The recent revelation by Vietnamese businessman Minh “Nhựa” that he purchased the limited-edition Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 has sparked interest among car enthusiasts in the country. Interestingly, Minh “Nhựa” is the second Vietnamese millionaire to acquire a hypercar from Lamborghini, the first being Mr. Hoang Kim Khanh, owner of the megacar Koenigsegg Regera and the hypercar McLaren Senna, both registered in Cambodia.
The fact that these two enthusiasts, both belonging to the 8X generation, share a passion for supercars has caused quite a stir online. Hoang Kim Khanh has expressed his intention to buy the Lamborghini Sian, of which only 63 exist worldwide, while Minh “Nhựa” has his eyes set on the Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4, with only 112 units produced globally.
Let’s take a closer look at these two limited-edition Lamborghinis that Hoang Kim Khanh and Minh “Nhựa” have revealed they will be adding to their collections.
Lamborghini Sian
The Lamborghini Sian FKP 37 is a limited-edition, mid-engine hybrid supercar that was unveiled online on September 3, 2019. It is the first hybrid produced by Lamborghini, and its name, Sian, means “flash or lightning” in the Bolognese dialect. The starting price for this exceptional vehicle is $3.3 million, or 76 billion VND, excluding any additional options requested by the customer.
Based on the images shared by Hoang Kim Khanh, his Lamborghini Sian boasts a sleek matte black exterior. This particular model is currently being offered for sale by a showroom in Dubai at a price of $3.5 million, which equates to 82 billion VND.
Given Hoang Kim Khanh’s history of owning megacars and hypercars, it is likely that he will register this Lamborghini Sian in Cambodia, just as he has done with his previous high-end vehicles. The car will then be transported to his home in Vietnam through one of the two main border gates, either Tay Ninh or Binh Phuoc.
The Lamborghini Sian is an extremely valuable collector’s item for car enthusiasts. If Hoang Kim Khanh adds this supercar to his garage, it is likely to be the most expensive vehicle in his collection, surpassing even the Koenigsegg Regera, which cost $2.9 million.
The Lamborghini Sian is built on the foundation of the Aventador and borrows its power from the Aventador SVJ. It is equipped with a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine that produces a whopping 774 horsepower. But that’s not all—the engine is paired with a mild hybrid system that utilizes a 48-volt electric motor integrated into the gearbox, adding an extra 34 horsepower. This combination results in a total output of 808 horsepower, propelling the Sian from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds, with a top speed of 350 km/h.
Another unique feature of the Lamborghini Sian is its use of supercapacitors instead of traditional lithium-ion batteries. These supercapacitors are three times more powerful and three times lighter than conventional batteries of the same weight. They are strategically positioned between the cockpit and the engine to optimize weight distribution.
Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4
The Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4, ordered by Minh “Nhựa,” is produced in a larger quantity than the Sian and is priced at $2.62 million, $700,000 less than the Sian. It is built on the same hypercar platform that Hoang Kim Khanh’s upcoming acquisition is based on. Only 112 units of the Countach LPI 800-4 will be manufactured globally.
The Countach LPI 800-4 was unveiled on August 14, 2021, and its design pays homage to the original Countach introduced 50 years ago, while incorporating the hybrid powertrain of the Sián FKP 37. The Countach LPI 800-4 is the brainchild of Mr. Mitja Borkert, head of design at Lamborghini.
Under the hood, the Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 boasts a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted longitudinally, generating 770 horsepower. This powerhouse is combined with a 48-volt electric motor nestled within the 7-speed automatic gearbox, adding an extra 33 horsepower. Together, they produce a total output of 803 horsepower.
The braking system features regenerative capabilities, and the energy captured is stored in supercapacitors, which are lighter than traditional lithium-ion batteries. The dry weight of the Countach LPI 800-4 is 1,595 kg, with a weight distribution of 43% at the front and 57% at the rear. According to Lamborghini, the Countach LPI 800-4 can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds, reach 200 km/h in 8.6 seconds, and attain a top speed of 355 km/h.
