Not that Santa Agata had never experimented with electricity, but until now it had been limited to concepts. Lamborghini Sian-not only the first hybrid that you can try to buy, but also the most powerful "Lambo" in history.
The extravagant supercar, which debuts at the Frankfurt motor show, is built on Aventador units, and its exterior is overflowing with clear references to the Terzo Millennio concept. However, sian has so many design features that it has every right to be called an independent model.
At the same time, Lamborghini's chief designer Mitya Borkert emphasizes that the creators of the new supercar drew inspiration from the classic Countach model, but Sian is a futuristic symbol of the brand, not nostalgia for the past. And, by the way, contrary to custom to name their models with names of famous fighting bulls and matadors, the name of Sion, translated from Beloretskogo dialect means "Flash of lightning" that fully describes the ultrafast and bright car using the electric drive train.
Gasoline engine in the power plant of the supercar used classic-6.5-liter V12. But his return brought to 785 HP, which already makes Sian powerful Aventador SVJ. In addition, the engine received an electric "superstructure", bringing the return of the power plant to 819 HP it is Implemented using a 7-speed robot with adaptive capabilities, a four-wheel drive system and a self-locking differential on the rear axle.
Up to 100 km/h Lamborghini Sian accelerates in 2.8 seconds, that is, as fast as the Aventador SVJ. Maximum speed is stated at 350 km/h But due to the possibility of short-term to maximise the potential of the electric part of the powertrain Sian noticeably more elastic and ahead of the Aventador SVJ during acceleration, for example, from 30 to 60 km/h and from 70 to 120 km/h.
This is achieved thanks to supercapacitors: their use is also explained by three times less weight compared to conventional batteries. Located between the passenger compartment and the engine compartment, the unit is able to give energy very quickly and very quickly restore it: it is argued that thanks to a well-thought-out recovery system, one intensive braking is enough for the last operation.
Another nuance is that Sian can move only by electric traction. However, not far and not fast, but, according to Lamborghini, it will not overheat the gasoline engine, for example, when maneuvering in the Parking lot.
It is already known that Lamborghini will build only 63 super hybrids and sell them at least 3.6 million dollars each. However, each buyer is promised to provide access to all the features of the personalization program, so that the price can be safely multiplied by one and a half.
