This New York City woman was excited to see a car that arrived on a flatbed come out of its crate.

You may be left wondering what the big deal was, but this wasn’t your standard run-of-the-mill car.

The car in question was the $3 million Lamborghini Sián FKP 37, the first supercapacitor-based hybrid V12 supercar.

There’s a lot to unpack here – literally and figuratively – so let’s take a closer look.

The $3 million Lamborghini Sián comes to New York City

YouTuber Supercar Heather was on the scene outside Manhattan Motorcars to see the Sián being delivered.

It had arrived in a huge crate on the back of a truck.

There’s always something so exciting about the unboxing – our most popular video of 2024 was the opening of a fake Range Rover from China.

Not that they’re always positive experiences, as this man found out when he got himself a $2,000 electric truck from Alibaba.

Heather was understandably excited about the big reveal.

“I can’t even begin to tell you guys how excited I am for this car to come out of this crate.”

Once the crate had been forklifted off the truck’s flatbed, a group of men set about opening the box.

Even with the wooden panels dismantled, the car was still shrouded in secrecy – a black sheet, to be exact.

But soon the Sián was out in its full glory, with a khaki green body and bronze wheels.

If you fancy getting yourself one, you may well be out of luck.

Only 63 will be made, and they don’t come cheap.

If you’re lucky, you could convince this dad to build you one out of wood – he already did a Sian Roadster for his son, as shown in the video at the top of this story.

The Sián, named after the Bolognese word for ‘lightning’, looks like it came straight out of a Hot Wheels set.

And once it got driving, it looked as if it’d been teleported in from the future.

What next after arriving in a crate on a flatbed?

There were plenty of people gathering around the car on the street, shooting video of the Sián in action.

But it couldn’t be a display car forever.

Heather filmed it driving slowly inside the building and entering a car elevator.

From there, we can only assume its being prepped to go to its forever home.

According to Lamborghini’s website, this car will be capable of exceeding 220mph.

No wonder it’s called lightning in Bolognese.
