Lamborghini Sesto Elemento Concept to go into production, 20 limited units at €2 million

When Lamborghini unveiled their Sesto Elemento concept car at the Paris Motor Show last year, we thought that it’s barely a concept to show off their skills with carbon fibre, which will trickle down to future production models, such as the Aventador LP700-4. But no, it seemed that Lamborghini really has the intention to build this super car. Well, at least 20 of them.

What makes the Sesto Elemento so unique is because of its advanced composite constructions with carbon fibre monocoque which gives it a curb weight of 995-kilogram (2,200 pounds). Coupled with the Gallardo’s 5.2-liter V10 engine – possibly tuned for extra power –  and the insane power to weight ratio will pull the production model to 62 from a standstill in just 2.5 seconds, making it quicker even than the new Aventador which hits highway speeds in just 2.9.

Somewhere along the way, the Reventón-matching million-Euro price tag that we thought was astronomical already will reportedly double to €2 million, or around $2.8 million USD based on current exchange rates. That’s an enormous chunk of change, especially for a car you can’t even take out onto the street. But considering the multi-millionaires who drop bigger figures on decommissioned F1 cars just for track days, the Raging Bull marque could very well have little trouble offloading the 20 examples pegged for production.

    indeed, this will be the most expensive car.

    well, i actually prefer such cars then the Veyron. the Veyron is an engineering wonder, proving what men can do and achieve, but the Veyron is not elegant, unlike the others. it’s too bulky for my liking, thought i’d still love to be in one. :)
