With only 63 units of the Lamborghini Sián available, despite the rather steep price, they were sold out before the public even saw the car in real life, and later Automobili Lamborghini SpA unveiled the Sián Roadster, but this time just 19 units would be made, as an homage to 1963 being the year Automobili Lamborghini SpA was founded by the late Ferruccio Lamborghini, rumor had it the Roadster was available at the same price as the Coupe, and just as with the Veneno Roadster and Centenario Roadster before her, the Sián Roadster didn’t have any kind of roof whatsoever, this was again a true Barchetta, meant to be driven topless all the time.

With the production of the Lamborghini Aventador coming to a halt recently, remember the Sián is based on the Aventador, and the fact we’ve been seeing the new Lamborghini Countach LPI800-4 being road-tested as we speak, it shouldn’t come as a surprise the very last Lamborghini Sián, a Roadster, has just been delivered to her lucky owner, in a post on March 12 by Mitja Borkert (@mitjaborkert) on Instagram, he confirms the final unit left the factory floor, finished in a stunning Verde Selvans that fades into clear carbon fiber towards the rear over a Nero and Verde interior, the car looks absolutely beautiful, in fact, the clear coat over the visible carbon fiber was infused with green glitter for an over more impressive effect.

Keeping in mind the entire Centro Stile was involved in each and every unit of the Lamborghini Sián, all of the 63 coupes and the 19 Roadster, it must have been a special day seeing the last one driving away with the proud owner behind the wheel, Mitja even stated it was like seeing a child going out into the world, and one sentence in his IG post really caught our interest … Mitja states that one day, all 63 Sián Coupe and all 19 Sián Roadster will reunite to create a color explosion, I for one can’t wait for that to happen … perhaps at the 60th anniversary in 2023?

I just couldn’t resist creating this car in our Virtual Car Configurator, or at least how I think she looks, as I didn’t have any real interior photos to go by, but if she looks like the renders below, I’m sure she’s an absolutely stunning car in real life, also, keep in mind you can still create your very own virtual Lamborghini Sián Coupe, Sián Roadster, Huracán STO, or Countach LPI800-4 in our Virtual Car Configurator, but for now, enjoy my renders on the final Lamborghini Sián Roadster to leave the factory in Sant’Agata:

The post It’s official, the last Lamborghini Sian is delivered appeared first on LamboCars.

• Limited edition Roadster version of visionary V12 super sports car, combining groundbreaking hybrid technologies and design
• Roadster features Lamborghini Sián’s world-first use of super capacitor in hybrid solution and unique materials-science application
• Producing combined thermal and electric power of 819 hp (602 kW): roofless version of the most powerful Lamborghini ever produced
• Low weight-to-power ratio of 2.0 kg/hp, acceleration 0-100 km/h in under 2.9 seconds and a top speed of over 350 km/h
• Produced in a limited series of 19 units: all already sold

Automobili Lamborghini presents the Lamborghini Sián Roadster: a limited edition, open-top hybrid super sports car engineered around Lamborghini’s iconic V12 engine, with unique hybrid technologies and delivering unsurpassed Lamborghini and hybrid performance. The roofless design of the Sián Roadster puts an exclusive group of drivers in one of the most spectacular cockpits ever: always open to the sky; resonating with the inimitable V12 sound from the most powerful Lamborghini engine to date; and experiencing extraordinary performance while reveling in the Sián Roadster’s role in Lamborghini’s route to future hybridization.

“The Sián Roadster encapsulates the spirit of Lamborghini,” says Stefano Domenicali, Automobili Lamborghini Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “It is the expression of breathtaking design and extraordinary performance, but most importantly embodies important future technologies. The Sián’s innovative hybrid powertrain heralds the direction for Lamborghini super sports cars, and the open-top Sián Roadster affirms a desire for the ultimate lifestyle Lamborghini as we move towards a tomorrow demanding new solutions.”

The Sián Roadster makes its debut in Blu Uranus, especially selected by Lamborghini’s Centro Stile, which together with the Ad Personam department works with every Sián client to entirely personalize the color and finish of their Roadster. Encapsulating the blue of the sky and the green of the fields, evoking the freedom and driving elation delivered by the open top Sián Roadster’s performance, the car is finished with Oro Electrum wheels: the color chosen by Lamborghini to signify electrification. The complementary interior is an elegant combination of white with Blu Glauco detailing and aluminum elements in Oro Electrum: new-design air vents produced via 3D printing allows customization with a client’s initials.

