Lamborghini makes fast cars; this is an indisputable fact. So when the iconic Italian automaker says it’s new plug-in hybrid is both “the most powerful V12 every built” and “the fastest Lamborghini ever,” you should pay attention.
At Monterey Car Week, Lamborghini unveiled its new Fenomeno plug-in hypercar that will be part of the automaker’s limited edition “Few Off” collection, which also includes notable entrants like the Sián and Countach. But before you reach for your wallet, you should know that this exclusive machine will cost a whopping $3.5 million. Just in case you’re worried about affordability.
If money is no option, then the Fenomeno is sure to impress when out on the track. The combination of 835cv from the naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 and a further 245cv from the three electric motors, the Fenomeno’s total power output registers as a blistering 1,080cv (a metric unit of horsepower that roughly translates to 1,065hp). That’s a clear step above the Revuelto’s 1,015cv (1,001hp) power output and a sign that Lamborghini’s hybrid models have some room to grow.
