The Lamborghini Sian FKP 37 is a Supercapacitor HybridThe Sian FKP 37, by Lamborghini's standards it's a wild car. It's among the first hybrid cars to make use of supercapacitors.The Sian is powered by an emotor with a horsepower of 34 hp integrated into the automated manual gearbox, which can reach 80 miles per hour. Then, the V-12 controls the car. This system makes the car more efficient and allows it to accelerate instantly.Forged CompositesThe Sian's hybrid system has another trick up its sleeves: Supercapacitors. It's able to recharge faster than lithium-ion batteries and the car can be driven for up to 63 minutes using only electric power.Lamborghini's composites that are forged are the key to making this happen and the material could eventually be used in regular production cars. It starts as a sheet of uncured plastic that is mixed with random lengths of carbon fiber strands. It's not as attractive as carbon fibers that are pre-impregnated in resin, but it's more flexible and lighter.To bring the forged carbon fiber into a shape, workers simply cut off the correct amount of mass, place it in a hot press mold, then press it with heat. It takes only a few minutes complete, whereas it may take several hours to make the same part using traditional methods.It's not clear whether we'll see structurally forged composite parts in production cars, but Lamborghini claims its manufacturing-friendly nature means that it could eventually make its way into cheaper products. It's certainly costly already, but if the manufacturing process can be scaled up, it could reduce costs in terms of both materials and labor. Forged composite is also more flexible than carbon fiber woven, so engineers can create intricate shapes without adding huge costs or weight.Carbon SkinThe Lamborghini Sian has a futuristic, sleek design that maximizes aerodynamic efficiency. The long, sculpted lines of the Lamborghini Sian as well as its distinctive aero wings create a powerful profile. Its low front and integrated splitter made of carbon fiber are also designed to improve stability. The Y-shaped headlights and hexagonal forms are classic Lamborghini features that further emphasize the distinctive style of the car. The interior is a mix of luxurious Italian craftsmanship and the latest technology. The driver's seat and dashboard are covered in a distinct material called Carbon Skin, which is adjustable thanks to the Ad Personam program.The hybrid system from Sian is powered by supercapacitors that combine the power and efficiency of an electric motor along with a lithium battery that is 48-volts. Its rapid-fire torque fills in gaps in acceleration, while its regenerative braking recharges the battery. This allows the Sian to travel for longer distances on a single tank of gas.Comparing it to a lithium-ion conventional battery, Sian's supercapacitor has three times more power and recharges in just 60 seconds. It is also lighter and more compact. The supercapacitor, located in the bulkhead which divides the engine compartment from the cabin, is powered by a motor of 34 horsepower that is located to the rear of the automatic transmission.The Lamborghini Sian is based on the Aventador SVJ, which means it comes with the same earth-shattering V12 engine as the Aventador. It shares the same chassis, suspension and four-wheel drive. However, the Sian's unique hybrid powertrain is its biggest selling point.Ad PersonamLamborghini has come up with its first hybrid vehicle with the Sian. It's a bold statement. The latest creation of the raging bull makes use of supercapacitor technology to bring the power-to-weight ratio closer to the level of a amazing V-12 engine.For the most loyal customers of Lamborghini they can avail the chance to completely personalize the car through the Ad Personam program. This covers everything from leathers to exterior and interior finishes, as well as specific paint colors, all of which must meet the brand's strict quality standards.A complete spec sheet is available on the internet. You can also arrange an appointment at the Sant'Agata Bolognese headquarters, or by using an online studio. The virtual studio was developed in order that customers from all across the globe could get a customized spec with the team without having to travel to Sant'Agata.The name Sian is the Bolognese word for lightning, and it's an ode to Lamborghini's heritage and its future. The alphanumeric suffix FKP 37 is in honor of Ferdinand Karl Piech, the man who brought Lamborghini into the Volkswagen Group family and died shortly before the Sian's debut. Only 63 models were manufactured and are now sold out.TheKeyLab is based off the Aventador SVJ. It has the same V12, chassis and suspension. However, it has an electric motor of a smaller size to make it a hybrid. It can operate on electric power only at lower speeds, and utilize the gasoline engine for acceleration when needed.The electric motor is powered by a capacitor that is located in the bulkhead, between the cabin and the engine compartment. It is three times more powerful and lighter than batteries of the same weight. The system recharges on the move via regenerative braking and doesn't require to be connected to an electrical grid. The emotor helps fill the torque gap for upshifts so that the car can go 10 percent faster than it would without it.Lamborghini says the design of the hybrid Sian is meant to convey the feeling of raw open-top energy. The exterior is a mix of orange paint and carbon fiber and the roof is a glass-based section that was inspired by the Periscopio on the early Countach prototypes. Other highlights include aluminum details painted in Oro Electrum, which is the color Lamborghini uses to identify its hybrid cars.Mitja Borkert, Lamborghini’s head of design, has created the cockpit for Sian. It's a bit more wild than usual for Lamborghini with a lot of cutouts and creases. It's a car that is almost ridiculous in appearance, but still very eye-catching. The information display is vertically oriented and has a buttonless steering with massive paddle shifters.
