The past week has been a big week in the history of Lamborghini; they revealed a new limited-edition car at the 2019 Frankfurt motor show. It's a special car for the Italian sports car manufacturer because they will be building a car with a Hybrid powertrain. This car will be called the Lamborghini Sián; the name Sián stands for "flash" of "lightening" in Lamborghini's home region of bologna in Italy.
Lamborghini will only build 63 Sián's; the 63 examples represent 1963 the year the company was founded. However, Lamborghini has already sold the 63 units. The Sián's new hybrid powertrain will produce a combined 819 hp (602 kW) between the e-motor and V12 engine. All of this power will make it accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds and do a top speed of 350 km/h. Also, the Sián gets it’s electric power from a 48 volt e-motor that produces 34 hp. The electric motor is incorporated into the gearbox which is then distributed to all 4 wheels.
The new Sián takes some of its design cues like its headlights from the Lamborghini Terzo Millennio concept. However, the big thing to take away from this limited-edition Sián is the new design language will be seen in future Lamborghini's.
Great Vlog from Carwow on the new Sián
Each Sián will cost around or near 4.3 million Australian dollars. However, the chances of seeing a Sián on Australian roads are slim.
