The new car, called the Sián, will be the fastest and most powerful Lamborghini ever made and only 63 of them will be produced. The name, Sián, means"bolt of lightning" in the traditional Bolognese dialect of Lamborghini's northern Italian home, according to Lamborghini.Instead of batteries, as in most hybrid cars, the Sián uses a supercapacitor.The Sián is a"mild hybrid," meaning it will still rely mostly on its gas-powered 774 horsepower V12 engine.
Similar to other hybrid cars, the Sián will charge its supercacitor while the driver is braking, then use that stored energy at low speeds and during acceleration.

Because of this, according to Lamborghini, the Sián's supercapacitor will be fully charged after only a short press of the brake pedal. Supercapacitors are also lighter than batteries.
