Lamborghini is very proud of its Italian heritage and has celebrated the porticoes of Bologna being named a UNESCO World Heritage Site by taking to the streets with a Sián FKP 37. Bologna has 62 km of porticoes, the oldest of which date back to the 12th century, and are one of the city’s most iconic architectural symbols. The world’s longest portico leads to the Sanctuary of the Madonna of San Luca atop Colle della Guardia and is made up of 666 arches stretching 3,796 meters.
As for the Sián FKP 37, it was unveiled a couple of years ago as the brand’s first hybrid and its most powerful supercar at the time. It is based on the same platform as the Aventador, meaning it has a 6.5-liter naturally-aspirated V12. However, the Sián FKP 37 is unique as it also features a 48-volt, 34 hp electric motor that’s incorporated into the gearbox and provides immediate response and better performance.
Making the car all the more unique is the fact that instead of using a lithium-ion battery pack, it has an advanced supercapacitor that is three times more powerful than a battery of the same weight and three times lighter. The supercapacitor is mounted in the bulkhead between the cabin and the engine and can also deploy its power much quicker than a battery.
While the Sián FKP 37’s electric motor and supercapacitor won’t be found in the Aventador’s successor, they do feature in the special Countach LPI 800-4, unveiled as a celebration of the Countach’s 50th anniversary.
