- The Lamborghini Sian FKP 37 is a 808hp Hybrid supercar with a massive 6.5 litre Naturally Aspirated V12 that sounds glorious. It's spaceship looks are fitting of the hybrid system inside, a world's first Supercapacitor powered hybrid system, that's hidden inside. At between 2-3 million dollars it costs a lot, but it's worth it.
#Lamborghini #LamborghiniSian #V12 #Hybrid
When Lamborghini says you can have a few hours behind the wheel of its first production hybrid supercar, you're not going to let a rainy British winter's day stand in your way. So I find myself in the heart of the British countryside with the keys to the Lamborghini Sian FKP 37 in my hand, and the Millbrook proving ground's alpine test circuit and high-speed bowl at my disposal.
The Sian is a first for Lamborghini: a mild-hybrid supercar. Its name comes from the Bolognese word for lightning. The alphanumeric appendix refers to the initials of former Volkswagen Group head Ferdinand Piech -- the man responsible for bringing Lamborghini into the Group's portfolio -- and 1937, the year of his birth. Only 63 examples will be built, commemorating the incorporation of Automobili Lamborghini in 1963. Naturally, every car is already spoken for.
On sight, the Sian activates all the same neutrons that fired when I first saw a photo of the LP400 Countach. Like all the best Lamborghinis, the Sian's design appears to have been lifted directly from the imagination of an excited child.
But even by normal Lamborghini standards the Sian looks futuristic and wild. Mitja Borkert, Lamborghini's head of design, went out of his way to give the Sian an especially large amount of eye-catching details, with creases and cutouts everywhere, bringing the Sian right up to the line of looking ridiculous without actually crossing it. I mean, it has fins that wouldn't have looked out of place on a 1960s Cadillac Eldorado. It's a bold choice.
The interior, by contrast, is quite restrained -- on the Lambo scale, anyway. The steering wheel is especially spartan with not a single button or switch. The Sian gets the same larger, portrait-oriented infotainment screen as the Huracan Evo, although its positioning is far from convenient, located quite low and far from the dash. Still, it makes the cabin feel more contemporary than that of, say, the Aventador. From the missile-key-style guard for the engine start button to the shapely, 3D-printed housing for the air vents and the illuminated supercapacitor sign, there are still plenty of flourishes to make you and everyone around you think you're driving a spaceship.
But what's most important about the Sian is what's under the skin. The Sian is based on the Aventador SVJ, with an identical chassis and suspension, and the same V12 engine. The Sian, however, adds an electric motor to make this Lamborghini's first production hybrid.
A quick bit of history: In the ancient before-times of 2013 when Ferrari, McLaren and Porsche launched their so-called holy trinity of hybrid supercars, Lamborghini was notably absent. At the time, Lamborghini's then-CEO Stephan Winkelmann dismissed the Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder as compromised and overweight. Adding big, lithium-ion batteries to a supercar simply wasn't on Lambo's roadmap. Fast forward a few years and Lamborghini showed the world how it would enter the world of electrification, debuting the Sian FKP 37 at the 2019 Frankfurt Motor Show.
What's a supercapacitor? Anyone who's pulled apart a broken gadget will have encountered these small cylinders soldered to circuit boards. Their ability to quickly store and deploy large amounts of energy make them great alternatives to batteries when ultra-fast recharge time is a benefit and their quick depletion isn't a problem. A flashlight using a supercapacitor instead of a battery may only run for an hour, but it will recharge in 60 seconds.
The Sian's 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 is the same engine you'll find in the Aventador SVJ, just with titanium inlet valves and some ECU tweaks. In the SVJ, this engines produces 759 hp; in the Sian, 774 hp. Add in the 34 hp from the electric motor and you get to the staggering total output of 808 hp. That's in a car that costs somewhere between $2 million and $3 million, depending on spec, easily four times the sticker price of the Aventador SVJ.
For both cars, accelerating to 62 mph takes 2.8 seconds and their top speeds are a claimed 217 mph. Off the line, the benefits of the Sian's electric motor are minimal. At higher speeds, however, the electric motor fills in the spaces where torque might be lacking, allowing for smoother and quicker acceleration at speed.

This is one of the best channels on the internet hand down!
The first video i watched was of the Aston martin DBS superleggera.
And that was the most beautiful car review ever. I still watch it sometimes.
