Lamborghini used the 2026 Concours of Elegance Germany to put its past, present, and future on full display, with the new Fenomeno Roadster making its German premiere on the shores of Lake Tegernsee. Held July 4 and 5 at Gut Kaltenbrunn, the event gave Lamborghini Munich the perfect setting to showcase one of Sant’Agata Bolognese’s most exclusive modern creations alongside some of the brand’s most important V12 icons.
The Fenomeno Roadster is the latest example of Lamborghini’s Few-Off philosophy, limited to just 15 vehicles worldwide. Its numbers are appropriately wild, with a 1,080 CV V12 hybrid powertrain making it the most powerful open-top Lamborghini ever built. Lamborghini says it can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.4 seconds, reach 200 km/h in 6.8 seconds, and continue on to more than 340 km/h. For a roofless machine built with collector-grade rarity, that level of performance is exactly the kind of drama Lamborghini buyers expect.
Lamborghini also brought the Temerario and Urus SE to the event, giving guests a clear look at how the brand is moving deeper into hybrid performance without abandoning its emotional edge. The Temerario pairs a new 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with three electric motors for more than 920 CV and an engine capable of spinning to 10,000 rpm. The Urus SE takes a different approach, combining a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with an electric motor and a 25.9-kWh battery for 800 CV and 950 Nm of torque, reinforcing its role as Lamborghini’s electrified Super SUV.
The heritage side of the display was just as important, with private-collection examples of the Miura, Countach, and Diablo helping tell the story of Lamborghini’s V12 legacy. The Miura drew special attention as it celebrates its 60th anniversary, while the more focused Miura SV marks 55 years. First shown at the Geneva Motor Show in 1966, the Miura helped create the template for the modern supercar with its transverse mid-mounted V12, a layout and attitude that still influence Lamborghini today.
The Countach and Diablo carried that legacy forward in their own unmistakable ways. The Countach became the poster-car dream of multiple generations and introduced in-house bodywork and upholstery traditions that remain core to Lamborghini craftsmanship. The Diablo, launched in 1990, pushed the brand into a new performance era with a 5.7-liter V12, 492 CV, and a top speed that reached 337 km/h at Nardò, making it one of the defining supercars of its time. Together with the new Fenomeno Roadster, Temerario, and Urus SE, Lamborghini’s presence at Concours of Elegance Germany served as a vivid reminder that even as the brand embraces electrification, its identity is still built on speed, design, noise, rarity, and Italian emotion.
