The Lamborghini Sian Roadster is currently one of Lamborghini's rarest hypercars. Even the Sian Roadster can be considered a topless version of the most powerful car from the Lamborghini portfolio. Sharing engines and configurations with the Aventador SVJ, however, the Roadster edition also features a hybrid powertrain from a 48-volt electric motor.
The exclusivity offered by Lamborghini can be seen from the production units that are not overproduced. The Lamborghini Sian Coupe is already extremely rare with only 63 examples to be produced. Meanwhile, the Sian Roadster is more special and worth hunting for because there are only 19 units available worldwide, or less than a third of the Coupe edition.
Both production figures are not without reason. Both refer to the year Ferruccio Lamborghini founded Automobili Ferruccio Lamborghini S.p.A in 1963. With 19 units of the Sian Roadster and 63 units of the Sian Coupe, these two cars are not only rare, but represent a milestone for this Italian manufacturer.
2020 Lamborghini Sian exterior
Lamborghini already offered a sporty and impressive appearance when it introduced the Sian in September 2019. However, the presence of the Sian Roadster has been made more aggressive with several changes. Not just cutting the roof, but a slight revision of the exterior appearance.
Lamborghini designers offer a periscopio line inspired by the legendary Lamborghini Countach. The body lines flow from the front fascia diagonally to merge with the headlights with a Y accent that looks like an arrow. Confirms the fast impression carried by this Roadster.
You can see the front splitter from carbon which is integrated with the headlamps. To improve aerodynamics, airflow is directed through the front splitter to the roof, then through the side air intakes past the rear spoiler. Completing the front view, there are gold accents running from the front fascia to the side skirts.
The roofless design is a distinctive characteristic of the Sian Roadster which differentiates it from the Coupe version and the standard edition. Without a roof, it doesn't have much of an impact on the aerodynamic efficiency offered. With scissor-style doors, the Sian Roadster offers an attractive new Blue Uranus color option. Like any other sports car, you need to be careful when driving this car. Considering that the ground clearance of this car is only 100 mm.
There are six hexagonal taillights which are also inspired by the Countach which also adorn the stern appearance. Lamborghini patented a new technology for active cooling vanes on the rear exterior that are activated by temperature in the exhaust system. The rear wing, like the coupe model, is integrated into the body and extends automatically when needed.
The interior design is not unlike the other Sian models. Based on the interior of the Lamborghini Aventador, there have been a few adjustments made to make it look a little different from its older sibling. The Oro Electrum color distinguishes the Sian Roadster, which was created specifically for the hybrid powered variant.
The luxurious design of the sporty style is immediately felt when you enter the cabin. Likewise, the dashboard display is almost the same as the standard Sian version. Made identical to the Sian Coupe, the Sian Roadster is inspired by the cockpit of a fighter plane which is made ergonomically for driving comfort.
Several aluminum accents in the cabin that adorn the dashboard to the center console. There is a charming switch on the center console which is widened. Instead of being on the center side of the dashboard, the large portrait-style touch screen is located on the center console, presenting navigation functions and an entertainment system that will accompany you along the way.
Alcantara leather-coated steering wheel with a flat-bottom design offers comfort while driving. No multifunction button, so all settings are centered on the center console. Behind the steering wheel, there is a fully-digital instrument cluster which is perfectly positioned and has good visibility. So it's not too disturbing
The sporty bucket seats will support the body perfectly when driving at the impressive speeds that the Sian Roadster provides. There is a black impression on the side of the headrest with the typical Lamborghini bull logo made to match the exterior color which makes it sweeter in the cabin.
Features of the 2020 Lamborghini Sian
Like other high-speed models, the Sian Roadster hypercar offers various additional features to improve the driving feel. There is additional rollover and revised aerodynamics, making it remain stable even at high speeds. At the rear, there is Lamborghini's active ventilation which can be opened to keep the engine temperature from getting too hot.
Increasing driving comfort in the car, the system automatically flows from one side to the other. Like the 4-wheel steering from the Lamborghini Dynamic Steering system, it will adapt to the speed and driving mode used. The four-wheel drive system is paired with an adaptive suspension that adjusts the ride according to road conditions.
Compared to the exterior and the improved appearance, the engine used on the Sian Roadster is still the same as the regular Lamborghini Sian. The 6.5L V12 engine with Multi Point Injection technology is capable of producing a maximum power of up to 818 PS and a peak torque of 720 Nm coupled with Lamborghini's 7-speed Independent Shifting Rods transmission.
The power output is assisted by a 48-volt electric motor, which is added by the new Lamborghini supercapacitor technology, a new system that can store 10 times the power compared to lithium-ion batteries. Delivers three times the power of a battery of the same power, but is three times lighter.
Its impressive power with an all-wheel drive system makes the Sian Roadster triumph on a straight track. Lamborghini claims that this car can go from rest to 100 km/h in just under 2.9 seconds. Meanwhile, the top speed reaches 350 km/hour.