Been here since near the beginning. You are some of the best out there. Stay awesome!

Fact that it has a V12 in it when engines seem to be getting smaller and smaller, makes me quite happy.

As a huge Lamborghini fan, im pretty happy and proud of Lambo. I just love that they still care about good ol tradition (big ass N/A V12 etc) in the automotive world while simultaneously incorporating that with a very incredible looking over the top body *plus* very high end technology but it all still screams *lambo* They really deserve a lot of credit and props for what they've done and been.
Ferrari actually declared they would never make a totally electric car.
@@netweed09 Nice
Lamborghini is thinking about looking into synthetic fuel.
His description between a battery and a super capacitor and how it applies to a vehicle is actually incredible. Perfect analogies
I love how he's almost yelling at the camera in that thing.
how i feel when talking to two demanding siblings
And that's just while he's pootling around Milbrook..
@@BennettIsAmazing very true
@@BennettIsAmazing 100%. Doubt you could concentrate on the road and talk to the camera at the same time if you have it the beans.
@@lukewalker5111 Yes, but the point is that beautiful 6.5L Italian v12 is roaring even when you're just cruising. I freaking love that so much! If he was going full chat, it would be deafening. That's how it should be hahaha. I love Lamborghini so much.
"The interior is understated"
*sees the most intense combination of leather and carbon friggin fiber I've ever seen*
Me: 🤨
The back looks insane and has some late 70s early 80s vibes. What a beauty!
Yea, they've kept it ''Neo-retro''. Really awesome when Cars do that; because retro was amazing in parts (and ideas), but they obviously didn't have the tech to design the other parts as well or as refined.
Seems like a hybrid system to say “they did it”. They had no intention of taking away from that sweet V12.
🛎
do you have a bonus then (no malus) ?
Henry looks different in this video... must be the beard
😆
It’s because he’s not wearing his glasses.
Off brand Keanu Reeves Vibes
He went to Keto diet.
Yaes
The most expensive thermostat I've ever seen.
It’s the “s-works venge gravel bike with the brain suspension” equivalent of the car world. Just a mix match of know parts with some new stuff that sounds cool but doesn’t improve anything and a new design prologueing lambos future design. Rich people gotta love it
Lol glad I didn’t have to scroll down too far to find this comment. I was like bra, that’s literally the same thing as a thermostat lol
Your right.. hahaha
...oh look, peeps here wanking r/dumbsmart complex to compensate for it's life's inadequacies, intellectually & financially. Such achiEvers lol.
Ohhh it's much more than a thermostat.. The cool thing is the material Lambo used for the system and it's still top secret, meaning not a single journalist who drove the car was explained how the system actually works and which high tech materials were used in it.. Top Gear guy said it him self when talking about the car.
“What strikes you is how invisible that hybrid system feels, leaving the V12 feel untouched”
Yes, a 34hp motor vs a 774hp V12 isn’t exactly going to be noticeable is it...
got em
Right? This is such a Lamborghini thing to do when VW tells them they had to be more environmentally friendly.
tho the toruqe is ~100 vs 700 Nm, but that's still not much difference
At 3000rpm the V12 is only producing 250hp. Electric boost will be felt.
It seems the designers have been playing too much GTA.
I don’t like that it looks too futuristic
@@JeffreyLMW it doesn't
That colour is a miss...🧐
@@JeffreyLMW I like it , it's everything a lamborghini should be , especially considering the state.of ferraris designs recently .
@@paulthomson9709 true true
2:49 Some of that gold paint on that little lever, has chipped off. You can see the usual red color underneath...
Volkswagen plastic baby!
its worth 3 millions 🤐
Lamborghini
It's a pre-production prototype, a lot of the stuff on it is probably not final.
@@derbigpr500 lol
" At between 2-3 million dollars it costs a lot, but it's worth it. "
Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!
Finally good news for naturally aspirated petrol powered supercar lovers, thank you Lamborghini for sounding so good!
Dude repeated himself so many times about the battery system I wish he talked more about the driving experience
He said it drives the same. It’s basically an svj with different styling + supercap.
And he kept sniffing. Hmmm...
