The Sian translates as 'Bolt of Lightening' in the Bologna dialect and Sian is loosely based on the Aventador underpinnings. A limited run of 63 cars aimed at Lamborghini's top customers will cost around 2.5 million Euros thereby putting this car at the very top of Lamborghini's range making it the fastest, most powerful Lamborghini ever made and the first to embrace hybrid technology.

Though the car may have a hybrid element it is unashamedly a high performance 'Supercar' that focusses on low weight combined with aero. The resident hybrid system subtly assists the car’s naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 engine. The system also diverges from other hybrid models by using a lighter than battery super-capacitor, super-capacitors differ from traditional battery packs in the way they store and supply electricity: they can absorb and expel energy far more quickly than a battery, but are less effective at holding on to a charge over a long period of time.

'Lamborghini says that the supercapacitor in the Sian will recharge to full after one braking application, and it can draw on the 40hp electric motor at speeds of up to 80mph. The V12 itself has seen a power increase from the 759bhp, found in the Aventador SVJ, to 774bhp thanks to the adoption of titanium intake valves. Combined, the powertrain gives maximum power of 808bhp at 8500rpm. Evo Mag.

Launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show by Lamborghini's President and CEO, ex Ferrari Racing boss, Stefano Domenicali, one of our favourite Car bosses. It is obvious that the management at Lamborghini is so enthusiastic these days and this will hopefully guarantee their success in the motor industry going forward. Lamborghini claims the Sian accelerates from 0-62mph time is ‘less than 2.8sec’, beating the time recorded for the SVJ, but they say it’s the Sian’s in-gear times that have benefited most.

Where the Sian looks forward is in its innate beauty, and it is beautiful to this reporters eyes, taken from Gandini’s Countach LP400 from 1974, with a clean silhouette. Clearly Lamborghini have not forgotten that their car have to be beautiful unlike some launches by competitors in recent years, the ducts on the body sides and the tail lights formed of three hexagons all lend aggression to the sculptured lines but the overall effect is one of complete cohesion. We'd say job done and congrats Lambo you have created the best looking Supercar since the Countach, no question.

Other highlights are the rear wing that raises automatically at higher speeds along with temperature activated cooling fins that operate without needing additional electric motors. Perhaps the only real drawback is the price but to mind justified when you see the end result in the flesh.
