It’s hard to think of supercars as anything more than concepts. Dreams. Fantasies. They are so fast and so gorgeous it doesn’t seem like anyone should drive them, let alone design them. Don’t they just appear, become a gorgeous car out of thin air? The answer, of course, is no. Supercars takes years and years of design, and many of them come from concepts, just like your every day driver.
Motorcrave.com recently got hold of Lamborghini’s latest concept, the Sesto Elemento (Sixth Element) and it is incredible. This beautiful, superlight beast of a machine is built with all the latest technology.
The Sesto Elemento, which means Sixth Element, uses a carbon fiber monocoque tub and carbon fiber all over–front end frame, body panels, suspension parts, rims–pretty much everywhere you look. As such, it cuts hundreds of pounds over other Lamborghinis and comes in at a featherweight 2,202 lbs. (or 999 kg if you want to be catchy). The 570-hp 5.2-liter V10 engine has no problem pushing that light, skeletal body to 62 mph in just 2.5 seconds on up to around 218 mph.