Design for the future

The Lamborghini Sián Roadster asserts the futuristic design of the coupé, but as a true roadster adds a new purity with the open-air cabin. The aerial view of the Sián Roadster is evocative of the iconic periscopio line inspired by the first Countach, running diagonally from the cockpit to the rear and culminating in the aerodynamic airstreamers behind driver and passenger. The Sián’s long sculptured contours and characteristic aero wings give the Sián Roadster an unmistakably powerful profile. The car’s very low front, with integrated carbon fiber splitter, houses the iconic Lamborghini Y-shape headlights.

The pure and uncluttered Sián design is a clear statement of the car’s optimized aerodynamic efficiency and technological prowess: airflow is directed through the front splitters and through the front bonnet, through the side air intakes and outlets and over the rear spoiler, with no loss of aerodynamic efficiency from the roadster’s roofless design. Active cooling vanes on the rear use unique materials-science technology patented by Lamborghini: operation of the vanes is triggered by the reaction of smart-material elements to the temperature generated by the exhaust system, causing them to rotate and providing an elegant and lightweight cooling solution.

The extreme and strong rear of the car incorporates Lamborghini’s evocative hexagon design, including six hexagonal taillights inspired by the Countach. The rear wing is integrated within the profile and extends out only during the driving to enhance the performance.

Electrification and hybrid technologies for a new tomorrow

The low, powerful chassis houses a next-generation V12 powerplant: ‘Sián’ in local Bolognese dialect, meaning ‘flash’ or ‘lightening’, denotes the Sián Roadster’s electrification as part of the future hybrid strategy, while maintaining the extraordinary emotion and dynamic performance inherent in naturally aspirated Lamborghini super sports cars.

The Sián Roadster’s hybrid system provides the highest power possible via the lightest solution, combining the V12 engine with a new powertrain. A 48-volt e-motor, delivering 34 hp, is incorporated into the gearbox to provide immediate response and improved performance. The e-motor also supports low-speed maneuvers such as reversing and parking with electric power.

The Sián Roadster sports Lamborghini’s innovative supercapacitor application: a world-first technology storing ten times the power of a lithium-ion battery. Located in the bulkhead between cockpit and engine it ensures perfect weight distribution. Three times more powerful than a battery of the same weight and three times lighter than a battery producing the same power, the electric system with the supercapacitor and e-motor weighs only 34 kg, thus it delivers a remarkable weight-to-power ratio of 1.0 kg/hp. Symmetric power flow ensures the same efficiency in both charging and discharging cycles: the most lightweight and efficient hybrid solution.

This advanced technology combines with the V12 engine, which incorporates titanium intake valves and is uprated to 785 hp (577 kW) at 8,500 rpm. Combined with the additional 34 hp from the hybrid system, the Sián Roadster delivers a total of 819 hp (602 kW) and reaches a top speed of over 350 km/h.

The Lamborghini Sián Roadster incorporates a highly sophisticated regenerative braking system, especially developed by Lamborghini. The symmetric behavior of the supercapacitor, which contrary to normal Li-Ion batteries can be charged and discharged with the same power, fully charges the Sián’s energy storage system every time the vehicle brakes. The energy stored is an instantly-available power boost, allowing the driver to draw immediately on increased torque when accelerating away, up to 130 km/h when the e-motor automatically disconnects, improving the elasticity maneuvers and making it more than 10% faster than a car without this system.

The innovative system also delivers instant acceleration in low gears, with improved traction force provided by the combination of V12 engine and hybrid system. The Sián Roadster accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 2.9 seconds. The improvement in elasticity maneuvers is even more evident, for example traction force is improved by up to 10% in third gear.

The Lamborghini Sián Roadster benefits from a heightened level of driving comfort facilitated by the hybrid system alongside dynamic handling and performance. The moment when deceleration and missing torque is felt during gear changes powered by a traditional combustion engine, is eliminated by the torque upshift fill provided by the hybrid’s e-motor: the pilot will feel only the pull backward of acceleration, eliminating uncomfortable jerking movements.

