Lamborghini Veneno debuts as the most powerful V12 engine ever

Updated 07:35 PM,Aug 20,2025

Lamborghini unveiled its latest limited-production hypercar, the Fenomeno, during the 2025 Monterey Car Week. With only 29 units worldwide, the Fenomeno represents the brand’s most recent design statement, blending Lamborghini’s iconic DNA with advanced technology and a touch of electrification.

New Design Statement

The Fenomeno celebrates the 20th anniversary of Lamborghini Centro Stile, the company’s in-house design studio. The car features long, futuristic rear lines, a distinctive Y-shaped lighting signature, and aerodynamic elements inspired by racing machines.

The front boasts dual air intakes inspired by the Huracán GT3, while the sides draw styling cues from the Essenza SCV12. The rear is dominated by integrated carbon fiber air diffusers, vertical Y-shaped lights, and a moving rear wing with an “omega” design.

The first version was delivered in Giallo Crius (yellow)** with exposed carbon fiber accents highlighting the car’s muscular design and aerodynamic efficiency.

Powertrain: The Most Powerful V12 in Lamborghini’s History

The Fenomeno is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine**, producing 835 horsepower at 9,250 rpm**, enhanced by three electric motors—two on the front axle and one integrated into the gearbox. This delivers a total output of 1,080 horsepower.

  • 0-100 km/h: 2.4 seconds

  • 0-200 km/h: 6.7 seconds

  • Top speed: Over 350 km/h

  • Power-to-weight ratio: 1.64 kg/horsepower (the best in Lamborghini’s history)

Power is sent through an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission mounted transversely to optimize weight distribution.

Racing-Inspired Technologies

The Fenomeno introduces several firsts for Lamborghini:

  • 6D sensor and Vehicle Estimation System (IVE): Predicts and adapts dynamics with high precision in real time.

  • CCM-R Plus carbon-ceramic brakes: Inspired by endurance racing, ensuring exceptional stopping power.

  • Single-bolt wheels paired with custom Bridgestone Potenza Sport tires**, available in road-focused and semi-race track versions.

It also features manually adjustable race-inspired suspension systems, along with a S-Duct system** and a curved roof to direct airflow efficiently, resulting in 30% more efficient cooling.

Interior: "A Pilot's Feel"

Inside, the Fenomeno follows Lamborghini’s philosophy of "a pilot's feel", featuring lightweight carbon fiber racing seats, a race-style steering wheel, and three digital displays. Most traditional buttons have been removed to emphasize driver focus and minimalism.

Materials include composite carbon fiber, 3D-printed air vents, and extensive Alcantara upholstery**. Ambient lighting adds a "spacecraft-like" ambiance to the cabin.

Through the Ad Personam program**, customers can choose from over 400 exterior colors** and nearly limitless interior customization options.

Legacy of Limited-Lot Lamborghinis

The Fenomeno continues Lamborghini’s tradition of ultra-limited editions, following models such as Reventón (2007), Sesto Elemento (2010), Veneno (2013), Centenario (2016), Sián (2019), and Countach LPI 800-4 (2021).

The name "Fenomeno" draws inspiration from a legendary bull spared in Morlia, Mexico, in 2002, celebrated for its extraordinary qualities.
