from a renowned Mexican bull. If it sounds suspiciously close to 'phenomenal' that's because it means precisely that in Italian and Spanish. Also present at the event were the flagship Revuelto2 and the successor to the Huracán, the Temerario3. Both of these also sport hybrid systems, their combined outputs reach just over and just under 1000hp, respectively. For more information on the Fenomeno see here.

Lamborghini Fenomeno Limited Edition Supercar Breaks Cover
Lamborghini unveiled the limited-edition Fenomeno supercar during Monterey Car Week 2025. The Italian marque claims Fenomeno features the most powerful V12 engine in its history. As the latest in Lamborghini's line of exclusive models, Fenomeno follows the tradition set by the Reventon, with successors including the Sesto Elemento (2010), Veneno (2013), Centenario (2016), Sian (2019), and Countach (2021). The name "Fenomeno," in keeping with Lamborghini's naming heritage, honors a brave and renowned bull that fought in Morelia, Mexico, in 2002. The limited-edition Lamborghini Fenomeno is available in 30 units, with 29 units allocated to customers. The Lamborghini Fenomeno features a 6.5-liter NA V12 engine, also seen on the Lamborghini Revuelto, and is mated with a dual-clutch eight-speed gearbox. However, the brand claims that the Fenemeno features the most powerful V12 by the brand. The total power output is 1,065 hp, with a record 823 hp provided by the naturally aspirated V12 engine and a further 242 hp developed by the three electric motors. Lamborghini Fenomeno These features also attribute the Lamborghini Fenomeno as the fastest Lamborghini ever, both in the 0-100 km/h sprint, which it achieves in an extraordinary 2.4 seconds, and in the 0-200 km/h sprint, completed in just 6.7 seconds. It boasts a top speed of 350 km/h. Talking about the design and exterior, the Lamborghini Fenomeno has an aeronautics-inspired chassis, with a monocoque made entirely of multi-technology carbon fiber, has a front structure in forged composite, a special material made of short carbon fiber soaked in resin. The supercar gets a CCM-R Plus brake system with carbon-ceramic discs for exceptional braking on track and roads. The single-nut forged rims contribute to delivering exceptional agility, while the special track-oriented tires custom-engineered by Bridgestone offer outstanding grip. Completing the Fenomeno is a sport-tuned suspension, making the Fenomeno extremely precise and stable during sports driving.

Lamborghini Pushes Gas Power To New Limits With Spaceship-Inspired Car
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Gasoline-powered Italian burbles will not go quietly into the night. Lamborghini showed off its engineering prowess and its commitment to fossil fuel use with the debut of its Fenomeno at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering today. The new car follows in the footsteps of other heralded models including Sesto Elemento (2010), Veneno (2013), Centenario (2016), Sián (2019) and Countach (2021). The Countach was first revealed at The Quail. "When we presented the Reventón in 2007, our goal was to create a truly superlative super sports car that represented the ultimate expression of what Lamborghini stood for," Stephan Winkelmann, chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini, said in a press release. "This new few-off carries forward the same philosophy of distinction and innovation that is a fundamental part of our DNA." Fenomeno is a limited-edition sports car that combines the company's V12 engine with three electric motors to deliver a total of 1,065 horsepower, 824 of which is provided mechanically. Just 29 will be sold and it sold out before it debuted. It is the first car designed entirely by the Italian brand's new Sant'Agata Bolognese design department in north-central Italy. The car's name stems from a famous bull that fought in Morelia, Mexico, in 2002, in keeping with Lamborghini tradition. Also, in Spanish and Italian, "fenomeno" means phenomenal. Technical innovation in Fenomeno is matched with the car's power. A driver can utilize a 6D sensor that measures the car's dynamics and uses an algorithm to adapt vehicle systems accordingly, and carbon-ceramic brakes to take advantage of the model's full prowess. The car's engine is housed within its monofuselage, Lamborghini's term for its aeronautics-inspired chassis. Its monocoque is made entirely of carbon fiber, a material that Lamborghini recycles and upcycles throughout the creation cycle. Fenomeno's front structure is made of a forged composite that is created using short carbon fibers soaked in resin. "With the Fenomeno we are setting a new, authentic and brave course for our future-oriented design language," Director of Design Mitja Borkert, said in a press release. "We have created a hyper-elegant design piece that is as refined and sophisticated as it is both athletic and essential. It is an unexpectedly elegant spaceship, made entirely from carbon fiber while remaining true to our heritage. Fenomeno plays the music of our unique design DNA but with a different tonality and rhythm, creating another stunning legend that exceeds the highest expectations of our customers and collectors." Along with bold design language, the Fenomeno is the first Lamborghini to wear the company's fresh logo design, which debuted last year. The expected price for the Fenomeno is around $3.5 million before customizations.

