Lamborghini just announced its most powerful car ever, the hybrid electric Sian
Lamborghini says it used technology from its previous model, the Aventador, and improved it to store 10 times the power.
The Sián has a combined horsepower rating of 819, making ti the most powerful Lamborghini ever produced.
The car uses the same naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine that Lamborghini put in the SVJ.
But it also equipped with a 48-volt electric motor that delivers 34 horsepower. This, combined with the 785 horsepower V12 engine, allows the car to reach the total of 819 horsepower.
The automaker claims the car has the lowest weight-to-power ratio of all V12 Lamborghinis.
The car can reach 62 mph in under 2.8 seconds and has a top speed of over 217 mph.
Only 63 units of the car will be created in honor of the year Automobili Lamborghini was founded, 1963.
Each car will be individually customized and styled by its owners via the automaker’s design studio and program, Lamborghini Centro Stile and Lamborghini Ad Personam.
“Sián” is the word in the Bolognese dialect that means “flash” or “lightning,” which is an obvious reference to the electric applications.
“Not only does the Sián deliver a formidable hyper-car design and engineering tour de force today, it augments the potential for Lamborghini as a super sports car brand for tomorrow and for decades to come, even as hybridization becomes more desirable and inevitably essential,” Automobili Lamborghini Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Stefano Domenicali said in a prepared statement.
The electric motor also helps low-speed maneuvers such as reversing and parking.
The car will be unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show 2019, which runs from Sept. 14 to 24.
All 63 of the models being produced have already been spoken for, and are already sold.
