New Lamborghini Fenomeno Roadster Debuts With 1,080 CV Hybrid V12 Power

With a naturally aspirated V12 hybrid heart, and only 15 examples destined for the world is a roofless expression of speed, theatre, and outrageous engineering ambition built for those who believe subtlety is vastly overrated

There are supercars, there are hypercars, and then there are machines so absurdly excessive they make everything else look like a polite suggestion. The Lamborghini Fenomeno Roadster belongs firmly in that final category. It is loud, dramatic, outrageously fast, and so visually aggressive it looks like it might attack the parking lot on its own. Built in just 15 examples, this newest Few Off creation is Lamborghini reminding the world that when it comes to theatre on wheels, nobody does excess quite like Sant’Agata. It is the most powerful open-top Lamborghini ever built, and frankly, anything less would have been disappointing.

At the heart of the Fenomeno Roadster sits Lamborghini’s first open two-seater V12 hybrid High

A Roofless Monster

At the heart of the Fenomeno Roadster sits Lamborghini’s first open two-seater V12 hybrid High Performance Electrified Vehicle. That means a naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 paired with three electric motors and a 7 kWh lithium-ion battery. Combined output stands at a ridiculous 1080 CV, making it the most powerful open-top production Lamborghini ever created.

The V12 alone produces 835 CV at 9,250 rpm and 725 Nm of torque at 6,750 rpm, with a specific output of over 128 CV per litre, an internal benchmark for the brand. Two electric motors sit at the front while another is positioned above the eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox, handling torque vectoring, regenerative braking, and added electric assistance. The result is performance that feels less like acceleration and more like a violent rearrangement of physics. Zero to 100 km/h takes just 2.4 seconds, 200 km/h arrives in 6.8 seconds, and top speed exceeds 340 km/h.

Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO, Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. says, “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. Each example is conceived as a collectible masterpiece, where engineering excellence meets true bespoke craftsmanship,”

Removing the roof from a hypercar often ruins everything. It compromises rigidity

Aerodynamics Designed For Controlled Chaos

Removing the roof from a hypercar often ruins everything. It compromises rigidity, balance, airflow, and often turns something sharp into something soft. Lamborghini clearly took that as a personal insult. The Fenomeno Roadster gets a completely new aerodynamic package compared to the Coupé, carefully engineered to maintain identical levels of downforce, stability, and cooling performance. An additional spoiler mounted on the windshield directs airflow over the cockpit and channels it into the engine bay, ensuring the V12 receives proper cooling even without the Coupé’s air scoop.

The rollover protection bars are not just safety devices but aerodynamic components, integrated flat behind the seats and flowing seamlessly into the sculpted Speedster humps. Even at extreme speeds, turbulence and wind noise are kept under control, which is impressive considering this thing looks like it was designed by a man shouting.

The chassis is a technical masterpiece built around a full multi-technology carbon fibre

Carbon Fibre Everywhere

The chassis is a technical masterpiece built around a full multi-technology carbon fibre monocoque paired with a front structure made from Forged Composite®. Lamborghini calls it a monofuselage, an aerospace-inspired architecture also seen in the Revuelto. Instead of a conventional carbon monocoque, the entire front section integrates crash structures, the windshield frame, side skirts, rear bulkhead, and front frame into one ultra-light yet incredibly rigid structure. The Roadster achieves stiffness levels remarkably close to the Coupé with only a few extra kilograms added. This is also the first production Lamborghini to use this patented hybrid carbon fibre configuration, combining long and short fibres with a proprietary fluid mixture for greater rigidity and energy absorption.

The Fenomeno Roadster follows Lamborghini’s obsession with hexagonal

Design That Looks Like It Should Be Illegal

The Fenomeno Roadster follows Lamborghini’s obsession with hexagonal design language, from the LED lighting and air intakes to the wheel arches, side skirts, and engine framing itself. The front is low, wide, and deeply sculpted, with sharp lines and aggressive intakes that seem permanently angry. The side profile is ultra-flat, with sharply cut flanks and dramatic air channels feeding the V12. At the rear, a massive diffuser, active rear wing, and high-mounted hexagonal exhaust create a view that feels more spacecraft than automobile.

Its flat windshield features a lightweight carbon spoiler embossed with the Fenomeno Roadster logo, while the rear styling takes inspiration from the Essenza SCV12 and 1970s racing prototypes. Finished in Blu Cepheus with Rosso Mars lower-body accents, the colour scheme pays tribute to both the 1968 Miura Roadster and the red-and-blue identity of Bologna.

Inside, the Fenomeno Roadster follows Lamborghini’s “Feel Like a Pilot” philosophy

A Cockpit Built For Pilots, Not Passengers

Inside, the Fenomeno Roadster follows Lamborghini’s “Feel Like a Pilot” philosophy. Carbon fibre dominates the cabin, joined by Corsatex by Dinamica and patented Carbon Skin materials across the dashboard, cockpit, and seats. The contoured bucket seats feature contrasting red stitching and are designed to hold occupants in place during aggressive cornering rather than politely offering comfort. The “Pilot Interaction” system combines three digital displays, hexagonal graphics, aviation-inspired switches, and haptic controls to keep the driver fully focused on the road. It feels less like entering a car and more like preparing for launch.

Only 15 units of the Fenomeno Roadster will be built, continuing Lamborghini’s

Built For The Few

Only 15 units of the Fenomeno Roadster will be built, continuing Lamborghini’s exclusive Few Off lineage that began with the Reventon Roadster in 2009. It follows the Fenomeno Coupé introduced in 2025, but this open-top version feels like the more dramatic sibling—the one that turns up late, louder, and somehow steals all the attention. Because if you are going to build the most powerful open-top Lamborghini ever made, doing it quietly would be missing the point entirely.
