On its own, the naturally aspirated V-12 supplies a hefty 774 horses. Supplementing the engine is a 48-volt electric motor that adds 34 horses and is integrated into the car's seven-speed automated manual transmission.
What is the contribution of the supercapacitor and these 34 horses to the fuel savings of this vehicle? Not very much apparently.
Despite its hybrid powertrain, the Sián continues to be environmentally offensive. The EPA estimates the electrically assisted V-12 will guzzle 8 mpg in the city and 14 mpg on the highway.
