Lamborghini has officially shattered its own open-top performance records with the debut of the Lamborghini Fenomeno Roadster. Packing a staggering 1,065 horsepower, this limited-edition hypercar proves that the Italian automaker is using hybrid technology strictly to amplify raw, unadulterated speed rather than chase efficiency.
At the heart of the hypercar is a massive 6.5-liter V12 engine paired with three electric motors, forming a High Performance Electrified Vehicle (HPEV) powertrain. This aggressive setup launches the vehicle from 0 to 62 mph in a blistering 2.4 seconds, pushing toward a top speed exceeding 211 mph.
Fenomeno Roadster represents the purest expression of our brand values: visionary design, uncompromising performance, and absolute exclusivity. It is a unique interpretation of driving emotion, created for a select group of customers who seek something truly beyond convention.

To handle this immense power without a fixed roof, engineers significantly reworked the exterior aerodynamics. The carbon fiber chassis utilizes a mix of Forged Composite, blending long and short carbon fibers with a patented fluid mixture to achieve maximum stiffness. Specially designed carbon rollover protection bars maintain the coupe's downforce while actively reducing wind noise and cabin turbulence.
Track-Ready Hardware and Aviation-Inspired Cabin
The hypercar is equipped with a high-performance braking system featuring CCM-R Plus carbon-ceramic discs, manually adjustable racing shocks, and custom Bridgestone Potenza tires. These components ensure the vehicle remains planted during extreme track sessions while delivering precise feedback to the driver.
Inside, the Feel Like a Pilot design philosophy surrounds the driver with an aviation-inspired cockpit. The cabin is draped in high-tech, lightweight materials, including Lamborghini's patented Carbon Skin and Corsatex by Dinamica, blending bespoke craftsmanship with motorsport functionality.
The V12 Hybrid Era Is About Brute Force
Limited to just 15 units worldwide, the Fenomeno Roadster highlights a critical transition in the hypercar market. By integrating three electric motors with a massive 6.5L V12, Lamborghini is successfully weaponizing electrification to keep its signature engine configuration alive amidst tightening global emissions regulations.
This 1,065 hp setup demonstrates that the future of the V12 isn't extinction; it is evolution through hybrid assistance. It ensures that ultra-wealthy collectors still get the visceral acoustic experience of a naturally aspirated engine, now violently enhanced by the instant torque delivery of modern electric motors.
