Lamborghini's V12 Roadster: Most Powerful Open-Top Ever

Lamborghini's Fenomeno roadster, the latest from its exclusive Few Off program, is poised to be the most powerful open-top production car. Only 15 units will be manufactured, with a price tag around €5 million before taxes. Deliveries are scheduled for the first half of 2028, and potential buyers have already been selected from Lamborghini's most dedicated collectors, many of whom own dozens of the brand's vehicles.

The Fenomeno coupé, launched in August 2025, also saw all 29 units sold off-plan. The selection process for these exclusive models involves a scoring system based on a customer's history and collection size. Selling a previous One Off car can disqualify a buyer from future limited editions.

Design director Mitja Borkert emphasized the car's mission: to look expensive and exclusive. The roadster, based on the Revuelto hybrid sports car, features an aggressive, angular design with a distinctive long tail for enhanced downforce. Despite requiring additional structural bracing and roll-over protection, its extreme carbon-fibre engineering makes it only slightly heavier than the coupé.

This GT hypercar is road-legal but intended for minimal use, with owners typically driving less than 300 miles annually. Its performance is remarkable, featuring a 6.5-litre V12 hybrid engine delivering 1,080CV. It accelerates to 100kph in 2.4 seconds and reaches over 340kph. The vehicle utilizes an adapted carbon tub from the Revuelto, with entirely new front and rear subframes.

For those seeking a less exclusive, though still potent, Lamborghini experience, the new Temerario, replacing the Huracán, offers a V8 hybrid engine. The Few Off program began in 2007 with the Reventón, inspired by fighter jets. Aeronautics continue to influence Lamborghini's design philosophy, aiming for instantly recognizable silhouettes, much like iconic aircraft.
