Lamborghini introduces the Fenomeno, an exclusive and rare model designed for the elite. Built upon the brand’s latest flagship, the Revuelto, its bold design has sparked debate, with some arguing its more mainstream counterpart appears more distinctive.

Yet, this automotive masterpiece undeniably impresses. Created to celebrate Centro Stile’s 20th anniversary, it debuted earlier this year ahead of Monterey Car Week. Every aspect is extraordinary, including its limited production run of just 29 units. Utilizing a hybrid system similar to the Revuelto, it delivers a slightly higher output of 1,065 horsepower.

Unveiled two decades ago, this Lamborghini supercar has finally been named by the Italian marque. Could a comeback be on the horizon?

The Fenomeno shares its DNA with other limited-edition Lamborghinis, all inspired by the brand’s flagship models. One such example is the Reventón, now considered outdated by some but unforgettable to enthusiasts. Launched in 2007 at the Frankfurt Motor Show and designed by Filippo Perini, it was based on the Murciélago, Lamborghini’s flagship at the time.

While the Murciélago was widely available, the Reventón remains exceptionally rare. Only 36 units were produced, divided into two body styles. The roadster version is the rarest, with just 15 units, while 21 coupes were released. Lamborghini retained one coupe for its museum, leaving only 20 available for sale.

Despite its debut nearly 20 years ago and production ending in 2009, the Reventón featured advanced technology for its time, including three TFT LCD screens with dual display modes. The central screen was housed in a carbon fiber frame. It also boasted a contemporary infotainment system, a minimalist steering wheel, a large carbon fiber center console with numerous buttons, and air vents reminiscent of Dacia’s design.

Exterior-wise, the Reventón appears as a more aggressive iteration of the Murciélago, which it essentially is. It features a sharper nose, large side air intakes, a streamlined silhouette, substantial rear air vents for engine cooling, muscular wheel arches, oversized exhaust tips, a flat underbody, and sporty accents beneath the taillights.

Lamborghini describes the Reventón as a “limited-edition work of art,” powered by the same engine as the Murciélago LP 640: a naturally aspirated 6.5L V12. Slightly more powerful than the standard model, it produces 641 horsepower (a 9 hp increase) and 660 Nm of torque, delivered to all four wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission.

The Reventón accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds (1.5 seconds quicker than the Ferrari Enzo) and reaches a top speed of 330 km/h. In comparison, the new Revuelto, successor to the Aventador, is 0.9 seconds faster and boasts over 1,000 horsepower.

The Reventón’s exclusivity and allure made it an instant collector’s item. Today, examples frequently sell for nearly $1.5 million, with pristine units exceeding $2 million. Given its limited production, acquiring one requires both patience and substantial financial resources.

Lamborghini’s recent online showcase of the Reventón Roadster, never sold to the public, has sparked speculation. Is it a tribute to its timeless design, or a teaser for a modern revival, akin to the Countach LPI 800-4’s resurgence?
