Lamborghini Sesto Elemento: Confirmed Production

At the Frankfurt Motor Show, Lamborghini unveiled its first global road version of the Gallardo LP 570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale and also take this opportunity to confirm the production of the Sesto Elemento model.

The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento

In collaboration with engineers at the research center in composite materials and those of Boeing, we concocted a fireball ultra lightweight, weighing only 999 kg. For this occasion, we use a condition called technological approach "Carbon-Fiber Reinforced Plastics", which can be molded parts of the car in one room and thus benefit from a reduced weight. Moreover, the front and rear of each of a concept that one room is right.

For comparison, the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera called series weighs 1,300 pounds.

This beautiful high performance sport cutting carbon gray, merely borrow the engine of the Lamborghini Gallardo LP-570 Superleggera. We find under the hood a modest 5.2-liter V10 engine that delivers an output of 570 horsepower with a torque of 398 lb-ft.

Robotized e-gear box is used here and transmits power to all four wheels this beast via the system of integral cog has own brand.

The weight / power ratio of this car is equivalent to 1.75 kg / hp, which allows it to offer impressive accelerations from 0 to 100 km / h in just 2.5 seconds. In all likelihood, his speed should easily exceed 300 km / h.

In all likelihood, the model of series should be unveiled in March at the International Motor Show in Geneva, if not later than September 2012 at the Mondial de l'Automobile in Paris.

Sesto Elemento concept was unveiled in 2010 this great car show.

Remains to be determined henceforth Time will commence marketing of the fireball and the price will demand. We speak readily of an amount that could exceed the € 1.5 million ($ 2 million fine Canadian dollars).