Looks like my Swiss Army knife when I pull out the blades, picks, scissors and fork all at once
Mitja Bokert is flexing his pencil skills at lamborghini
His name sounds alien as his pencil skills
I HATE WHAT HE IS DOING TO LAMBORGHINI!! Sian's design is SO IMPERFECT!! Not every supercar with lots of agressive lines is a lamborghini! Every line on a lamborghini is perfectly balanced with all other lines on the car but not in this one. I don't really know if its true or not but i think the production version of urus is also designed by him and one can see how lines on the car are forced to be there, and the front, that just makes no sense design wise!! I think he has also been involved in the design of SVJ which is not really well designed. He will destroy the brand!
He's really good at doing what narcissistic owners wants.
@@axat_sharma Lamborghini has had nothing to do with balance or purity of design since the 1970s. And with the rise of social media, it is officially a brand in VW’s portfolio that is now used to capture the attention of teenagers and the money of non-enthusiasts.
Not saying there’s anything wrong with that; it just is what it is.
Lamborghini didn't have a good looking car since the Aventador is out. Except for one or two Huracans maybe.
So a new skin on a current chassis, same engine, a more civilized interior, and the initials of the founder of the controlling company in the name?
Looks like VW’s assimilation is now complete.
Every "limited" Lambo is just a reskinned Aventador/Murcielago which reveals the output/interior/design of the next generation.
Reventon was just a Murcielago Sv that had Aventador derived design.
Veneno was a Aventador that set the bar for the SV
Centenario was a Aventador SV with SVJ output
And now the Sian is just a SVJ, with an electric motor, which will ultimately be the next gen Aventador.
You will be assimilated, resistance is futile.
Well basically Stephen winkelman approach Bugatti
it's a statement for the v12, that with a light "Fake hybrid" they will make great motors still. It's a good thing, it isn't about this car
It has a supercapacitor. The first supercar to use this technology. And I think currently the only one to be using it as well.
“THE TORQUE FILL MAKES THIS CAR MORE REFINED” - He proclaimed, screaming into the microphone over the road noise.
Hahahahahaha so true. Well it's a Lamborghini for sure!
I just picked up this car for Hot Wheels today and I am glad I did. I looked up this car after the fact (just now) and it looks amazing and I am only 2 mins into the video.
1:09 Pretty sure thats the same coolant reservoir thats in my '98 Jetta
You basically got a Lambo my friend:). Flex on your friends that your Jetta has Lambo parts hehe.
@@rg7968 yep if you were drunk and it was dark outside you could convince people that a 98 Jetta was indeed a Lamborghini.
Pretty sure it sits "up on a pedestal" like that to make a point, it is after all named after Piech.
Age old tradition of supercars! 😂
34 bhp, talk about a gesture just to sell another limited edition of an existing platform. Churn!
Did you watch the rest of the video?
@@ronin84 yeah it was great, but Lamborginis motive isn't!
I like the existing platform better than heavier hybrids.
@@Ian-vo3vl Selling cars to make money?? What part of that is not great. Their target customer base can clearly afford these cars and do love buying them so what's the problem??
They have been begging VW group for new v12 budget (something close to 1.5billion) for last 3 years. Until they get it, they are milking aventador platform to stay in the news
“Look carefully” I don’t think I can without hurting my eyes
Beautifully shot video!!! Thanks for the upload!!
The germans have really taken over, naming a Lamborghini from a german executive is not really... Lamborghini.
Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that
before was crap anyway mate.... stop nagging.
@@glorious_help So are we expecting a Jaguar Gandhi and a Range Rover SJNT for Sir Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata🤣
Are you by any chance, alsatian?
@@Ghitza.von.Pigsty a dog?
1:35 This thing is freaking sweet from that view.
These hybrid systems using super capacitors might be a great way to help the ice stay with us until and beyond synthetics become widely available. The lack of weight, quick reuse of energy otherwise lost and refrain from being too noticeable in the driving experience should prove quite desirable in the future.
I’m furthermore quite hopeful that these systems remain manual-compatible, saving another important part of the automotive world.
Drew is back! I was getting worried. Really thought provoking review.
Awesome review. I felt like a student in a science class learning about a topic I really care about. Good job professor!
Looks like a Veneno from, like, 15 years ago
Yeah man , coz the veneno was brought to earth by the aliens 👽
Another fantastic video as usual lads :)
What a STUNNING car! Very well done on the video. Thank you! BTW this is the type of hybrid I'm talking about! Well done Lamborghini!
