# Lamborghini Sián: A Game-Changer in Hybrid Supercars - Link: https://greenlivingguy.com/2019/09/lamborghini-sian-a-game-changer-in-hybrid-supercars/ - Published: 2019-09-07T22:09:04-04:00 - Author: greenlivingguy ## Lamborghini Sián: A Glimpse into the Electrified Future of Supercars ### Unveiling a New Era of Hybrid Performance September 2019 marks a pivotal moment in automotive history. Lamborghini unveils its first-ever hybrid supercar, the Sián. This limited-edition masterpiece blends raw power with cutting-edge electrification. #### Pushing the Boundaries of Hybrid Technology The Sián introduces a groundbreaking supercapacitor-based hybrid system. This innovative technology delivers instant power and improved performance. Consequently, [Lamborghini](https://greenlivingguy.com/2019/03/take-it-from-me-we-all-can-do-better-for-ourselves-and-the-world-with-some-more-insulation-and-air-sealing/) sets a new standard for hybrid supercars. #### Unparalleled Power and Acceleration At the heart of the Sián lies a formidable 6.5-liter V12 engine. Combined with the electric motor, it produces a staggering 819 horsepower. As a result, the Sián accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in a mere 2.8 seconds. Design that Defies Convention Lamborghini’s designers push the envelope with the Sián’s aesthetics. Sharp angles and bold lines dominate its futuristic silhouette. Moreover, the iconic Y-shaped headlights pay homage to the legendary Terzo Millennio concept. #### Limited Production, Unlimited Exclusivity Only 63 units of the Sián will ever grace the roads. This exclusivity ensures its status as an instant collector’s item. Unsurprisingly, all units were sold before the public unveiling. #### A Sustainable Step Forward The Sián’s hybrid powertrain represents Lamborghini’s commitment to sustainability. It reduces CO2 emissions without compromising performance. Therefore, it paves the way for future eco-friendly supercars. ### Regenerative Braking Reimagined Lamborghini engineers develop an innovative regenerative braking system. It fully charges the supercapacitor during deceleration. Consequently, the Sián always has access to a power boost when needed. ### The Name Says It All “Sián” means “flash” or “lightning” in Bolognese dialect. This name perfectly encapsulates the car’s electrifying performance and design. It also hints at Lamborghini’s electrified future. #### Setting New Industry Standards The Sián’s introduction sends shockwaves through the automotive world. It proves that hybrid technology can enhance, rather than hinder, supercar performance. As a result, competitors scramble to catch up. ### A Glimpse into Lamborghini’s Future While the Sián is a limited-edition model, its technology will influence future Lamborghinis. The company plans to hybridize its entire lineup by 2024. Therefore, the Sián serves as a thrilling preview of what’s to come. #### Bridging Tradition and Innovation Lamborghini strikes a delicate balance with the Sián. It maintains the brand’s heritage of high-performance V12 engines. Simultaneously, it embraces the electric future of automotive technology. ### The Road Ahead As 2019 draws to a close, the Sián stands as a testament to Lamborghini’s innovation. It proves that the future of supercars is both electrifying and exhilarating. Consequently, automotive enthusiasts eagerly anticipate what Lamborghini will unveil next. 1[https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a28910843/lamborghini-sian-hybrid-photos-info/](https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a28910843/lamborghini-sian-hybrid-photos-info/) 2 [https://www.topgear.com/car-news/supercars/lamborghinis-new-819bhp-sian-its-fastest-car-ever](https://www.topgear.com/car-news/supercars/lamborghinis-new-819bhp-sian-its-fastest-car-ever) 3https://www.motortrend.com/news/lamborghini-sian-hybrid-supercar-first-look-review/ #### Finally [Lamborghini Sián](https://greenlivingguy.com/2019/09/of-all-places-best-charging-spots-for-hotels-in-capital-district-of-new-york/) means flash or lightning in Bolognese dialect. As [Engaget](https://www.engadget.com/2019/09/10/lamborghini-sian-hybrid-unveil/) added: The first electrified Lamborghini doesn’t disappoint. #### ![Lamborghini Sian hybrid](https://i0.wp.com/greenlivingguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/img_0929-e1567911149641.png?resize=200%2C133&quality=50&ssl=1 "Lamborghini Sián: A Glimpse into the Electrified Future of Supercars") In conclusion, it’s a mild hybrid electric vehicle. That comes with a 48 volt e- motor delivering 34 hp and incorporated directly into the gearbox. So it provides immediate response and improved performance. Also it’s the first time in a low-voltage hybrid that’s connected between an [electric motor](https://greenlivingguy.com/2014/05/tesla-tells-toyota-to-buy-batteries-and-electric-motors-somewhere-else/) and wheels. The e-motor also supporting low-speed maneuvers such as reversing and parking with electric power. In conclusion, the innovative system delivers instant acceleration in low gears. Thereby the traction force is improved by up to 10% in third gear. So I am saying the up to 80 miles per hour acceleration time is improved by 0.2 seconds. In addition, the [electric motor](https://greenlivingguy.com/2022/06/acura-motorsports-new-electric-acura-arx-06-lmdh-prototype-to-race-in-the-imsa-weathertech-sportscar-championship/) increases traction force by up to 20% during higher gears and lower speeds!
