The Sián is a significant inflection point for Lamborghini. As the company’s first hybrid hypercar, it is an acknowledgement that even the most uncompromising performance cars will incorporate some form of alternative propulsion going forward. The name means “lightning” in the Emilian dialect of Bologna, while the alphanumeric designations indicate the initials and birth year of Volkswagen Group chairman Ferdinand Piëch, who oversaw the German automaker’s acquisition of Lamborghini in 1998.
The Sián shares its chassis and 6.5-liter V-12 with the Aventador. A new titanium intake manifold elevates engine output to 785 horsepower—the highest of any Lamborghini engine at the time of the Sián’s unveiling in 2019. More intriguing is the innovative hybrid system that delivers an additional 34 horsepower. The entire electric system weighs 75 pounds, helping achieve a power-to-weight ratio better than the Aventador’s. Rather than using a heavy battery pack like most hybrids, Lamborghini incorporated a supercapacitor in the bulkhead to power a 48-volt electric motor built into the car’s seven-speed automated manual gearbox. It is the first application of a supercapacitor in a production hybrid, Lamborghini claims—three times more powerful than a battery of the same weight and three times lighter than a battery producing the same power.
Besides weight, the key advantage of a supercapacitor over batteries is its ability to discharge full power instantaneously, making the Sián the fastest-accelerating Lamborghini ever at the time of its launch, achieving 0 to 62 mph in less than 2.8 seconds. An evolution of similar technology used for the start-stop system in the Aventador, the supercapacitor also has the benefit of eliminating lag between upshifts during acceleration and recharging instantaneously through regenerative braking.
The Sián reinterprets the Lamborghini Countach’s iconic wedge profile, incorporating elements both familiar, like the “periscopio” channel in the roof, and new, such as the Y-shaped lighting first seen on the Terzo Millennio electric hypercar. Lamborghini applied advancements in material science for cooling vanes at the rear that react to thermal shifts, rather than relying on motors or electronics, to open automatically.
Lamborghini limited production of the Sián FKP 37 coupe to just 63 examples, a number that represents the year the company was founded. By the time of its debut at the 2019 Frankfurt International Motor Show in Germany, all were spoken for, each one customized by its owner directly through Lamborghini’s Centro Stile, ensuring that no two are alike.
Delivered new through official Lamborghini dealership Holman Motorcars St. Louis in Missouri, this Sián coupe has been lavishly configured with a dramatic Rosso Efesto exterior that fades into exposed gloss carbon fiber—a fully bespoke specification executed through Lamborghini’s exclusive Ad Personam program. The custom-specified exposed carbon fiber interior features Nero Ade leather with Rosso Alala Alcantara inserts and contrast stitching, a color scheme that coordinates beautifully with the exterior and red-accented wheels. The optional exterior and interior Carbon Packages and Ad Personam gradated paint finish added nearly $237,000 to the price of the Sián when new.
Now offered with just over 300 miles showing at the time of cataloguing, this Sián carries the distinction of having been part of the Petersen Automotive Museum exhibition
Hypercars: The Allure of the Extreme in Los Angeles, which ran from December 2021 to May 2023. It is quite a worthy inclusion, as the Sián represents one of the most ambitious and visually arresting performance cars of the modern era, at the very threshold of Lamborghini’s naturally aspirated past and increasingly electrified future.
