Lamborghini Fenomeno celebrates 20th anniversary of Centro Stile

Lamborghini-Fenomeno

As you may remember, the Aventador spawned a bunch of special edition derivatives such as Veneno, CentenarioSián FKP 37Essenza SCV12Countach LPI 800-4, and a couple of one-offs. It’s now time for the Aventador’s successor, Revuelto, to spawn a bunch of special editions as well, starting with the Fenomeno (Spanish/Italian for phenomenon). As with the Lamborghini tradition, the name comes from a fighting bull, more specifically, a bull that fought in Morelia, Mexico, in 2002. A total of 30 units will be built (29 for customers and 1 for the museum), and I believe all of ’em have already been spoken for.

As with the Veneno and Centenario, the Fenomeno continues the tradition of being a messier version of the original. There are so many unnecessary Y shapes in the design that it almost seems like they added those Y shapes just because they can. But I’m not a Lamborghini VIP anyway, so my opinion doesn’t matter. As for aerodynamics, there’s an S-Duct system on the front, a concave profile of the roof feeding air into the air scoop, a creasy door design that directs air towards the large air intakes on the sides, and an active rear wing.

The Fenomeno rides on a staggered setup of turbine design single-nut forged rims measuring 21-inch at the front and 22-inch at the rear, wrapped with Bridgestone Potenza Sport tires. Braking duties are handled by the CCM-R Plus carbon-ceramic brake system, measuring 420 mm at the front and 410 mm at the rear. There are no active dampers here.

The powertrain is exactly the same as the Revuelto. It’s a combination of a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 engine, 3 electric motors, and an 8-speed DCT. The 3rd electric motor is integrated into the DCT. The combined power output is 805 kW (1,080 bhp/1,094 metric hp), which is 79 metric hp more than the Revuelto, thanks in-part to a larger 7 kWh battery pack (vs Revuelto’s 3.8 kWh pack). However, the torque remains the same at 725 Nm (535 lb-ft).

The car weighs 1,772 kg (3,907 lbs) dry, which, interestingly, is same as Revuelto. The official 0-100 km/h (62 mph) sprint time is 2.4 seconds, 0.1 seconds slower than the Revuelto.

The interior looks even more angry compared with the Revuelto, especially that devil/alien mask-like element on the dashboard. According to Lamborghini, the design team went for a spaceship-like theme for the interior, which I think is fairly obvious. 3D-printed parts include the air vents.
