Lamborghini sesto elemento 2011-2012

Design and specifications
The Sesto Elemento is equipped with a 6-speed semi-automatic transmission and an all wheel drive system, mated to a 5.2 litre V10 engine borrowed from the Gallardo Superleggera, generating 570 PS (419 kW; 562 hp) and 540 N⋅m (398 lbf⋅ft) of torque. The chassis, body, drive shaft and suspension components are made of carbon fibre, reducing the overall weight to 999 kg (2,202 lb), a weight comparable to subcompact cars.[1]

The engine is cooled through 10 distinctive hexagonal holes in the engine cover, while two intakes funnel cool air into the mid-mounted engine compartment and the exhaust pipes are positioned in the rear wing. Lamborghini claims a 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) acceleration time of 2.5 seconds,[2]  0–200 km/h (0–124 mph) time of 8.0 seconds,[3]  and a top speed in excess of 350 km/h (217.2 mph).

The interior of the Sesto Elemento is generally bare without vehicle comforts such as air-conditioning and stereo. The Sesto Elemento also lacks seats, instead having foam padding directly adhered to the carbon fiber chassis.

Production

Lamborghini announced plans to produce 20 cars for track use only in mid-2011 with each car costing US$2.92 million.[1] [4]  All 20 cars were already sold upon the confirmation of production.[5]  At that time, the Sesto Elemento was the most expensive Lamborghini ever created, until the Veneno was launched, with the price of the car as high as GB£4,162,150 (US$6.5 million).
