After his Ferraris, F1 driver Fernando Alonso was spotted driving his €3 million Lamborghini Sián!

In Monaco, some scenes seem scripted. Supercars go by, smartphones go up... and sometimes, a driver from Formula 1 appears at the wheel of a car worth more than a Villa. Over the past few days, Fernando Alonso has once again attracted attention on the streets of the Principality. After his Ferraris went viral on social networks, the two-time world champion was this time spotted at the wheel of a Lamborghini. But not just any car: a Lamborghini Sián FKP 37, estimated today at nearly 3 million euros.

Monaco, natural playground for supercars... and F1 drivers

In the narrow streets of Monaco, supercars are never completely ordinary. But to see Fernando Alonso behind the wheel of a Sián remains an event apart. The images quickly circulated on Instagram, fueling yet another fascination with the Spanish driver's very select garage. Officially involved with Aston Martin in Formula 1, Alonso nevertheless continues to cultivate a very Italian image when it comes to road cars. After his Ferrari F40, its LaFerrari or its 512 TR, this detour to Sant'Agata Bolognese confirms that its interest is not limited to Maranello.

The Lamborghini Sián

Presented in 2019, the Lamborghini Sián FKP 37 occupies a very special place in the history of the Italian automaker. Quite simply, it is the first production Lamborghini hybrid. Based on the Aventador, it retains the legendary naturally-aspirated V12, but combines it with a unique technology: a supercapacitor instead of a conventional battery. Its name, "Sián", which means "lightning" in the Bolognese dialect, sums up this approach perfectly. The name FKP 37 pays tribute to Ferdinand Karl Piëch, a major figure in the Volkswagen Group who will die in 2019.

63 copies only... and Alonso owns one

The Sián FKP 37 is not only a technological showpiece, it's also an extreme collector's item. Between 2020 and 2022, 63 examples of the coupé version were produced worldwide. Fernando Alonso is the owner of one of these ultra-exclusive cars, a privilege reserved for a handful of collectors. At the time of its launch, the starting price was already in excess of 2.5 million euros, excluding options. But as is often the case with this type of model, the price only went up. Today, a Sián is worth around 3 million euros.
