The Lamborghini Fenomeno is the Lamborghini that answered a simple question — how much car can this badge carry? — with 824 hp at 9,250  from 6498 cc L545 naturally aspirated . It was built from 2025, in the decade the industry is turning electric. Mitja Borkert drew it.
How it came about
The Lamborghini Fenomeno is a mid-engine plug-in hybrid sports car produced by the Italian automobile manufacturer Lamborghini. A total of 29 units were built, all of which were sold before the official presentation.
The hardware
Power comes from 6498 cc L545 naturally aspirated 824 hp at 9,250  is the published figure. It weighs 1772 kg dry. Work it out per tonne and you get about 7 horsepower — leisurely, which for a car of its age and purpose is the point. It shifts through a 8-speed Graziano dual-clutch automatic. The layout matters: the engine sits behind the driver and ahead of the rear axle, which puts the mass in the middle of the car and is why mid-engined cars change direction the way they do. The wheelbase is 2779 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Family and rivals
Its family tree is legible: assembly was at Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy. Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Geely Panda Mini EV — show what else the money bought that year. Its Lamborghini stablemates include the Lamborghini Calà and the Lamborghini Marco Polo.
