Every once in a while, Lamborghini debuts a special edition model. Last year, it was the Fenomeno, and this year, there will be something similar. Well-placed sources had told us that the Lamborghini Fenomeno Roadster will be unveiled in May. The car will be showcased at Lamborghini Arena 2026, which will be held at Imola on May 9-10.

Traditionally, Lamborghini has offered roadster versions of its few-offs. Legendary models like the Reventon and Veneno got open-top versions, and more recently, the Centenario and Sian FKP 37.

The Fenomeno Roadster is likely to feature a similar exterior to the coupe. The jaw-dropping two-tone design is exactly what a Lamborghini should look like, while the interior will be carried over from the Revuelto.

The Fenomeno is based on the Revuelto. The Roadster will be powered by the same V12 hybrid tuned to produce 1065 hp and 793 lb-ft of torque. It should make it the most powerful roadster Lamborghini has ever built.

Like the Revuelto, the Fenomeno also boasts a larger 7 kWh lithium-ion battery, which gives it an electric range of 12.4 miles.

Lamborghini is building only 29 examples of the coupe with a price tag of $3.5 million each. We expect the roadster version to be even more exclusive.

Lamborghini also plans to showcase another special edition model, the Revuelto Miura Edition, in August this year.

BYD’s premium brand Denza has unveiled the Z9 GT, claiming more than 1,000 km of range on China’s CLTC test cycle –  a new benchmark for production electric cars.

In a post on Weibo, the company shared an image with the caption: “Denza Z9 GT: The All-New Denza Z9 GT – The world’s longest-range pure electric model.”

Crossing the 1,000 km mark is symbolically significant and, while based on China’s more generous CLTC test cycle, would likely translate to well over 800 km on the WLTP standard.

Reports from China last month revealed key specs for the new Denza Z9 GT model, as part of the approval documents submitted by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT).

This upcoming Z9 model will come with two new batteries, using BYD’s lithium iron phosphate (LFP) blade batteries with capacities of 102 kWh and 122 kWh.

The larger 122 kWh pack delivers up to 1,036 km on CLTC, while the tri-motor version drops slightly to 1,002 km

due to added power.

Specs also showed that the model will be available in both single and tri-motor versions. The single-motor version will come with a 370 kW rear-wheel-drive configuration, while the tri-motor version will have a combined power output of 850 kW.

New wheel designs are aimed at reducing cabin noise, while an integrated roof-mounted lidar forms part of Denza’s “God’s Eye” advanced driver assistance system.

Having driven the current-generation Z9 GT in Shenzhen last year, I found it more comfort-focused than outright sporty, positioning it as a long-distance tourer rather than a track weapon.

The performance figures for touring and daily driving in the Z9 GT are still well above pretty much anything else available in the Australian market.

With Denza’s D9 already approved for sale in Australia, the Z9 GT could follow if the premium brand expands its local lineup.

With rapid battery development, 1,000 kW charging claims and now four-digit range figures, BYD is accelerating its technological push and reshaping expectations around what mainstream EVs can deliver.