Lamborghini wants to vroom ahead in its limited-edition hybrid Fenomeno
Italian luxury marque Automobili Lamborghini has introduced its most powerful V12 yet with the launch of the Fenomeno, a few-off limited edition PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) supercar. The company said the adoption of a hybrid drivetrain was aimed at enhancing driving pleasure rather than following industry trends. 'We didn't do hybrid because everyone else is doing it; we did it when it could offer more driving pleasure,' Matteo Ortenzi, Revuelto Product Line Director told ETAuto during a media interaction. He added that the move coincided with the availability of technology that could deliver performance gains without diluting the brand's core identity. Revealed at the Monterey Car Week 2025, the Fenomeno is a limited edition of 29 units which are already sold out. It is paired with a 6.5-litre V12 engine with three electric motors to produce a combined 1,080 CV — 835 CV from the V12 and 245 CV from the electric units. It can sprint from 0-100 km/h in 2.4 seconds, reach 200 km/h in 6.7 seconds and has a top speed of over 350 km/h. Its dry weight-to-power ratio stands at 1.64 kg/CV. ETAuto earlier reported how Lamborghini is moving ahead with hybrid powertrains as electrification is coming at a slower pace than expected. However, the company plans to launch its upcoming electric vehicle models as per the schedule. Aligning with company's strategy Lamborghini said the new hybrid system, combined with a high-revving combustion engine, is designed to ensure electrification complements rather than compromises its trademark driving experience. The system features two axial-flow electric motors on the front axle for torque vectoring and regenerative braking, and a third integrated into the eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox to deliver rear-axle torque and support all-electric driving. It comes with a 7 kWh lithium-ion battery that is positioned centrally in the chassis. Described as a 'design manifesto', the Fenomeno sports a longtail profile, clean lines and advanced aerodynamics, including an S-Duct system, a mobile rear wing with an 'omega' design and more than 30 per cent more efficient side cooling compared to production V12 models. It also debuts the new Lamborghini logo unveiled in 2024. The model continues the brand's tradition of limited-run cars such as the Reventón, Sesto Elemento, Veneno, Centenario, Sián and Countach, with deliveries restricted to select clients. In 2024, the italian brand sold a record 113 units in India, a 10 per cent growth compared to 2023.

Mamma Mia! This Might Be a Street-Legal Lamborghini Sesto Elemento
Remember the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento? How could you forget? Introduced in 2010, the ultra-limited, Gallardo-based hypercar packed a 5.2-liter V-10 tuned to 562 horsepower, and had carbon-fiber-everything—the chassis, the body, the driveshaft, even the wheels. With all that carbon fiber work, plus no stereo or air conditioning, the Sesto Elemento weighed just 2,202 pounds (or 999 kilograms). Unfortunately, that meant it wasn't street-legal—not that any of the 20 very lucky owners were likely to take their multi-million-dollar hypercar to the grocery store. But at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed, Lanzante—the British tuning shop known for making track cars street legal—may have quietly introduced a street-legal version of the iconic Sesto Elemento. And we're obsessed. Admittedly, there aren't a lot of details on this car (yet). We've reached out to Lanzante in hopes of securing some official info. But a video from the user on TikTok shows the Sesto Elemento driving on public roads in the UK with the caption "Road legal Sesto Elemento." And it does have a real , actual license plate. The car, admittedly, doesn't look all that different from the track-only version introduced in 2020. But we can imagine there are a few hidden modifications under all that carbon that make this Sesto Elemento road-legal, at least in the UK. A second video posted to the Goodwood Festival of Speed's social channels confirms that this car, indeed, does come from Lanzante. The Sesto Elemento in question made a run up the Goodwood Hillclimb late yesterday. As mentioned, we've reached out to Lanzante to confirm that this is indeed the real deal. If this Sesto Elemento is indeed street-legal, it would be a world's first.
