Lamborghini is building 63 examples of the Asian coupe, one of which is headed for Mexico. Lamborghini launched the Sian as a 2020 model last year, with 63 units set to be built, and they are all sold now. Autoblog points out the coupe version is said to be priced at about $2M starting, while for the 819hp Lamborghini Hybrid, Lamborghini says that Lamborghini has sold all 19 units so far. By taking their super-exclusive Sian Supercar and dropping the roof, they have managed to create one hell of a special vehicle, and they are going to be limited to only 19 made.
While all 19 examples of the Sian Roadster are spoken for, the technology and design points towards a future where Lamborghini integrates electrification in innovative, performance-enhancing ways. The Sians groundbreaking hybrid drivetrain foreshadows a path forward for Lamborghini hyper sports cars, while Lamborghinis Sian Roadster validates a commitment to the Lamborghinis ultimate lifestyle. The New Roadster Version of Lamborghinis Hybrid SIAN Hypercar The Lamborghini Sian Hybrid Hypercar is the worlds most powerful production open-top vehicle, boasting an 820hp power output. A 48-volt mild-hybrid system adds 34 hp (25 kW) to its overall 819hp (602 kW) output, making Lamborghinis Sian FKP 37 the most powerful road-going Lamborghini yet.
The engine that puts the Sian on the top of the companys food chain is borrowed from the Aventador SVJs smoldering fire, but it adds a 48-volt mild-hybrid system, giving it an overall output of 819 horses. The small amount of additional power that brings the Roadster into play brings the total SiA!n output up to 819 horsepower (602 kW) and allows a top speed of 217 miles per hour. The SiA!n Roadsters electric motor helps until 130 km/h before disconnecting, but helps to make Lamborghini look slicker, plugs gaps in power delivery between gear changes, and also moves its super-exclusive SiA!n backwards and into park. The 48-volt e-motor forms part of the transmission, so it is capable of providing instant response when speeding up, but also allows for low-speed, electric-powered manoeuvres like reversing and parking, Lamborghini explained.
While Lamborghinis Sian Roadster matches the coupes futuristic appearance, the Sian Roadsters roofless design gives those fortunate enough to drive one unhindered access to the sound of its massive V12 engine. The new Sian Roadster uses the same Supercapacitor-enhanced powertrain to achieve this goal, which could be seen as a very small hybrid system dedicated solely to performance rather than economy.
In turn, this seems to also be the first time that supercapacitors have been used at all in hybrids. Unlike a regular 48V system, power is stored from the system not in the lithium battery, but the supercapacitor — a first of its kind. According to Lamborghini, the supercapacitor is three times as powerful as the same-weight battery.
In the video uploaded by Shmee150, we can get an idea what goes into packing up and shipping the Lamborghini Veneno Roadster. If you bought one of the 19 existing Lamborghini SiA!n Roadsters, you are a billionaire. While you could certainly boast of having one of the worlds rarest cars, you probably should not boast that the SiA!n Roadster is hybrid. If you made room in your garage, hanger, or silo for a SiA!n Roadster (or any one of the 63 normal-production SiA!ns that Lamborghini makes), you are not flying on a commercial basis.
It is rarer still than those 63 examples of the SiA!n Coupe, which fly out the door as well. First delivered in Europe, but it could have been shipped anywhere to a customer, and there would have been just 63 cars made, like that of the SVJ 63 Edition. Production will be limited to only 630 examples; however, Ducati will make an additional 63 units specifically for existing Lamborghini customers. With a limited run, every owner will get to choose his or her very own custom colour from the Lamborghini paint house.
All units of the Lamborghini Sian FKP 37, both the coupe and roadster versions, are spoken for, but if you would like to have a go, there is the Lego Technic version you can build yourself. All of the features and equipment for the Roadster version are the same as for the coupe version. The new Sian Roadster is a ridiculously, thoughtlessly gorgeous-looking vehicle, and it is even more stunning to behold than the hardtop Sian that we first saw last year. With the Sian, we are also getting a look into the future of what is going to power these upright-doored beasts.
The Sian Coupe and Roadster represents Lamborghinis first attempt at electrification, which is why the cars are appropriately named: sian means lightning, or lightning, in Bolognese. The end result is the new Sian roadster. Last autumn, Lamborghini debuted a stunningly sexualized limited-edition exotic sports car, the Sian. It was back in 2020, with both brands joining forces for the first time, creating the Lamborghini Ducati Diavel 1260, as an homage to Lamborghinis amazing Sian FKP 37 hypercar.
Even during a global pandemic, Lamborghinis 7-figure V12 hyper sports cars were selling out before news of them was even released. Lamborghini has been less than enthusiastic about the high-speed fight that we are seeing Koenigsegg, Bugatti, Hennessey, and McLaren all getting into. The new Roadster Si, for as much as it has much more to say, epitomizes this philosophy, more than almost anything else we have seen from Lamborghini, save perhaps for 2013s ridiculously overpowered Egoista.
