Lamborghini has pushed boundaries with each previous vehicle in the series (including the
Reventón, Sesto Elemento, Veneno, Centenario, Sián, and Countach). The Fenomeno continues
the tradition with lightweight construction and record-breaking gasoline-electric hybrid power.
While some may attempt to dismiss hybridization as a departure from driving excitement and the
driver’s analog connection with an automobile, Lamborghini focused its efforts on ensuring that the
passion and emotion didn’t get lost—they are amplified.

The front view of the Lamborghini Fenomeno

Mid-mounted in the chassis is the most powerful V12 engine in Lamborghini’s history. Three electric
motors complement the massive gasoline-fed naturally-aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine—two are
tasked with driving the front axle, while the third radial flux electric motor is positioned above the
gearbox, to provide power to the rear wheels. The V12 revs to an astronomical 9,500 rpm and is
rated at 823 hp. The electric motors add 242 horsepower—and gobs of low-end torque. Combined,
total system output is 1,065 hp, which will deliver a manufacturer-claimed 0-60 mph sprint in 2.4
seconds towards a top speed more than 217 mph (most industry insiders believe those numbers
are conservative).

Lamborghini has refined the Fenomeno’s aerodynamics to maximize efficiency, performance, and
stability at high speeds to allow the driver to push the vehicle to its limits. The front splitter
incorporates two air curtains that direct the air parallel to the wheels, reducing drag (and feeding
cooling air to the radiators). An S-Duct system, installed on the front of the vehicle, increases the
front aerodynamic load to ensure perfect vehicle dynamics during sports driving. A special ‘omega’
design on the rear wing further maximizes vehicle stability at high speeds. Even the newly sculpted
door design plays a part—it directs airflow towards the large air intakes on the sides (the result is
over 30 percent more efficient side-cooling compared to a series production Lamborghini V12).
