Chris Harris vs Lamborghini Sián | 800bhp + hyper-hybrid Lambo | Top Gear Series 30

This, by some distance, is the most complicated car Lamborghini has ever produced - and the first to feature electrification. How? By adding 34bhp of supercapacitor tech to an already mighty V12. But what does Chris Harris make of Lambo’s exciting new recipe? Time to find out...

I love how Lamborghini's approach to Hybrids is: "We just have to add electricity to our cars, right?" So they went and literally just added electricity to their current car 😂 And I love them for that ❤️🔥

[@einautofan6685]

Yes, adding a 34hp electric motor to a 800hp engine is a bad Joke...😜

Well, it at least keeps the fangirls happy I suppose 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

@@joaquinpaul8205 I'd say a sian gives you much more joy than an sf90. It has much more drama than the other supercars. Screaming v12 and a shitty gearbox make it cooler than the sf90

[@ChlorophilG]

I do prefer Chris when he's not presenting for Top Gear. He's a proper car nerd; I feel like he dumbs it down a bit for the BBC...lot's of whizz-bang, "Whoo," and spectacle for a wider audience. Jezza was a better entertainer, though; he was the cornerstone of Top Gear for a long time, RH and JM were good in their own right, but Jeremy carried them in.

[@bobbowie9350]

those three guys are actors. they werent really doing the hard stuff

[@fartloudYT]

Chris Harris is a nerd. The trio were amazing entertainers with nearly unmatched synergy between them who just happened to like cars a lot. You could say that Top Gear always needed a Chris Harris, but then again, it was never a serious motoring program to begin with - so it didn't.

[@Jay-jb2vr]

Thing is, Chris Harris could easily have his very own car show, where he just invites people on to showcase and review cars. He doesnt need Top Gear at all.

[@allin4once]

One of my favorite Lamborghinis ever; looks and functionality wise.

[@streamcnoremorse3323]

[@Inracing11]

I agree with what Chris said here. I used to follow all the super cars very closely when it was F430 vs gallardo etc but now they all have so many models its hard to know whats what and which model is replacing which.

[@kinetichessgym]

True. But how this knowledge helps you? Are you in the market for a supercar?

[@rootsmanuva82]

The super capacitor contributes about 3.8% of the total power in the Sian. It’s a revolutionary technology for future EV’s, but 99.8% of this cars greatness lies within its internal combustion engine. A future without IC bores me to tears.

[@Amarjit_Singh]

It isn't substantially faster than the SVJ or even other Aventador's.

[@LDwiggs]

I haven’t loved Lambo’s looks for several years. Until now. That thing is absolutely gorgeous.

[@ELECTRICEYEMEDIA]

Love the Sian. What's interesting is that Honda developed this tech with the second Gen NSX long before McLaren's P1, Porsche's 918 or the LaFerrari even came out. The Acura ASCC was already in development back in 2005 as well as the Honda NSX CONCEPT-GT and was shown around the same time as the P1 at auto shows in 2012 under Acura. I'm happy to see this technology now being used in the heavyweight contenders. The Lamborghini Revuelto will be the new king after it's first deliveries in 2024 and we get reports of real time performance. Also excited to see the Huracan successor. Rumor has it that it will carry the same 4.0L TT V8 from the Urus and be a hybrid with 800+hp off the showroom floors. I think if they add the dihedral doors to the new model Huracan, it would surpass sales of their V12 counterparts.

[@BlackenedNL]

That was incredible

[@Noble713]

Anyone else getting Dune vibes from the musical score? Anyways, love that Lamborghini sprinkled the bare minimum amount of "hybrid" into their raging bull possible; like those old Fosters commercials where they put a piece of parsley next to a steak and call it a salad.

[@echutch]

Killer spec.

[@HesteBremse]

It´s great and solves a few problems with the Murcilago, but somehow I´d rather see that Sian EV tech somewhat doubled in an interation of the Sesto Elemento kind of car. If I consider that McMurtry Spéirling and the options that tech is adding to the EV car, then the Sian is still a Dinosaur - but a great Dinosaur never the less. In addition condering all the aero tech developed in for several Lamborghini models I also miss something advanced aero being a part of the Sian.

Biggest cost saving of the decade is lambo using the same tail lights on the Sian and countach 2022. Damn the countach deserved better.

And then you'll realise that a much bigger 'cost saving' from lambo is that they're using everything from the Aventador in the Sián except the body panels and supercapacitors. They body panels are made from the same materials as well and they're 5-6X the SVJ price, original msrp to original msrp.
