If Money Was No Object - Lamborghini Sesto Elemento

ads



The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento is one of the most extraordinary supercar concepts out right now. With only 20 of these cars being produced, a price tag of 2.2 million is not unexpected, but neither is a 0 – 62 time of 2.5 seconds. The Sesto Elemento includes a 570 HP V10 with an amazing power to weight ratio of 1.75 kilograms per horsepower. It is also possibly the most aerodynamic car ever built.




The President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini said “The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento shows how the future of super sports car can look – extreme lightweight engineering, combined with extreme performance results in extreme driving fun.”


With a curb weight of 2,202 lbs, an all-wheel drive system, and a V10, it is understandable why this car is able to produce such incredible numbers. Almost the entire car uses carbon fiber material which is why this is the lightest sports car in the world. To put it in perspective, this weighs about half as much as a CLS63 AMG. The Sesto Elemento uses a 6 speed transmission with paddle shifters on the steering column that set off shifts faster than you can release the paddle.

Putting the Bat Mobile to shame seems to be what the car does best. If you are somebody who just made a phone call to your personal assistant to write a check for 2.2 million dollars to Lamborghini though, I’m sorry to inform that all 20 units have already been sold.
