Key Takeaways

Key Takeaways

  • Lamborghini launches 1,065-horsepower Fenomeno Roadster limited to just 15 worldwide units
  • Hybrid V12 roadster matches coupe’s 2.4-second 0-62 mph acceleration despite roof removal
  • Active aerodynamics and redesigned windshield maintain downforce levels identical to fixed-roof version

Lamborghini just dropped the most powerful open-top vehicle in its history. The Fenomeno Roadster delivers 1,065 horsepower from a hybrid V12 powertrain, limited to exactly 15 units worldwide. This isn’t just another convertible—it’s the culmination of everything Lamborghini learned about aerodynamics, electrification, and the art of making rich people feel special.

The naturally-aspirated 6.5-liter V12 alone produces 835 horsepower at a screaming 9,250 rpm, achieving over 128 horsepower per liter—a historic best for the brand. Three electric motors add another 241 horsepower, creating a combined output that puts most supercars to shame.

Engineering the Impossible

Matching coupe performance without a roof requires serious aerodynamic wizardry.

Removing the roof typically murders a supercar’s aerodynamics, but Lamborghini’s engineers refused to accept compromise. They redesigned the windshield frame with an integrated carbon spoiler that deflects airflow over the cabin and into the engine bay. Twin buttresses replace the coupe’s roof-mounted air intake while providing rollover protection.

The active rear wing and redesigned diffuser maintain downforce levels identical to the fixed-roof version. The result? A 0-62 mph sprint in 2.4 seconds—matching the coupe exactly. The open-top configuration costs just 0.1 seconds to 124 mph, with the roadster maxing out at 211 mph.

The naturally-aspirated V12 produces 835 horsepower at 9,250 rpm while three electric motors contribute 241 horsepower for a total of 1,065 horsepower. Acceleration from 0-62 mph takes 2.4 seconds, matching the coupe precisely. Custom Bridgestone Potenza Sport semi-slick tires provide the grip needed to harness this power.

Rarity Meets Heritage

Fifteen units make this more exclusive than most museum pieces.

The Fenomeno Roadster joins Lamborghini’s prestigious “Few-Off” series, which includes the 2009 Reventón Roadster and 2022 Countach homage. At 15 units, it’s nearly twice as rare as its 29-unit coupe sibling. The debut model wears Blu Cepheus paint with Rossa Mars accents—a direct homage to the 1968 Miura Roadster and the colors of Bologna, where Lamborghini calls home.

This represents “Lamborghini’s first V12 hybrid high-performance electrified vehicle offered in an open-top configuration,” according to the company. Translation: it’s the bridge between the naturally-aspirated era and electrified future, wrapped in carbon fiber and limited to people who collect seven-figure toys.

With the Revuelto starting at $608,358, the Fenomeno Roadster will likely command well over $1 million. For collectors, this might be the last naturally-aspirated V12 roadster Lamborghini ever builds.
