The Lamborghini Sian FKP 37 is a 808hp Hybrid supercar with a massive 6.5 litre Naturally Aspirated V12 that sounds glorious. It’s spaceship looks are fitting of the hybrid system inside, a world’s first Supercapacitor powered hybrid system, that’s hidden inside. At between 2-3 million dollars it costs a lot, but it’s worth it.
The new Sián FKP 37 is a technological tour de force, able to fire up incredibly strong emotions. The most extraordinary innovation is the hybrid system, which delivers maximum power with minimal weight. The innovative, lightweight mild-hybrid architecture uses a lithium-ion supercapacitor, which is three times more powerful than a battery of the same weight. It is a low-voltage 48V system, enabling peak currents of up to 600A. Powered by this current, the electric motor delivers engine torque directly to the rear wheels, and during braking uses the inertia to recharge the capacitor. The electrical power flow is symmetrical, for the same efficiency during the charge and discharge cycles, without overheating.
With the Sián FKP 37, a new autonomous technology is entering the automotive world. At the back of the engine hood are autonomous vent flaps actuated by smart materials that are temperature sensitive by nature. These flaps open independently when the temperature around the exhausts becomes too extreme, without the aid of electric controls and sensors, relying only on the thermal distortion of the material. With its carbon-fiber monocoque, titanium intake valves, active aerodynamics and rear-wheel steering, the Sián FKP 37 employs cutting-edge technology everywhere—not only in the world’s first supercapacitor hybrid system.
