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.
