Multi-Technology Carbon Fiber Chassis
In addition to the powertrain and aerodynamics, the chassis is also a fascinating feat of engineering. The Fenomeno Roadster combines a monocoque made entirely of multi-technology carbon fiber, and a front structure made of Forged Composite®, which offers exceptional rigidity with minimal weight.
The chassis is based on an aerospace-inspired structure called the monofuselage, which is also used in the Revuelto. Instead of a classic carbon monocoque cell, the entire front end is designed as an extremely lightweight and high-strength carbon fiber structure, which also integrates components such as front crash structures, front frame, windshield frame, rear bulkhead, and side skirts made of Forged Composites®.
The Roadster has achieved a similar level of stiffness and rigidity compared to the Coupé, with only a few kilograms of additional weight. Lamborghini has achieved this thanks to a novel combination of long and short fibres of carbon and a patented fluid mixture. The chassis design meets the performance targets set by Lamborghini, while also increasing energy absorption in the event of a collision. This new patented technology is used for the first time in this hybrid configuration on a production Lamborghini.
First super sports car roadster with V12 hybrid HPEV
The Fenomeno Roadster is Lamborghinis first open two-seater that is equipped with a V12 hybrid HPEV powertrain and it opens a new chapter in the brand’s electrification strategy. At the heart of its powertrain is a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine, which is the most powerful V12 ever built by Lamborghini. It delivers 835 CV at 9,250 rpm and 725 Newton meters of torque at 6,750 rpm – with a specific power output of over 128 CV per liter, an historic best for the brand.
This powerful engine works in conjunction with three electric motors, two at the front, one positioned above the eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox, which provide additional electric power and functions such as torque vectoring and regenerative braking. The 7 kWh lithium-ion battery also enables a fully electric driving mode.
Together, the combustion engine and electric drive achieve a combined system output of 1080 CV/1065 HP. This enables the Fenomeno Roadster to accelerate to 100 km/h in 2.4 seconds, to 200 km/h in 6.8 seconds, and reach a top speed of over 340 km/h.
The braking system, equipped with CCM-R Plus carbon-ceramic discs made of a three-dimensional structure of long carbon fibers embedded in a carbon matrix and a special coating that increases the durability of both discs and pads, ensures a high and stable friction coefficient. The system is designed for use in combination with organic racing brake pads. The CCM-R Plus also features a ventilation system that reduces the temperature of discs and pads under dynamic conditions.
To deliver perfect driving dynamics and ensure the vehicle is as fun to drive as possible, the Fenomeno Roadster is fitted with racing shocks that can be manually calibrated to allow the perfect stance and setup to be achieved for the track and type of use. They also offer optimum damping performance that keeps body movement in check, as well as greater travel ratio between wheel and shock. The result is suspension kinematics that allow the shocks to work at their best and therefore offer extraordinary sports driving behavior.
Tires
As Lamborghini’s Official Technical Partner and exclusive tire supplier for its complete super sportscar range, Bridgestone has custom-engineered two premium Potenza tires to unlock the new Fenomeno Roadster’s full potential on and off the track.
The Fenomeno Roadster’s bespoke Potenza Sport ultra-high-performance tires are designed to optimize the exclusive supercar’s immense capabilities and V12 hybrid powertrain. Available in 265/30 ZRF21 (front) and 355/25 ZRF22 (rear) sizes, the Bridgestone Potenza Sport tires combine exceptional high-speed performance with excellent steering response and precision. This fitment is also available with Bridgestone's Run-Flat Technology (RFT), which allows drivers to continue driving safely even after a puncture.
The Potenza Sport fitment will be paired with a bespoke semi-slick, next-generation Bridgestone tire that is engineered to deliver outstanding track-level performance – leveraging Bridgestone’s extensive motorsport expertise. Available in 20- and 21-inch sizes, this high-grip tire unlocks the Fenomeno Roadster’s full performance potential on track, while remaining fully homologated for public roads.
The Bridgestone tires feature the unique Lamborghini marking on their sidewall to highlight their exclusive development. Both fitments are developed and manufactured in Italy, applying Bridgestone’s proprietary Virtual Tire Development (VTD) technology. VTD improves both the efficiency and sustainability of the tire development process – leading to an up to 60 percent reduction in raw material consumption and CO2 emissions in the development phase, while reducing development time.

- I'm not sure... the designs of the new cars haven't been doing it for me... these new ones look too slick, soften, "safe". They don't have that mean, angry, powerful look that an Aventador, Huracan or Centenario had. Yeah, you can still see it is a Lamborghini, but it could very well be a Pagani or a Ferrari or ... I'm sorry- I bought a Huracan 2 weeks ago, and now that my eyes are wide open to the brand, I have to say, when it comes to design, I think Lamborghini has Ferrari licked these days. Obviously both brands have difference design philosophies, but to me, some of Ferrari's more recent designs are kind of boring. I can't think of a Lamborghini model that could be called that.
- And yet again another sh*t looking deformed sh*t car. This is making you proud? Foor god's sake you had the Miura. You had the Countach. You had the Diablo. You had the Murcielago. You had the SV Jota's. Impressive yet elegant looking cars. Balanced lines. These days all looks like a soda can smashed with a hammer and that's it.
Fckn hell. New Lambo and you call this 'fenomeno' but it's only phenomenally ugly. And it's phenomenal ugly amounts of money to pay for this. No, i can't pay for this. Wouldn't want to either. From all brands you'd hope Lamborghini would find it's way back and in a era of ugly supercars to bring back Italian art and desire.
Another 5 to 10 years wait until we might have something elegant. Geesh. When EV's can go to 60 in under 1 second, you can relax that you don't need to make crazy stats anymore that demand crazy aero lines but you can defend being 1/2 a second slower and package it in something that makes your jaw drop but nah. It looks like a angry cat with it's ears cut off.