@Carfection what an incredibly beautifully articulated review!! Also, despite the conditions you drove that Lambo like a demon! Top work!
Thanks!
Great analysis and presentation of the technology. I like what you guys do and what Lamborghini is doing to utilize that second gen. V12.
I couldn’t agree more about that cooling system. Such a clever and cool touch
Great descriptions! Good content
I love this car. I had no idea it had a hybrid V12. Absolutely insane.
Just to flex on y’all I have the lego version 😱😱😱 jk
so you don't even have the lego version?
@@colinhare6963 i do have it lol and I always have it in the background when I’m filming lol
@@TheCarKrazeOfficial that's really cool
aventador is one of my favorite looking cars ever, Sian is very similar and might make for a great lego car to own
@@colinhare6963 I agree! The Aventador in my opinion is the best looking car in the world and it’s my #1 dream car and the lego set is so great! Although it’s very expensive and I modified the rear deck lid of my Sián and made it open realistically like the real car and it’s the only one in the world!
I'm definitely subscribing, great content 👌
Very nice review with detailled explanations. Thank you!
Oh man, my designer's ocd stack-overflowed the moment i saw the off-centre engine placement
Sian literally means bored or miserable where i’m from 😂
😂😂
Sian literally translates to lightning tho. But like how fucking cool is that?!
So basically you've just said this Car makes where you're from look stupid?
I love how he took the video in different angles and the lighting looks good despite the natural lighting! Keep up the good work 😇👍🏻
Great video, Drew 👍
The marriage of Aventador and golf cart
Aventa-Fore!
Supercapacitors: as exciting as the regen braking in every mazda with i-eloop
Truly amazing. Love it 👍👍
This video is unreal! I wasn't sure if I liked how this car looked at first but it has grown on me a ton.
So what I’m hearing is there’s lots of road noise
Yes, but sadly not enough to drown out the presenter.
@@sorenlindberg8816 lol yeah i was expecting a lap of str8 car noise instead i got male "Velma" from scooby doo
Is it possible to put the 'supercapacitor' mechanism in this car into, say, a regular sedan/truck? How cost-effective is it for the car and the smoothness of the ride, and the speed/acceleration? Interested in someone's thoughts on that
Finally i found the proper future top gear 😊😊😊

Great review!
So basically it’s the first real life car that has a regenerating Super Mario Kart Mushroom 🍄
I actually really like this one, I like how the lines resemble Countach and and they flow into each other on the sides, cool look
Great to see this beautiful beast fiery on the asphalt. I think this is first time I have seen Siân in this in depth review. ❤❤❤
Good review, informative! 👌🏼
Great review, absolutely love it.
A Lamborghini with a v12 and an electric powertrain is as much overkill as a man wearing two watches.
Yeah what's worse is a man wearing two watches, driving a Lamborghini V12 with an electric motor...
Where's the drone shots gentle music and the soft but powerful voice of Henry. That is what is needed for this car !
I did like the airbed comparison. Great video.
IM IN LOVE WITH THIS SUPER CAPACTOR !! I WANT ONE BECAUSE IT KEEPS THE SOUND AND IMPROVES PERFORMANCE.. THANK YOU LAMBO
I feel like this super capacitor should have an option to work kinda like a nitrous valve allowing you to utilise its power as you please
but then you really realize how useless a 34hp motor is. that is like a starter motor of a truck lol
Incredible!
One of the most beautiful Lamborghini's ever created. . .🤩😍🤗🥰💯
The FKP 37 reference is only applicable if you have Ferdinand Piech's face tattooed on your chest
"more affordable Lamborghinis" Good one! XD
Bloody love Lamborghini. Keep doing what you're doing
Wow, I love the direction & thinking of Lamborghini
Been a while since we last see Drew
Yeah dude just rocks up out of nowhere like what ? Been wondering where he is all this time
I don't like the car, yet love the video!
I missed Mr 2 Watch on the channel, glad to see you mate, now if we can get baldy back too that would be nice. Cheers btw
Great car, he seems to be over-excited whilst reviewing it. Good video and info, and long live V12s!!!
This is perfect review about SIAN
why is he sitting so close to the steering wheel? he looks like he’s driving a yacht lol
I noticed that too plus the yelling
He’s standing up in it, he’s only 3ft tall.
