Limited edition in only 15 examples: the 6 million euro hybrid supercar
Lamborghini Fenomeno Roadster: the house of Sant'Agata unveils a few-off with open bodywork, V12 engine combined with three electric motors for a total of 1,080 hp.
Here is the new Lamborghini few-off: it is called the Fenomeno Roadster and is, of course, the en plein air variant of the Fenomeno 'fuoriserie' that appeared a year ago with a somewhat exaggerated and almost blustery name, but which on a limited edition Lamborghini also fits.
After all, Lambo's are excessive in performance, price, style and positioning. And the few-offs are even more so: after all, the Fenomeno coupé was offered in 29 examples at over 3 million euro while that of the new roadster even doubles: 6 million euro. It was also a wise move to boost the margins of the Italian Volkswagen/Audi group manufacturer.
Unveiled during the second edition of the Lamborghini Arena, the Fenomeno Roadster is part of a lineage of open supercars, a tradition that began in 2009 with the Reventón Roadster and has continued over the years with the likes of the Veneno, Centenario and Sián.The natural evolution of the coupé version is officially the most powerful open-top ever to leave the factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese thanks to a complex hybrid propulsion system.
Powering the Phenomenon Roadster is the legendary 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 engine. Capable of delivering 835 hp on its own at 9,250 rpm, this power unit works in harmony with three electric motors: two are positioned on the front axle to provide all-wheel drive and active torque distribution, while the third sits above the eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox.
The combination of these units generates a total output of 1,080 hp, a figure that enables performance previously unthinkable for an open-top road car.
