The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, also known as the sixth Element, represents a revolution in the automotive industry and pays tribute to the element carbon, the central material of the construction. This exclusive super sports car was introduced in 2010 and belongs to the first generation developed by one of Italy's most prestigious automakers. The design is by Filippo Perini and the engineering team was led by Maurizio Reggiani. The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento sets new standards with its extreme lightweight construction, as the majority of the vehicle structure is made of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP). With a total weight of only 999 kg (2,202 pounds) and a 5.2-liter V10 engine producing 570 hp, this super sports car achieves breathtaking performance.
The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento offers outstanding driving characteristics due to its low weight and an impressive output of 570 hp. This power results in an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 2.5 seconds. The all-wheel drive system and the sequential 6-speed transmission further contribute to the exceptional performance of the vehicle. It is also interesting to note that the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento advanced the brand's technological advancements even further and served as a foundation for many future developments. Its predecessor, the renowned Lamborghini Gallardo, already included many technical innovations.
