Styling is by long-time Lamborghini designer Marcello Ghandini, and mixes Countach-based themes, such as hexagonal elements mixed over a modern supercar mid-engine wedge shape.
Design changes for the Sián Roadster include the removal of the roof, enhanced rear buttress/headrest forms, and a revised rear engine deck.
The Sián Roadster was shown on July 8th, 2020 in a striking peacock blue with titanium highlight features.
