£3M FENOMENO SPECIAL RIPS UP LAMBO RULEBOOK

Exclusive Revuelto-based hypercar redefines firm's performance goals

- WILL RIMELL

The new Fenomeno is a £3 million, limited-run and track-honed special that is Lamborghini's most powerful model yet - and poised to break all of the company’s major performance benchmarks. Based on the £450,000 Revuelto flagship, it is the radical next edition of Lamborghini's ‘Few Off’ special vehicles programme, following the Sesto Elemento, Veneno, Centenario, Sián FKP 37 and Countach LPI 800-4. At its heart is the same plugin hybrid powertrain as in the 1001bhp Revuelto. However, power from the 6.5-litre V12 and three electric motors (two at the front, one in the gearbox) has been boosted to 1065bhp, making this the most potent Lambo to date.

The 10bhp boost in engine power alone to 824bhp comes from a redesigned valvetrain and creates the highest specific output of any Lamborghini V12 yet, at 127bhp per litre.

Power is sent to the rear wheels via the Revuelto’s transversely mounted, eight-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox.

The additional 54bhp from the motors is courtesy of a bespoke 7kWh battery, which can supply a greater amount of energy than the Revuelto's 3.4kWh battery.
