Lamborghini revealed the Fenomeno Roadster, the most powerful open-top model in the brand's history, at the Lamborghini Arena event in Imola on May 9, 2026. Built on the Revuelto platform, the open-air Few-Off uses a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 paired with three electric motors for a combined 1,080 cv (1,065 hp), accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.4 seconds, and tops 340 km/h. Production is limited to 15 examples worldwide at an estimated €5 million each — every unit was allocated before the public reveal.

Rarer Than The Coupé

The Fenomeno Roadster follows the Fenomeno Coupé that Lamborghini presented at Monterey Car Week 2025, but the production count has been cut almost in half. The Coupé was built in 29 units to mark the 20th anniversary of the Centro Stile design department; the Roadster is limited to just 15 units worldwide and is reserved for Lamborghini's most established Few-Off clientele. Pricing climbs from the Coupé's roughly €3 million to an estimated €5 million for the open car, and one example is reportedly already destined for Australia despite being left-hand-drive only.

The Most Powerful V12 Lamborghini Has Built

At the heart of the Fenomeno Roadster is the same powertrain that the Coupé introduced — but it remains the most powerful V12 ever built by Lamborghini. The 6,498 cc 60-degree V12 is naturally aspirated, dry-sumped, and revs to 9,500 rpm. On its own, the engine produces 835 cv at 9,250 rpm and 725 Nm at 6,750 rpm, working out to 128 cv per litre — a historic specific-output record for the brand. An eight-speed dual-clutch transaxle sits at the rear, with one of the three electric motors mounted directly above it.

The two front axial-flux electric motors deliver torque vectoring across the front axle and provide the all-wheel-drive capability. A 7 kWh lithium-ion battery is housed inside the central tunnel and supports a 20 km pure-electric range for low-speed zones. Combined system output reaches 795 kW (1,080 cv / 1,065 hp) with 1,075 Nm of torque — figures that make this the most powerful Lamborghini Roadster ever produced and one of the highest-output naturally aspirated hybrid powertrains in series production today.

Design — A Tribute to the 1968 Miura Roadster

The Roadster's signature Blu Cepheus body colour with Rosso Mars accent recalls the brand's first-ever open Lamborghini, the 1968 Miura Roadster, while explicitly nodding to the colours of Bologna. The design team at Centro Stile, the same department that just celebrated its 20th anniversary with the Coupé, retained the Y-shaped front and rear lighting signature, the hexagonal mesh grille work and the stacked rear diffuser. What changes is the silhouette — the fixed roof, glass canopy and rear flying buttresses of the Coupé have been replaced with a permanent open-top configuration, large twin roll hoops and an unusual rear-flank glass treatment that has drawn attention for being the most extreme on any current series Lamborghini.

Interior — Carbon, Leather, and Ad Personam

Inside, the Fenomeno Roadster carries the same dual-cockpit layout as the Coupé, with the central console rising to divide the two seats. The seats themselves are sport-bucket items finished in a contrasting two-tone scheme — the production reference photographs show Rosso Mars leather backings and Blu Cepheus side bolsters, with Lamborghini Y-graphic stitching across the headrests. The dashboard, transmission tunnel and steering-wheel armature are exposed forged carbon fibre, with brushed aluminium switchgear and a 12.3-inch driver display fed by the same Sensonum sound system found in the Revuelto.

Every Fenomeno Roadster client has access to the Lamborghini Ad Personam programme, which extends to a palette of more than 400 exterior colours and a virtually unlimited range of interior trim materials — defined in person at the Ad Personam studio in Sant'Agata Bolognese.

The Few-Off Tradition

Lamborghini's Few-Off line is the brand's narrowest production tier, sitting above the regular range and even above the One-Off projects in volume terms. Past Few-Off models include the Reventón (2007, 21 units), the Veneno (2013, 14 units), the Centenario (2016, 40 units) and the Sián FKP 37 (2019, 63 units). Where those vehicles served as styling and technology showcases, the Fenomeno is the first Few-Off in the High Performance Electrified Vehicle (HPEV) era — and the Roadster, in particular, is being used to road-test how Lamborghini's electrified V12 architecture behaves in a permanent open-top format ahead of the next-generation Aventador successor lineage.

Significance

At a time when most manufacturers in the segment have moved to forced induction, the Fenomeno Roadster confirms that Lamborghini intends to keep the naturally aspirated V12 alive within an electrified architecture for as long as physically possible. The Roadster's 1,065 hp combined output, 2.4-second 0–100 km/h time and over-340 km/h top speed make it the most powerful, fastest and most expensive open-top car the brand has ever produced — and with the run already sold out, every Fenomeno Roadster delivered in the next twelve months will become an immediate collector's piece.
