Lamborghini Sian Fails to Sell Thanks to Sub-MSRP Bid

Hyper-limited supercar models pretty routinely sell for far more than their original price. However, this Lamborghini Sian couldn’t find a home.

It’s become pretty common for hypercar manufacturers to make ultra-limited-edition models that only select individuals are allowed to buy. The Lamborghini Sian is no exception. Officially, the Sian was the first hybrid electric vehicle offered by Lamborghini. Of course, the electric drivetrain components are still paired with a 6.5-liter V12 engine. With only 63 models made, one might expect to see a bidding frenzy of the ultra-wealthy that drives the price through the roof.

So, when this 2021 Lamborghini Sian FKP 37 hit the Bring A Trailer auction block, we sat down with our popcorn to watch the numbers climb. To our surprise, though, they didn’t get as high as one might expect. In fact, the Sian came in well over $1 million under the original MSRP.

How Much is A Lamborghini Sian Worth?

Ultimately, finding a buyer for a car of this caliber is not exactly a trivial task. Sure, it’s easy to get wrapped up in the sales of cars like this: the LaFerrari Aperta, the McLaren Speedtail, and so on. However, the buyer pool for multi-million dollar cars isn’t exactly Olympic-sized. An investment this huge is something that even the wealthiest car collectors have to stew on. Evidently, the Sian just isn’t that appealing.

Ultimately, a buyer for this car will likely eventually be found. However, with the final bid of $2,350,000, the car went unsold. This is likely due to a reserve in place that the car didn’t meet. That’s entirely understandable, too, when you consider that the original starting MSRP of this car was around $3.5 million. This particular example has the optional Verde Triton with Ad Personam and carbon fiber packages. According to Bring A Trailer, those cost a cool $105,216 a piece. Considering the final bid didn’t even come within $1 million of the original price, it’s no surprise the reserve was not met.

With a combined output of over 800 horsepower to all four wheels and the 12-cylinder beating heart of the Aventador SVJ, there’s certainly no shortage of folks who would love to own this car. Unfortunately, most of us dreamers are destined to remain dreamers for the rest of our lives. Evidently, at this time, those people don’t cross over on the Venn diagram of those who can afford to buy the car. Of course, that’s subject to change in the future. It’ll be interesting to see if and when this car sells and what the sale price will be.
