Lamborghini Fenomeno Roadster debuts as brand’s most powerful drop-top – Introduction


After unveiling the Fenomeno Coupe in August 2025, Lamborghini has taken the wraps off the Fenomeno Roadster. It develops an identical 1080hp as the coupe and is the first open-top model to have V12 PHEV power. Unlike the coupe that was limited to 29 units, the Fenomeno Roadster will see only 15 examples being made. It joins Lamborghini’s ‘Few Off’ series of vehicles after its coupe counterpart. 

  1. Windshield-mounted wing deflects air from the cabin to cool the engine.
  2. Powered by V12 engine paired to three electric motors with a total output of 1080hp.
  3. Does a 0-100kph sprint in 2.4 seconds, and over 340kph top speed.

Redesigned bits help it achieve the same downforce levels as its coupe version

Lamborghini Fenomeno Roadster debuts as brand’s most powerful drop-top – Introduction

The car unveiled by Lamborghini was finished in a ‘Blu Cepheus’ paint job, with ‘Rossa Mars’ accents, which is a tribute to the brand’s first ever open-top, the 1968 Miura Roadster, along with blue and red colours of Bologna. Lamborghini says it has redesigned several upper functional surfaces of the car with new aero-elements to achieve the same level of downforce and stability as the coupe, whilst ensuring optimal cooling of the engine and brakes. There’s a new flat windshield featuring a spoiler that redirects air from entering the cabin into the engine bay. Lending the front-end an aggressive look are striking LED headlamps, sharp lines and cuts, wide air intakes and hexagonal elements.

The side is flanked by well-defined lines and air intakes behind the doors, while a long tail line is reminiscent of the Essenza SCV12. Bespoke Bridgestone Potenza Sport semi-slick tyres were developed for the roadster, which have 21-inch rims at the front and 22-inch rims at the back. At the back,  the engine bay cover has a vertical red strip, and you get Lamborghini’s boomerang-shaped tail-lamps, a hexagonal exhaust high-mounted in the centre, an aero-optimised diffuser and an active wing for downforce and stability at high speeds.

Lamborghini says that the roadster’s chassis has achieved a similar level of stiffness and rigidity compared to the coupe, with only a few kilograms of additional weight. This was done by combining long and short fibres of carbon and a patented fluid mixture. These new readjustments to the chassis help not only in achieving performance targets but also in energy absorption in the event of a collision. The carmaker stated that this is the first time that this new patented technology has been used in this hybrid configuration on a production Lamborghini.

The Fenomeno Roadster gets an identical cabin layout to its coupe counterpart. It adopts the carmaker’s “Feel like a Pilot” design philosophy, which comprises fighter jet-inspired switchgear and design bits, and carbon fibre trim for the centre console and door panels to the bucket seats and 3D-printed air vents in the dashboard. The seats get contrast red stitching, and the carmaker mentions that it supports the occupants “even during the forces of extreme cornering.” Triple displays onboard include a 12.3-inch driver’s display, an 8.4-inch touchscreen and a 9.1-inch (estimated) passenger unit.

Lamborghini Fenomeno Roadster powertrain

Does a 0-100kph in 2.4 seconds and can achieve speeds upwards of 340kph

Powering the Fenomeno Roadster is a 6.5-litre naturally-aspirated V12 engine and 3 electric motors that also does duty in the coupe. Total power output is rated at 1080hp while gearshift duties are handled by an 8-speed DCT gearbox. A 7kWh battery pack on board provides power to the e-motors. Despite the additional weight, Lamborghini says that the roadster can do an identical 2.4 seconds from 0-100kph like the Coupe. It takes 6.8 seconds from 0-200kph and can achieve top speeds of over 340kph.