You might also have seen the many renders I made on how I thought the Sian Roadster would look, and to be honest the actual production version does look very close indeed, and this didn’t come as a surprise: there is no roof on the Sian Roadster.

Just like the Aventador J, the Veneno Roadster and, the Centenario Roadster the latest limited edition, or few-off as Lamborghini calls it, doesn’t have any roof designed for it, this is open-top motoring at it’s finest, a true Barchetta from Sant’Agata and frankly, I like it a lot more than the coupe, but that might just be my love for convertibles in general.

Performance

To avoid turbulence at high speed, there are side windows on the Lamborghini Sian Roadster, and while they are full size at the front, they dip down considerably when they reach the end of the door, which naturally opens to the sky like all Lamborghini flagship V12 models, and the Sian, despite being a hybrid model, comes with the famous 6.5-liter V12 engine derived from the Aventador, power output is now up to 785 hp, add the 34 hp hybrid electric motor and the Sian Roadster puts down a total of 819 hp, the same as the coupe version by the way.

Top speed for this roofless supercar is over 350 km/h while acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is completed in less than 2.9 seconds, using the supercapacitor to store energy, the latter is charged every time the Sian Roadster brakes, the additional power is immediately available for increased torque at speeds over 130 km/h the electric motor does disconnect and the V12 flies solo the rest of the acceleration.

Lamborghini Sián Roadster Interior & Exterior Design

The exterior design is inspired by the Countach, a classic Lamborghini model, blending sharp lines and aerodynamic elegance to create an unmistakable silhouette. The body of the car is entirely composed of carbon fiber, contributing to its breath-taking appearance. Additionally, it features an electrochromic roof and moving surfaces controlled by smart materials, sculpted with innovative lines. The Sián Roadster was debuted in a color called Blu Uranus, which was specially selected by Lamborghini’s Centro Stile.

The interior design of the Sián Roadster is based on the Aventador’s interior, but it has been upgraded with several unique features. The interior makes use of sophisticated aluminum details painted in Oro Electrum (gold), a color Lamborghini has chosen to identify its hybrid cars. The Sián’s interior also introduces a new vertical touchscreen, which is set above the center console. Additionally, the center console has been tidied up and features a portrait touchscreen first seen in the Huracán Evo. The interior also sees the use of 3D printed parts for the first time, and the leather upholstery has been done by Poltrona Frau, a renowned Italian furniture company.

Price

Rumor has it the Lamborghini Sian FKP37 and this new Sian Roadster are both listed at an MSRP of $3,600,000 to $3,700,000 same price for the coupe and roadster, and while they will build 63 coupes, production on the Roadster is limited to only 19 units both production numbers adding up to 1963, the year the company was founded the official press release states all 19 are already sold.

While most of us will never be able to buy one of these Lamborghini Sian Roadsters, this doesn’t mean you can’t have fun to create your bespoke one virtually in our new LamboCONFIG configurator.

The post Lamborghini Sián Roadster – Pictures & Gallery appeared first on LamboCars.

At the 2019 IAA in Frankfurt Lamborghini unveiled a satin green Sián to the public and the owners that ordered the 63 units that will be built, and to make things even more interesting, Lamborghini plans on building 63 different Sián … not two will be alike as every owner is invited at the factory to create a one-off, bespoke car just for him … or her, and judging from the samples the Ad Personam department showed during the VAG VIP evening event we might be seeing some really wild looking Lamborghini Sián once they are delivered.

So only 63 units of this Sián coupe will be built, and all of them are already sold … but what about a Roadster version? Will Automobili Lamborghini SpA turn the Sián into a convertible as they did with the Veneno and Centenario before?

I for one really hope so, I love an open-top Lamborghini, and even if it doesn’t even come with any kind of roof (like the Aventador J, the Veneno Roadster and the Centenario Roadster) it still is the ultimate Raging Bull in my eyes … so I created a Sián Roadster myself, in a style I would like to see with a full windshield and just two roll-over bars behind the seats … a true Roadster in every sense of the word.

And while the people that bought a Lamborghini Sián Coupe can have the Ad Personam department at Sant’Agata create their bespoke Bull, you can do the same in our brand new LamboCONFIG configurator I have created for the Sián … enjoy putting together one just for you.
