Lamborghini has paired its most powerful V12 creation yet with one of Italy’s most distinctive contemporary designers, releasing a new short film titled Sculpting the Soul.
The video brings together the few-off Lamborghini Fenomeno and Milan-based designer Elena Salmistraro, capturing her visceral reaction to the hybrid hypercar’s surfaces, geometry and materiality.
As she puts it: “Design for me is a dream… It’s energy and life.”
794kW and strictly limited
Unveiled as part of celebrations marking 20 years of Lamborghini’s Centro Stile design centre, and two decades since the Reventon debuted, the Fenomeno pushes the brand’s stylistic DNA to its limits.
Under the sculpted bodywork sits Lamborghini’s most powerful V12 ever, paired with electric motors for a combined 794kW output. Just 29 examples will be produced worldwide, and all are already spoken for.
Art meets myth
Salmistraro describes the car as “something you cannot ignore, a true phenomenon that breaks with ordinary in every dimension”.
She highlights the geometric surfaces, hexagonal motifs and signature Y-shaped elements as unmistakably Lamborghini, while noting the tactile pull of materials such as carbon fibre.
The film frames Fenomeno not merely as a hypercar, but as an object of design mythology, or a machine intended to stir emotion as much as it delivers performance.
