The Sián was unveiled in September 2019 as Lamborghini’s first hybrid production car, and now it’s been joined by a drop-top version with 350km/h of hair-ruffling pace.
Like the hardtop coupé model, the limited-edition Roadster pairs a 577kW petrol V12 engine with a 48V electric motor that supplies an additional 25kW for a total output of 602kW, and the pace is suitably electrifying: the mid-engined two-seater is claimed to blitz the 0-100km/h sprint in under 2.9 seconds.
Storing the electric power is a supercapacitor that’s three times more powerful than a lithium-ion battery of the same weight and three times lighter. It also has a brake regeneration system. The car is painted a special “Blu Uranus” blue and the wheels are ”Oro Electrum”, a colour chosen by Lamborghini to signify electrification.
