Lamborghini Unveils the Most Powerful Roadster in Brand History

Lamborghini’s newest open-top hypercar delivers 1,080 horsepower and extreme exclusivity in just 15 examples worldwide.

Lamborghini continues expanding its ultra-exclusive Few-Off lineup with another dramatic limited-production supercar. Last August, the Italian automaker revealed the Lamborghini Fenomeno, a radical coupe based on the hybrid Revuelto flagship. Now the company has introduced an even wilder version — the new Fenomeno Roadster.

Interestingly, the standard Lamborghini Revuelto, which debuted in 2023, still hasn’t received an official factory convertible variant. That makes the Fenomeno Roadster the first open-top interpretation of Lamborghini’s latest V12 hybrid platform.

Open-Air Design With Retro Inspiration

Visually, the Fenomeno Roadster closely follows the styling of the coupe.

The hypercar keeps its sharp wedge-shaped silhouette, aggressive aerodynamic package, and dramatic Y-shaped rear lighting. But Lamborghini engineers made several major changes to transform the car into a roofless machine.

The fixed roof is gone entirely, replaced by a redesigned wind deflector above the windshield, large carbon-fiber rollover hoops behind the seats, specially shaped side windows, and a revised engine cover packed with extra cooling vents.

The Roadster also debuts in a unique tri-color finish. Its primary shade, Blu Cepheus, pays tribute to the one-off 1968 Lamborghini Miura Roadster. The blue-and-red color combination also references the traditional colors of Bologna, Italy.

Cabin Stays Focused on Performance

Inside, the Fenomeno Roadster carries over most of the interior layout from the coupe introduced last year.

The cockpit features a triple-screen dashboard trimmed in carbon fiber and Alcantara, along with a sporty steering wheel loaded with physical controls. Lamborghini also uses 3D-printed air vents and aggressive bucket seats with heavy side bolstering.

Compared to the extroverted exterior, the interior color scheme is more restrained, featuring mostly black surfaces with red accents and signature Y-shaped trim patterns. Buyers can still fully customize the cabin through Lamborghini’s personalization program.

Race-Car Hardware Underneath

The Fenomeno Roadster rides on a modified carbon-fiber monocoque derived from the Revuelto.

Lamborghini fitted the car with manually adjustable racing dampers and upgraded CCM-R Plus carbon-ceramic brakes. The suspension system can also adapt to changing road conditions using an advanced 6D sensor that constantly feeds movement data into the onboard computer.

Standard tires are Bridgestone Potenza Sport semi-slicks measuring 21 inches up front and 22 inches in the rear. Buyers can optionally equip run-flat tires as well.

Hybrid V12 Produces 1,080 Horsepower

Power comes from a four-motor plug-in hybrid system centered around Lamborghini’s naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12.

The engine alone produces 835 horsepower at 9,250 rpm and 535 lb-ft of torque at 6,750 rpm. It’s paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission featuring an integrated electric motor that also functions as a starter-generator.

That setup powers the rear wheels, while two additional electric motors operate independently at the front axle.

Electricity comes from a 7-kWh lithium-ion battery integrated into the center tunnel. Lamborghini says the Roadster can travel up to 12 miles on electric power alone.

Combined system output reaches a staggering 1,080 horsepower, making the Fenomeno Roadster the most powerful production convertible Lamborghini ever built.

Despite losing some aerodynamic efficiency compared to the coupe, performance remains brutally quick. The Roadster still launches from 0-62 mph in just 2.4 seconds. Reaching 124 mph takes 6.8 seconds, only one-tenth slower than the hardtop version.

Top speed is rated at 211 mph, slightly lower than the coupe’s 217-mph maximum.

Only 15 Will Be Built

Lamborghini hasn’t officially announced pricing, though the Roadster will almost certainly cost more than the coupe.

Industry rumors suggest the standard Fenomeno carries a price tag around $3.8 million, while the regular Revuelto starts near $665,000 in the United States.

Its extreme rarity will also drive demand. Lamborghini plans to build only 15 Fenomeno Roadsters worldwide, compared to 29 units of the coupe.

For collectors, that level of exclusivity may be just as important as the 1,080 horsepower sitting behind the seats.
