Automobili Lamborghini has unveiled the Fenomeno Roadster, an ultra-exclusive open-top supercar limited to just 15 units worldwide. Powered by a V12 hybrid powertrain producing 1,080 CV, it is the most powerful open-top model ever produced by the Italian marque. The Fenomeno Roadster debuted at the second edition of the Lamborghini Arena and builds upon the Fenomeno Coupé first introduced in 2025.
Lamborghini Unveils the Fenomeno Roadster — Its Most Powerful Open-Top Ever
Automobili Lamborghini has pulled the wraps off its most ferocious open-top creation to date: the Fenomeno Roadster. Revealed at the second edition of the Lamborghini Arena in Sant’Agata Bolognese, the new model pushes the boundaries of what a roofless supercar can be, delivering a staggering 1,080 CV from a V12 hybrid powertrain. With a production run capped at just 15 units, the Fenomeno Roadster is as exclusive as it is powerful.
A New Chapter in Lamborghini’s Few-Off Legacy
The Fenomeno Roadster joins a storied lineage of ultra-limited open-top Lamborghini models — a tradition that began with the iconic Reventón Roadster in 2009. Positioned within the brand’s prestigious Few-Off program, these are not production cars in any conventional sense. Each model represents a singular exercise in engineering ambition and bespoke craftsmanship, created for the most discerning collectors in the world.
The new Roadster is a direct evolution of the Fenomeno Coupé, which made its debut in 2025. Where the Coupé offered a closed cockpit, the Roadster strips things back to deliver a raw, open-air experience without compromising on performance — a feat made possible by the car’s cutting-edge hybrid V12 architecture.
Performance and Design
At the heart of the Fenomeno Roadster lies a V12 hybrid powertrain capable of generating a combined output of 1,080 CV, cementing its status as the most powerful open-top model ever produced by Lamborghini. The two-seater sports car pairs this extraordinary performance with motorsport-inspired technical solutions throughout, signaling the brand’s ongoing commitment to racing DNA in its road cars.
The design has been crafted by Lamborghini Centro Stile, the in-house design center that has shaped the brand’s unmistakable visual identity for more than two decades. The result is a machine that is as visually arresting as it is dynamically formidable.

The Lamborghini Arena: Where Exclusivity Meets Ceremony
The Fenomeno Roadster did not simply debut at a press conference — it was unveiled at the Lamborghini Arena, a concept event that has quietly become one of the most coveted gatherings in the automotive world. The second edition, held at Lamborghini’s headquarters in Sant’Agata Bolognese, functions as something closer to a private fashion house presentation than a traditional motor show reveal. Invitations are extended only to the brand’s most loyal and high-profile clients, collectors, and cultural figures, reinforcing the idea that owning a Few-Off Lamborghini begins long before any contract is signed.
The Arena format itself reflects a broader shift in how ultra-luxury marques are approaching product launches. Rather than competing for floor space at Geneva or Pebble Beach, Lamborghini has chosen to create its own theater — one governed entirely by its own aesthetic and emotional logic. It is a strategy that mirrors the approach of the great Parisian couture houses, where the runway is not merely a backdrop but an integral part of the object’s meaning. For the Fenomeno Roadster, a machine limited to 15 units, the intimacy of the Arena setting could not be more appropriate. The car arrives already mythologized, already rare, already dressed for legend.
Craftsmanship, Personalization, and the Few-Off Philosophy
To understand the Fenomeno Roadster fully, one must understand the Few-Off program that gives it context. Distinct from Lamborghini’s Ad Personam customization service — which allows buyers to tailor color, trim, and specification on production models — the Few-Off designation signals something fundamentally different: cars that exist at the intersection of industrial engineering and artisanal craft, produced in quantities so small that each unit carries an inherent singularity.
Previous Few-Off models, including the Sián Roadster and the Invencible, demonstrated Lamborghini’s ability to move fluidly between technological ambition and sculptural beauty. The Fenomeno Roadster continues that trajectory. Each of the 15 examples is understood to be developed in close dialogue with its owner, with Lamborghini Centro Stile acting less like a production department and more like a couture atelier — translating personal vision into aerodynamic form and carbon-fiber surface.
The practical implications of this approach extend beyond aesthetics. Structural decisions, material selections, and even certain performance calibrations can be tailored to individual specification, ensuring that no two Fenomeno Roadsters are precisely identical. In a market saturated with limited editions, this degree of genuine personalization is what separates a collectible from a commodity.
The Cultural Weight of the Open-Top Supercar in 2026
There is something deliberately, almost defiantly anachronistic about the open-top supercar in the current moment. As the automotive industry accelerates toward full electrification and autonomous capability, the roadster — with its exposed cockpit, its insistence on driver sensation, its refusal of comfort as the governing value — reads as a kind of manifesto. The Fenomeno Roadster, with 1,080 CV channeled through a hybrid V12 and no roof between driver and atmosphere, makes that argument with considerable force.
For the global collector class that Lamborghini’s Few-Off program is designed to serve, this tension is precisely the point. These are individuals who move between Milan, New York, Dubai, and Tokyo; who understand both the cultural grammar of high fashion and the engineering poetry of a naturally aspirated engine at full song. The Fenomeno Roadster speaks to both registers simultaneously — it is as much a wearable statement as it is a performance instrument, as relevant on the Amalfi Coast as it would be arriving at a St. Regis valet stand.
In that sense, the Fenomeno Roadster is not simply Lamborghini’s most powerful open-top car. It is, arguably, the brand’s most eloquent argument for why driving — in all its visceral, roof-free, wind-loud glory — still matters.
