Lamborghini has dominated the extravagant supercar segment for a seriously long time. While the Italian automaker does compete directly with Ferrari, the two brands could not be more apart. While Ferraris are elite and classy, Lamborghinis are loud and proud.
Building on the popularity and success of the Lamborghini Huracan, the Italian supercar giant decided it was time to launch something new and modern. This resulted in the new Lamborghini Sian. This Lamborghini was modern in every sense of the word. From its manufacturing process to its hybrid engine, the supercar was designed to lead the supercar market into the future.

Lamborghinis have become incredibly popular over the last few years. While this is mainly due to the massive success of the Lamborghini Huracan, the high-performance models have remained in demand throughout the years as well.
The Lamborghini Sian sought to elevate the Italian brand by creating a modern, hybrid supercar. In addition to being the first hybrid production car, Lamborghini also took the opportunity to create the fastest and most powerful Lamborghini ever made. The Sian can produce a combined 808 HP, with 34 HP coming from the electric motor.
9 Aggressive New Design
Lamborghinis are known for their overly aggressive designs. However, the Sian comes with a modern take on Lamborghini’s classic design language. The Lamborghini Sian comes with an incredibly wide stance that includes massive air intakes on either side of the car.
The Lamborghini Sian is deeply inspired by the Countach. This is because the new supercar features sharp lines and aerodynamic elegance throughout the exterior of the supercar. The interior of the Sian also features a modern setup that includes digital displays for both the driver and the passenger in the center console.
8 Luxury Italian Craftmanship
While the Lamborghini Sian is designed to be the most powerful Lamborghini ever made, the automaker did not shy away from craftmanship. The interior of the Sian is built for luxury as it includes high-quality finishes throughout the cabin.
The interior of the Sian features bucket seats and a variety of other Y-shaped elements. The Y-shaped elements and hexagonal shapes are all over the interior of the car, adding incredible amounts of detail to the cabin.
7 Mild-Hybrid Architecture
The powertrain of the Lamborghini Sian is based on brand-new hybrid technology. As the first-ever hybrid supercar to come from the Italian automaker, the Sian features a 34 HP electric motor that pairs with a massive 774 HP V12 engine.
This works in harmony to create a total output of 808 HP and 557 lb-ft of torque. The hybrid technology featured in the Sian is a mild-hybrid system. This means that you don’t need to charge a battery to drive the electric motor as the car will automatically manage the electrical motor for optimal efficiency and performance.
6 Roadster Model
The Lamborghini Sian comes in both a two-door coupe as well as a roadster model. The Sian Roadster features the same powerful hybrid engine but lacks a bit of performance. While the standard model can accelerate from 0 to 62 in 2.8 seconds, Lamborghini states that the Roadster model can do this in 2.9 seconds.
The Roadster model is an open-top, making it one of the only open-top hybrid supercars on the market today. The Roadster model also takes design cues from the Countach, with the same design lines on either side of the engine.
5 Modern Interior
While many other brands cut down on the luxury interior to save weight, the Lamborghini Sian goes in another direction. The Sian features ample amounts of leather, Alcantara, and other soft-touch materials throughout the interior of the car.
In addition to this, the Sian comes with the latest in auto technology from Lamborghini. This includes massive digital displays for the driver and center console but also includes a modern engine management system and drive modes.
4 Carbon Fiber
Some supercars feature a carbon fiber chassis while others add a few carbon-fiber tips and panels. However, the Lamborghini Sian comes with a body that’s entirely made from carbon fiber. This helps lower the overall weight of the supercar and improve its performance.
While much of the carbon fiber is covered around the car, Lamborghini does leave some of the carbon exposed. This is most prominent around the front end of the car as the exposed carbon adds to the general look of the supercar.
3 Impressive Performance
The Lamborghini Sian comes with a massive 6.5-liter V12 engine that is paired with a 34 HP electric motor. This allows the hybrid supercar to accelerate from 0 to 62 miles per hour in just 2.8 seconds. The supercar is also electronically limited to 220 miles per hour, making it one of the most powerful supercars on the market.
The Sian sustains this acceleration as it can reach 100 miles an hour in just 5.4 seconds and 124 miles an hour in 8 seconds. If you’re thinking of taking the Lamborghini Sian for a drag, it can demolish the quarter mile in 10.2 seconds.
2 Electronically Controlled All-Wheel-Drive
The Lamborghini Sian includes a dynamic all-wheel-drive system. This allows the supercar to send power to all four wheels. The all-wheel-drive system included in the Sian is electronically controlled. This means that the car can send different amounts of power to different wheels.
This kind of control is perfect for performance vehicles as the electronics allow drivers to take more speed into every corner. This technology is increasingly popular for supercars as it provides the extra grip needed for performance driving.
1 Bespoke Customization
While the Lamborghini Sian is an incredibly rare car, the Italian automaker still allows owners to customize their supercars. The exterior of the car can even be configured to remove all the paint and leave all the carbon fiber in the car completely exposed.
The interior of the hybrid supercar can also be customized to include a variety of different materials and finishes. This includes an innovative leather option that has been specifically designed for the Sian FKP 37.
