Limited production of the Sesto Elemento

Certainly the introduction of the Lamborghini Gallardo Super Trofeo Stradale is big news in the 2011 edition of the show IAA in Frankfurt, and this bright red car takes center stage in a brand new stand Automobili Lamborghini SpA in Hall 3, between Bentley and Bugatti.

But at the end of the press conference, when two beautiful women removed the red curtains of the car, Stephan Winkelmann, CEO of Automobili Lamborghini mentioned something very interesting ... due to popular demand for carbon fiber concept was introduced last year at the Mondial de l'Automobile 2010 in Paris will be put into production.

Yes, you read this right, Mr. Winkelmann confirmed Lamborghini Sesto Elemento production, there is a catch however: only 20 will be built, yet there is qouted prices ... and can only be used on the track ... The first shipment in planning for 2013.

Note that the Sesto Elemento developed as a showcase for the application of carbon fiber, if you look at the history of the Lamborghini you will find that only once before Sant'Agata company has a car that puts less than 1000 kg on the scale ... Countach Evoluzione 1986 ... Other prototypes of carbon fiber, which at the time was not ready to be put into production ... It will take another 25 years before the first Lamborghini to use carbon fiber chassis and bodywork will be ready for production: new Aventador.

Due to low weight and high power engine is taken from LP570-4 Gallardo Superleggera, which Elemento Sesto capable of reaching 100 km / h after just 2.5 seconds ... Sesto Elemento else is going to show the supremacy of Automobili Lamborghini SpA in composite materials technology.

I wonder if they will offer a clear carbon fiber bodywork only or if the customer can apply the paint for this car ... seen from the color made by MR Collection Models in scale 1 / 18 at Sesto Elemento can be radical in pink ... or not, I would prefer the original carbon fiber body to show itself, probably not shiny like a concept car mats.
