Lamborghini London celebrates delivery of the Lamborghini Sian

Lamborghini London celebrated the arrival of two Lamborghini Sian models in the U.K. this month with a world-first twin photoshoot. Only three units of the Sian - of 63 produced in total - will be delivered to U.K. customers, and Lamborghini London is responsible for the sale of all of them.

The Sian is the most powerful and fastest accelerating Lamborghini ever produced, using a world-first hybrid supercapacitor powertrain, combining a 6.5-litre V12 engine with a 48V e-motor delivering a total of 808bhp, accelerating from zero to 100km/h in 2.8 seconds and on to a top speed of over 349km/h.

Unlike traditional lithium-ion battery storage, which can be heavy and slow to charge, the Sian uses a lightweight supercapacitor that is fully charged every time the vehicle brakes. With the entire e-motor and supercapacitor system weighing in at just 34kg, it is three times more powerful than a battery of the same weight and three times lighter than a battery storing the same power.

With its carbon-fibre monocoque, titanium intake valves, active aerodynamics and rear-wheel steering, the Sian employs cutting-edge technology everywhere and not only in the world's first supercapacitor hybrid system.

Each of the 63 Sians will be individually styled by their owners in conjunction with Lamborghini's design centre and Ad Personam personalisation department and the first two Lamborghini London customers have opted for contrasting personalities. The lighter of the two is finished in a Grigio Nimbus with exposed carbon weave roof and Rosso Mars accents, complemented by a Nero Ade interior with Rosso Alala contrasts.

The darker Sian has been personalised with a Nero Helene bodywork set off by exposed carbon fibre on the bonnet, front lamp inserts fenders and engine cover. Additional highlights are finished in Oro Electrum, which is also used within the alloy wheels, themselves set within bespoke Pirelli tyres, with white detailing. The interior mirrors the striking bodywork, with Nero Ade base leather and Oro Electrum stitching and highlights.
