The Lamborghini Sián FKP 37 has arrived, and it’s the brand’s first supercapacitor-based hybrid V12. Lamborghini has been using additive manufacturing for prototyping purposes for a while now. Quite recently, the company adopted Carbon’s 3D printing technology, Digital Light Synthesis, for the production of automotive parts at scale – those parts were integrated in Lamborghini’s Urus SUV. This time around, the company did not mention whether 3D printed parts would be part of the Sián FKP 37 model, however we know that this is the most customisable Lamborghini model ever, which does suggest 3D printing was used.

In fact, the car has been designed to offer a large range of customisations. The exterior, can be configured in fully exposed carbon fiber, with custom colours, shaded paintwork and specific liveries, and the interior with special trim and an infinite number of combinations of colors and materials. An innovative ‘touch and feel’ leather is also available, specifically developed for the Sián FKP 37.

These personalisations do not mean that Lamborghini is using on-demand 3D printing for some parts, but they do point to a general trend that is growing in the automobile industry and that is customisation – especially for luxury and race cars. The desire for custom objects, vehicles, etc. is giving strength to 3D printing, that can provide significant value.
