Lamborghini’s fastest and most powerful road car is the newly unveiled plug-in hybrid Lamborghini Fenomeno, and it looks absolutely incredible.
The Lamborghini Fenomeno was revealed at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering during 2025 Monterey Car Week.
The car is fitted with the most powerful V12 engine Lamborghini has ever produced, paired with three electric motors.
It also has the best weight-to-power ratio in Lamborghini’s history.

Lamborghini’s fastest and most powerful road car yet
The Lamborghini Fenomeno is based on the V12-powered Revuelto, Lambo’s first plug-in hybrid.
But it’s been cranked up several notches.
The naturally-aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine is combined with three electric motors, one of which is integrated within the new eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox.
The result? A whopping 1,065 horsepower and a 0-100km/h time of just 2.4 seconds.
In other words, it’s Lamborghini’s fastest and most powerful road car yet.
Of course, as you’d expect from Lamborghini, the Fenomeno is also a real head turner with an elegant, long-tail-proportioned design and streamlined, clean lines.
Inside, the driver is made to ‘feel like a pilot’ with most of the physical buttons removed in favor of a minimalist three-screen setup that allows the driver to ‘concentrate fully on the road or track’.
Customers can also take advantage of a wide range of customization and personalization options.
“With the Fenomeno, Lamborghini once again presents an incomparable super sports car in a limited edition,” Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann said.
“The combination of the most powerful V-12 in our history, breathtaking design, superior aerodynamics, and cutting-edge technologies such as extreme lightweight construction makes the Fenomeno the most extraordinary super sports car of our time.”
To keep it exclusive, Lamborghini’s fastest and most powerful road car will be made in a strictly limited run of just 29 units.
Lamborghini has confirmed its V12 engines aren’t going anywhere
The unveiling of the stunning Lamborghini Fenomeno comes as the marque confirmed that it will be keeping its V12 engines in production beyond 2030.
It had previously been believed that Lamborghini would phase out the V12, as it announced its first-ever EV slated for production in 2030.
However, the marque has since pushed back plans on an all-electric and even admitted that its first-ever EV might not end up being an EV at all.
This week, Lamborghini product line director Matteo Ortenzi confirmed the company is planning on keeping its V12 engine through to 2030 and beyond.
“The horizon for us is even more than 2030 now,” he told Motor1.
“It’s part of the character of [the Revuelto], we like the responsiveness of the engine, it’s a signature for us, so we don’t want to change it.”
