The Sian has a starting price of $3.6 million. But even if you have the cash, you probably can't get one. Lamborghini instantly sold out of all 63 cars being produced.
Lamborghini worked with researchers from MIT to develop its new supercapacitor technology.
Unlike lithium batteries, which store energy in chemical form, capacitors store electricity in an electrical field — like static collecting on a balloon. Supercapacitors are three times more powerful than batteries of similar weight and three times lighter than batteries of similar power.Fans of the famous flux capacitor in 1985 movie "Back to the Future" will love the new Lamborghini.
The Italian automaker unveiled its fastest car ever Tuesday morning at the Frankfurt Motor Show — a geometric fantasy of speed and engineering called the Sian FKP37. It is the company's first hybrid, following electrified offerings from Ferrari, Porsche and others. But unlike the other hybrids, which use batteries, the Sian's electric boost comes from a supercapacitor, which can put out huge amounts of instant power.
