Lamborghini is entering deeper into the world of electrification with the impressive hybrid supercar Lamborghini Sián, which was unveiled for the first time at this year's Frankfurt Motor Show. It is based on the same platform as the Aventador and has the same 6 litre V12 engine with natural suction that uses the older model of the automobile industry.

The Lamborghini Sián combines the V12 with an 48-volt 34HP electric motor built into the gearbox, which offers better responsiveness and performance. Instead of following the easy road and using the 48-volt mild-hybrid VW Group, the Lamborghini decided not to use a simple lithium-ion battery pack. In fact it developed a supercapacitor that is three times more powerful than a battery of the same weight and the system is three times lighter.


The electric motor of the hybrid supercar together with the supercapacitor weighs 34 kg and as already mentioned add to the power 34hp. So, despite its slight weight, this system offers a respectable extra power. Lamborghini Sián has a total of 808hp and the company reports that the supercar hybrid will have a 0-100 acceleration in 2.8 seconds and its final speed will exceed 350 km/h.

Evija is the first attempt, the small British company in pure electric cars and customers seem to trust this project. The company's leaders from the Hethel of Britain promise that the maximum power of their new and purely electrical powered creation will be 2,000 horsepower and its torque at 1,700 Nm.  Lotus CEO, Phil Popham said in Pebble Beach last week :

This is exactly the beginning we hoped for. Evija is a special and excellent car-designed and built to put Lotus back on the map as a pioneering company and leader of mechanical engineering. We have already received several orders, a two-digit number, which gives us great confidence that we will catch the planned production number when it will start next year.
