Lamborghini Sián Kicks Off Lambo’s Hybrid Era with 807 HP and a 218-MPH Top Speed

• Lamborghini's Sián (the name means "lightning") will be produced as a limited edition of 63, all of which are already sold.
• The V-12—powered hybrid makes 807 horsepower with combined thermal and electric power, including what Lamborghini claims is the world's first use of a supercapacitor in a hybrid.
• Lamborghini claims a zero-to-62-mph time of less than 2.8 seconds and a top speed of 217 mph.

After eight years, the Lamborghini Aventador isn’t done shocking the world with its jagged-edge design and flame-throwing exhaust. Like the Veneno and Centenario, the new Sián
is a hypercar built off a heavily-modified Aventador—only now, it’s a hybrid.

That the Sian’s electric motor contributes but 34 horsepower to an 807-hp powertrain is the one eye-rolling, shoulder-shrugging reaction we first had to this car. Hey, Buick and its LaCrosse eAssist did a hell of a lot less with, well, a hell of a lot less than Lamborghini is boasting with this car.
