In addition to straight-line pace, the Fenomeno features downforce-inducing aero for rapid lap times. Elements include a wide front splitter, a pair of underbody air curtains and an active rear wing.
Making its debut at Monterey Car Week in California, the Fenomeno is a “tribute to the original Countach and the beginning of the era of supercars”, CEO Stephan Winkelmann told Autocar, “but I’m against having retro cars”.
He said “some” elements of the car’s “hyper-elegant” body will be used to steer the design of future models, although it is “too early to say” which parts. “There are some elements which are helping us to decide what to do next,” he said.
Although hardcore in its remit, the Fenomeno offers the usual Lamborghini luxuries inside, where it mirrors the design of the Revuelto with a 12.3in instrument cluster, 8.4in central touchscreen and button-clad steering wheel.
However, the perceived material quality has been dialled up, with even more Alcantara and carbonfibre covering the major touch points. Lightweight racing buckets are also fitted.
Just 30 examples will be made, including one that’s destined for the Lamborghini museum in Bologna, Italy. All are already sold.
