Here’s a car
that we’ve been anxiously expected for quite a while – the Italian
supercar maker Lamborghini has recently announced the first details
about the production version of the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento.
The main idea
behind the production version is that it will be kept almost exactly
like the concept model. There are just a few modifications like improved
overall structural safety and an increased stiffness factor.
The interior of
the production Sesto Elemento will match the concept version’s, with
customizable seat shape and position, based on the preferences of the
customer. The seats are partly featuring a carbon fiber monocoque
structure and come with additional cushions for improved comfort, even
at high speeds. There will also be two individual crash structures, at
the front and rear, with quick-release points which permits a facile
removal during maintenance processes.
The hypercar,
which is reportedly built solely for the track, will boast the same
drivetrain as the Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera – a 5.2-liter V10 engine
that delivers 562 HP (419 kW) and 540 Nm (398 lb-ft) of torque tied to a
6-speed automated manual transmission. As the Sesto Elemento will be
the proud owner of a 999 kg (2,202 lbs) curb weight, it will be able to
reach a top speed in excess of 200 mph (322 km/h) and to accelerate from
naught to 62 mph (100 km/h) in a whopping 2.5 seconds.
The price of
the stunning Lamborghini Sesto Elemento will be around €2 million
(somewhere around $2.6 million) and it will be manufactured as a limited
edition of 20 units, which have already been reserved.
