Exclusive Open-Top Powerhouse
Lamborghini has officially launched the Fenomeno Roadster, a sensational open-top variant of their already acclaimed Fenomeno Coupe. This new iteration
is exceptionally exclusive, with production capped at a mere 15 units worldwide. This limited availability positions the Fenomeno Roadster as an even rarer gem than its coupe sibling and firmly establishes it as the pinnacle of open-top supercars in the brand's lineup. It represents a significant achievement in automotive engineering, combining raw power with the freedom of an unroofed driving experience, embodying the brand's commitment to extreme performance and unique design.
Aerodynamic Design Evolution
The Fenomeno Roadster maintains a striking visual resemblance to its coupe predecessor, featuring the same aggressive lines, sharp creases, and prominent air vents and ducts that define the front, sides, and rear. Subtle but crucial modifications have been made to accommodate the lack of a roof, specifically the engine cover and the windshield frame. The windshield frame has undergone a redesign and now incorporates an aerodynamic spoiler element along its top edge. This feature is engineered to strategically channel airflow over the cockpit and towards the redesigned engine cover situated on the rear deck, ensuring optimal cooling for the powerful V12 engine housed within. These thoughtful adjustments enhance both form and function, maintaining the supercar's impressive aerodynamic capabilities.
Roofless Refinements
To achieve its roadster form, the design team has removed the central roof-mounted air intake characteristic of the coupe. In its place, the roadster features a distinctive twin-buttress design that not only enhances the visual appeal but also integrates essential rollover protection bars for enhanced safety. The engine cover has also been revised with new vent configurations specifically designed to direct air into the V12 engine, which resides behind the driver and passenger seats. Lamborghini asserts that these meticulous design alterations allow the roadster to generate downforce levels comparable to those of the coupe, ensuring that performance is not compromised by the open-top configuration.
Luxurious Cabin Experience
Inside, the cabin of the Fenomeno Roadster largely mirrors the sophisticated design of the coupe, retaining its impressive trifecta of digital displays. This includes a fully digital driver's display, a central touchscreen oriented vertically, and an additional dedicated screen for the passenger. The centre console is thoughtfully designed with a selection of physical controls, including the iconic fighter-jet-inspired engine start button and the electronic gear selector, adding a tactile and engaging element to the driving experience. The interior seamlessly blends cutting-edge technology with a driver-focused environment, offering both comfort and premium aesthetics for occupants.
Potent V12 Hybrid Powertrain
Under the hood, the Fenomeno Roadster is equipped with the same formidable V12 hybrid powerplant that powers its coupe sibling. This powertrain is an enhanced iteration of the system found in the Revuelto, delivering a staggering combined peak output of 1065 bhp. The V12 engine itself produces a formidable 824 bhp and 725 Nm of torque. This internal combustion engine is augmented by a trio of electric motors and a 7kWh battery pack, creating a potent hybrid system that offers both exhilarating acceleration and enhanced efficiency. The integration of electric power alongside the V12 engine results in a truly groundbreaking performance package.
Blistering Performance Metrics
The Fenomeno Roadster boasts truly breathtaking performance figures. Lamborghini claims an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in an astonishing 2.4 seconds, matching the coupe's acceleration precisely. The sprint to 200 km/h is achieved in just 6.8 seconds, making it only marginally slower than the coupe by a mere 0.1 seconds. The supercar is capable of reaching a top speed of 340 km/h, placing it firmly in the upper echelon of hypercar performance. For assured stopping power at these extreme speeds, the vehicle comes standard-equipped with high-performance carbon-ceramic brakes, ensuring confident deceleration.
