Insane Styling: Both In and Out Lamborghini are very different from other car makers. Unlike say Ferrari, McLaren, Porsche or even Mercedes, one doesn’t judge a Lambo based on its 0-62mph, top speed or lap times. The most important thing in any true Lambo is its styling. Is it the type of car that will turn heads immediately down a street? The type that will cause you to ignore everything and anything else with its sheer awe. The Fenomeno is very much that. Named after a Mexican Fighting Bull, translated it means Phenomenon, though Phenomenal seems accurate. Because that’s exactly what one thinks when they see this monster. With its low-slung body, wide girth and enormous rear diffuser, it looks every bit as insane, moronic and outlandish as a Kanye West Concert or a Las Vegas Casino. However, look closely and you’ll notice details that call back to Lambos of old. The enormous rear exhaust is clearly inspired by the Reventon. The front daytime running lights are from the Temerario. The headlights, both front and rear, appear to come from the Centenario. The wheels appear to come from the Veneno, the S-Duct is clearly inspired by the Aventador SVJ, and the overall profile looks distinctly identical to the iconic Countach Concept that was launched over 50 years earlier. Inside, it very much has that fighter-jet cockpit-style cabin familiar to the Revuelto, but three digital screens replace most physical buttons. There’s carbon-fibre on the door panels, centre console, and racing bucket seat alongside ambient lighting and 3D-printed vents. Lambo’s Ad Personam program grants over 400 exterior colours and a nearly infinite range of interior options. But no doubt this is a car that looks spectacular, no matter what spec it’s in. Some Clever Engineering Of course, styling is key, but modern Lambos are known for having some clever engineering beneath the bravado, which of course comes from strict Germans of the Volkswagen group. The Fenomeno’s chassis is made from a blend of carbon fibre with a Forged Composite® front structure. The Fenomeno also features CCM-R Plus carbon-ceramic brakes, inspired by Lamborghini’s LMDh racing technology.

Custom 21- and 22-inch turbine-inspired rims, paired with bespoke Bridgestone Potenza Sport tyres, and single nut forged rings are said to enhance the car’s grip in the corners alongside the All-Wheel Drive system. The SVJ-inspired S-duct air duct improves front-downforce whilst the bespoke air curtains and an omega-shaped rear wing optimise airflow and stability. Side intakes channel air efficiently to the engine and radiators, achieving over 30% more efficient cooling than all previous V12 models. But what you have to love is that all these design cues are integrated into the styling in such a wild and Lamboish way. Of Course, A V12 = Plenty of Raging Power and Sound Perhaps as important as the styling of a Lamborghini is its soundtrack. Before you even notice one, you’ll hear one, wailing and roaring down city centres. Most hypercars of today are hybrids, using twin-turbo engines mated to a bank of electric motors to generate monstrous amounts of horsepower. And sure enough, like the Revuelto, the Fenomeno has three electric motors. However, combined with them is a 6.5l naturally-aspirated, 825-horsepower V12, found in the Revuelto, that sounds like a wailing banshee every time it exceeds that 9,500rpm redline. The electric motors, in turn, are now 7kWh instead of 3.8kWh as in the Revuelto, which results in 240 horsepower instead of 190. The final combination of all this is a whopping 1,065 horsepower and 792 lb-ft of torque. Engage thrust mode and this car’s All Wheel Drive system and hybrid setup rockets from 0-62mph in an eye-splitting 2.4 seconds and keeps on going way past 217mph. That makes this the fastest, most powerful car Lamborghini have ever made. It’ll be gone before you’ve ever seen it. Not that you ever will see one, as only 30 Fenomenos will be made, each costing $3.5 million, and all have been sold out. That’s Worse and Better than Everything Else The Fenomeno is the fourth official hybrid hypercar to be launched this past year behind the McLaren W1, Ferrari F80 and Aston Martin Valhalla. Now, performance-wise, it isn’t even close to the W1 or the F80. Those two are purpose-built machines that have been pushed to the max, generating over 200 more horsepower respectively, and are specifically designed to smash track records. It’s pretty identical to the Valhalla with identical horsepower figures, similar top speeds and 0-62mph times. That said, the latter has over 20lb-ft more torque than the Raging Bull and costs almost a quarter of the price. Not to mention Aston Martin are building 999 Valhallas compared to just 30 Fenomenos. In many ways, the Fenomeno makes no sense; it’s not the fastest hypercar, nor the most efficient, and certainly isn’t the most well-priced. But that’s what we love about Lamborghini, they make no sense. They’re cars that look absurd, sound gargantuan and ridiculously expensive. Anyone with a functioning brain cell doesn’t buy one. But yet, they have something that no other car maker has, a sense of humour and a character. The Fenomeno may not technically be on the same level as its rivals, but it looks epic, sounds mega and pulls at your heartstrings rather than your head. It’s a true Lambo through and through, and you just have to love it for that.
