The Lamborghini Sian FKP 37 is a Supercapacitor Hybrid By Lamborghini standards, the Sian FKP 37 is a wild car. It's also one of the first hybrid production cars to utilize a supercapacitor. A 34-hp electric motor built into the manual auto transmission powers the Sian for speeds up to 80 mph, when the V-12 is in charge. This makes the car more efficient and allows it to accelerate instantly. Forged Composites The hybrid system of Sian has another trick up its sleeve – a supercapacitor battery. It's capable of charging faster than lithium-ion batteries and the car can be driven for up to 63 minutes with only electric power. Lamborghini's forged composites are the key to making this happen The material could eventually be used in regular production cars. It's uncured plastic, which is then mixed with short lengths of carbon fiber that are randomly placed strands. It's not as gorgeous as pre-woven carbon fiber sheets that are pre-impregnated but it's lighter and stiffer. To bring the forged carbon fiber to form, users simply cut off the appropriate amount of mass, put it in the hot press mold, and squeeze it under the heat. It takes only a few minutes, but it could take up to a day to make the exact part using traditional methods. Lamborghini claims that its material for manufacturing could lead to cheaper products in the future. The cost of materials and labor is a bit high however, if you could expand the manufacturing process and save money, you can make a difference. Forged composites are also more flexible than carbon fiber weave and can be fashioned into complex shapes without the need to add weight or expense. Carbon Skin The Lamborghini Sian has a futuristic elegant design that maximizes aerodynamic efficiency. The long, sculpted contours and distinctive aero wings create a powerful profile, while its low front and carbon fiber splitter improve stability. The Y-shaped lights on the front and hexagonal designs, which are Lamborghini classics are a great addition to the car's distinctive style. The interior is a combination of luxurious Italian craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology. The driver's seat and dashboard are covered in a distinct material called Carbon Skin, which is customizable with the Ad Personam program. The hybrid system from Sian is powered with a supercapacitor, which combines the power and efficiency of an electric motor with a lithium battery of 48 volts. The speedy-fire torque fills gaps in acceleration, and its regenerative brake recharges the battery. The Sian can travel further on a single gas tank. Comparing to a typical lithium-ion battery The Sian's supercapacitor battery is three times more efficient and can be charged in just 63 seconds. It is also smaller and lighter. The supercapacitor is housed in the bulkhead that is between the engine compartment and the cabin which is powered by a electric 34-hp motor that is attached to the rear of the vehicle's automatic transmission. The Lamborghini Sian is based on the Aventador SVJ, which means it has the same rumbling V12 engine as the model. It has the same chassis, suspension and four-wheel drive. The Sian's hybrid powertrain is what makes it stand out. Ad Personam The Sian Lamborghini's very first hybrid vehicle and it's an impressive statement of purpose. The latest creation of the raging bull utilizes supercapacitor technology to bring the power-to-weight ratio down to a more manageable level without compromising its incredible V-12 engine power. lamborghini key is a program that allows Lamborghini to customize vehicles for its most loyal customers. The Ad Personam program permits customers to customize their vehicle to meet their specific specifications. A complete specification sheet can be viewed online, and a consultation can be scheduled either at the Sant'Agata Bolognese headquarters or through a virtual studio. This was developed to allow customers from all over the world to attend a custom spec session with the team without needing to travel all the way to Sant'Agata. The name Sian is the Bolognese word for lightning, and is a nod to Lamborghini's heritage and its future. The alphanumeric suffix FKP 37 honors Ferdinand Karl Piech, the man who brought Lamborghini into the Volkswagen Group family and died just before the Sian's introduction. Only 63 examples were built and all are being spoken for. Specs The Sian is inspired by the Aventador SVJ, so it comes with the same V12 as well as the same chassis and suspension. But it also adds an electric motor that is small to make it hybrid. It can run on electric power at lower speeds, and utilize gasoline engines to accelerate whenever needed. The electric motor is powered by a supercapacitor that is located in the bulkhead between the cabin and the engine compartment. It is three times more powerful and lighter than a battery that has the same weight. The system recharges itself on the go by regenerative brakes. This means there's no need to connect it to an electrical grid. The emotor fills the torque gap in the upshifts, so that the car is able to accelerate 10 percent faster than without it. Lamborghini claims that the design of its hybrid Sian is designed to convey an open-top feeling of pure energy. The exterior features a blend of orange paint and carbon fiber as well as the roof, which is a glass section inspired by the Periscopio on early Countach prototypes. Other highlights include aluminum detailing, which is painted in Oro Electrum. This is the color Lamborghini uses for its hybrid cars. Mitja Borkert, Lamborghini's head of design has created the cockpit for Sian. The car is a little more wild than usual for Lamborghini with its numerous creases and cuts. It's not far from going from being a bit sloppy to looking ridiculous, but it's still an eye-catching car. The infotainment display is oriented vertically and features a buttonless steering with huge paddle shifters.
