Lamborghini has pulled the covers off the Fenomeno<\/a> Roadster, a roofless, ultra-limited V12 hybrid created for buyers who think a Revuelto<\/a> is a little too common.<\/p>\n

Just 15 examples will be built, making this one of Sant\u2019Agata\u2019s rarest Few-Off models. It also claims a fairly wild title: the most powerful open-top Lamborghini yet, with a combined 794kW from its electrified 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 powertrain.<\/p>\n

No roof, no shortage of speed<\/p>\n

Lamborghini says the Fenomeno Roadster will hit 100km\/h in 2.4 seconds, reach 200km\/h in 6.8 seconds and push beyond 340km\/h at full noise.<\/p>\n

The V12 alone produces 614kW at 9250rpm and 725Nm at 6750rpm. It is paired with three electric motors: two up front and one mounted above the eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox. A 7kWh lithium-ion battery also allows fully electric driving, although Lamborghini has not disclosed electric-only range yet.<\/p>\n

\u201cFenomeno Roadster represents the purest expression of our brand values: visionary design, uncompromising performance, and absolute exclusivity,\u201d says Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a unique interpretation of driving emotion, created for a select group of customers who seek something truly beyond convention. Each example is conceived as a collectible masterpiece, where engineering excellence meets true bespoke craftsmanship.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aero gets the roofless treatment<\/p>\n

\"Lamborghini<\/p>\n

Lamborghini has not simply chopped the top off the Fenomeno Coup\u00e9. The Roadster gets a fresh aerodynamic package, including a new windscreen spoiler that guides air over the cockpit and into the engine bay.<\/p>\n

The rollover protection bars are carbon-fibre items, shaped to reduce buffeting while blending into the speedster-style rear humps.<\/p>\n

\"Lamborghini<\/p>\n

There is plenty of theatre, too: hexagonal lighting details, a high-mounted exhaust, active rear aero and a visible V12 framed like mechanical jewellery.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the Fenomeno Roadster, we are continuing the dream of many Lamborghini enthusiasts. It\u2019s an exclusive and precious looking design; the Fenomeno Roadster represents the \u2018feel like a pilot\u2019 philosophy,\u201d says Mitja Borkert, Design Director of Automobili Lamborghini.<\/p>\n

Carbon, clever tyres and serious brakes<\/p>\n

\"Lamborghini<\/p>\n

Underneath sits a carbon-fibre \u201cmonofuselage\u201d structure related to the Revuelto, with Forged Composite elements used across key areas. Lamborghini says the Roadster keeps stiffness close to the Coup\u00e9, despite gaining only a few kilograms.<\/p>\n

Braking comes from CCM-R Plus carbon-ceramic hardware, while Bridgestone has developed bespoke Potenza rubber in 21-inch front and 22-inch rear sizes. Semi-slick road-legal tyres will also be available for track use.<\/p>\n

Subtle? Not even slightly. But with only 15 cars planned, subtle was never the brief.<\/p>\n