@@kyle618 it‘s loud in there as you might hear?! So he has to speak louder/yell? Gosh people are dumb
That’s how you’re supposed to drive fast cars, check out Elfyn Evan’s driving position
This thing looks concept car levels of cool. The headlights are just outrageous.
Excellent video.
The continued use of their v12 engine... like the continued use of the same video footage over and over again.
The gas mileage is horrendous. The Porsche Turbo S has half the cylinders and is much faster. Lamborghini is just lagging tbh
@@johnbaptist5622 why don‘t people try to understand, that there is more than FAST faster fastest?!
The Lego model is the closest I'll ever come to owning this car😭
And the lego model is complete shite 😂 overpriced and of poor quality
Wow,Wow, V12 Lamborghini hybrid...Great.🌜😎🌛
amazing video
For a Carfection presenter, this guy just talks too fast. Here, he sounds like a Jeremy.
Strange...was too slow for me. I watched on 1.5x
@@JohnEarleBand 😂😂 to each their own hey
Jeremy is great tho
So the electric motor is only adding 34hp? That’s disappointing.
I mean it's not a plug in hybrid
Somebody didn't watch properly. It's powered by a super capacitor, not a battery, so instantaneous and 1/3 the weight. The motor is in the gearbox also which makes it more effective.
@@Homerlovesbeer2 Aventador svj is already pretty heavy
This really amazing and powerful 💪💪 I love it
That’s impressive 👍🏻loving the design of it too 🥰🥳
Why is this still a single clutch gearbox?
Lighter I'm guessing and the motor helps smooth the transition
Cause the sian is based on the aventador which is basically a 10 year old car at this point. They aren't gonna make a whole new power unit and transmission just for a super limited run of cars
Because they physically cannot fit a dual clutch without reworking the chassis........that electric motor in the tranny to smooth it out is slick,
lamborghini said the difference in speed from a dual clutch does not make up for the weight compromise
This is basically lamborghini catering to rich Arabs. They know the only people who will buy this are Arab princesses, sorry princes, who have more money than they could ever spend
sorry but Henry would have been better for this episode......
Yup, never liked this guy..... and he’s no wheelman.
Didn't even know there was another person lol
Henry was prob too tall to drive it
You should be sorry for lack of capital letter at the start of your sentence too...
@@zuti071 'the lack of a capital letter'
WHOA! :O, I always waited for the day that I would see the Aventador SVJ review from Cerfection but this just COMPLETELY BLEW MY MIND 🤯
Those wheels are art 😍
Idk why but I'm just not impressed by this new Lamborghini. Hybrid or not.
Because its not impressive. Its hideous, busy, tired engineering, and has a stupid name
@@Mr888rM usually I wouldn’t agree, but you’re absolutely right. In fact, you nailed it. I have no desire to make this my wallpaper on my phone like I did the SVJ. It’s just... bleh.
Yes, you are right. The proportion of the graphic styling of the car is unrefined. The lines added are unrefined and dont work with each other throughout the car at all, lamborghinis have never had imperfect lines, all of the lines and surfaces are well thought of and refined. But this one? Design features are just forced onto the car and then are somehow connected with some lines just as a kid would do who doesn't have much experience.
I feel you. This car has no excitement factor. Lamborghini don't know what to do to remain competitive.
This car is boring tbh. Just a reskin of the Aventador. I've always thought Lamborghinis were for rich guys trying to overcompensate for their small dicks
"There are references to the Countach" man, I absolutely love Lamborghini, but everyone single of them has all the Countach lines, the shapes and even the graphics. They are just like a higher resolution picture, but they are essentially the same
That dude is pure physical comedy! :D :D :D
I’ve enjoyed the video, BUT repeating the same images 4/5 times seems like the Camera crew had almost ZERO time to film it runnin’…nevertheless it’s an outstanding creation! Thank You Carfection and Thank You Lamborghini for making such an amazing creation!! 👏🏻
I hope this isn't what they plan to replace the avendator with
Did you even watch the video? You think they only plan to sell 63 of their next flagship vehicle?
@@creamwobbly because it looks like ass
Not that it would affect your purchase plans either
AHEM.... the aventador SVJ is no longer the record holder at the ring....
It never was
Absolutely love it well done Lamborghini a very clever way of keeping that wonderful V12 🤙🏿
finally a Lamborghini, that's an Lamborghini again! :o car looks CRAZY! :o
