Just so you know it is a concept, and in no way will it come to market at 2200lbs. The current Gallardo SL weighs a hair under 3000 lbs already, so I can definitely see the next generation model while meeting much tougher regulations weighing somewhere around 2700-2900 lbs.


Anyway, I seriously like this concept. Check out where the exhausts are! lol. I wonder if that is legal to have it there.

Cost? Isn't the least expensive Lambo $225K right now? This is going to be over $450K I'm guessing...

I love how the diffuser has a cutout for the transaxle and you can see it without even looking under the car.

So this will be like the next-gen Gallardo?

I just hope they don't scrap the design. Its totally devious.

I've always love Italian design. So aggressive, sharp, exotic, and oh so slick, yet so beautiful.

Default Lamborghini Sesto Elemento tackles the Sepang Circuit [video]


Features a 5.2-liter V10 with 570 PS (419 kW)

YouTube's Shmee150 has posted a new video of the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento stretching its legs at the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia.

Originally unveiled as a concept at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, the Sesto Elemento is a track-only supercar that features a 5.2-liter V10 engine with 570 PS (419 kW) and 540 Nm (398 lb-ft) of torque. Thanks to all-wheel drive and an insane curb weight of 999 kg (2,202 lb) the car can accelerate from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 2.5 seconds and hit a top speed in excess of 300 km/h (186 mph).

While Lamborghini announced plans to build 20 Sesto Elementos in 2011, there are rumors that only two exist and they are both owned by the automaker.
