Lamborghini Fenomeno debuts as the firm's fastest car yet

Revuelto-based hybrid hypercar redefines Lamborghini performance benchmarks

Lamborghini Fenomeno sets fastest Lamborghini record with 1065bhp hybrid

The Fenomeno is a limited-run hybrid hypercar priced at £3 million. It sits on the Revuelto platform and uses the same plug-in hybrid setup as the 1001bhp model, but power climbs to 1065bhp thanks to a bigger 7kWh battery and a redesigned valvetrain. Despite the extra punch, the car weighs 1772 kg dry, delivering a power-to-weight ratio of 601 bhp per tonne, a Lamborghini record.

Performance figures place it at 0-62 mph in 2.4 seconds and 0-124 mph in 6.7 seconds, with a top speed of 218 mph. The electric range remains undisclosed. The Fenomeno retains the carbon-clad look and eight-speed transaxle of the Revuelto, while the larger battery is tuned for higher discharge. In the context of rivals, the car is pitched as a benchmark within Lamborghini’s Few Off lineage, a nod to the brand’s long history of extreme, track-focused cars.

Lamborghini is signaling a clear strategy: push extreme performance while preserving exclusivity. The Fenomeno doubles down on hybrid engineering as a badge of speed rather than efficiency, a move that keeps the brand in contention with Ferrari and Aston Martin in the hypercar spotlight. Yet the price tag and limited availability risk fostering a perception that hypercars are status symbols for a small circle, not practical machines for a wider audience. As luxury brands chase attention through record bets on power and pace, they also invite scrutiny about value and social impact in a changing market.

The model’s timing matters. With a growing focus on sustainability, even high-performance hybrids walk a fine line between performance bragging and practical responsibility. Lamborghini’s next questions will be about customer demand, service networks for ultra-rare cars, and how these machines age in a market where electrification is the norm rather than the exception.
