Last night we gave you the first look at Lamborghini’s new Sesto Elemento, a concept car that demonstrates the company’s latest technologies. At the time we didn’t have the opportunity to get a close look at many of the car’s details.
If there’s one thing that caught our attention about the Sesto Elemento, it’s the weight. Lamborghini was able keep its curb weight to 999 kg, or 2,202 lbs, thanks to extensive use of carbon fiber and carbon fiber reinforced plastics. The entire car is essentially constructed from the lightweight materials including the monocoque, front frame, body panels, major suspension components and wheels. With a 570-horsepower V10 mounted behind the cockpit, the San Elemento has just 3.86 pounds to push for every horsepower. Lamborghini claims a 0-100 km/h time of just 2.5 seconds and a top speed of over 300 km/hr, or 186 mph.
While the technical details are impressive, we weren’t immediately taken with the exterior design. As our own Chris Paukert put it, “There’s a lot going on.” What’s interesting is that while we don’t necessarily like the design as a whole, each of the individual elements is quite stunning. The interior is impressive to see as well, with nearly nothing to hide the structural and functional aspects of the car.
Have a look at all the details of the Sesto Elemento in the mega gallery below, or read the full press release from Lamborghini after the jump.

hey talking about super replicas does anyone know if they make every part of the car identical??? even the interior? And how long does a car take to build? I want a Lamborghini replica of the Estoque.

Nice……. The lamborghini estoque replica would be something I want in my collection too.
I had super replicas make a kit of the lamborghini embolado replica.
It was made on a space frame with a Mercedes Benz V8 motor and a six speed tranny, but it took longer than what they told me.
I was told six weeks, however the car was not ready until four months.
Its worth the wait though. The interior is perfect and the sound of the exhaust is like a V10 lambo engine.

I was surprised when I read this article about super replicas auctioning and lp670 replica. I thought you like to read it,
you can find the article on this blog any this is what it says,
Lamborghini Murcielago Replica Kit Car Up For Auction Fools Diablo Gallardo Builder
Every kid in the World longs to drive an exotic car such as a Ferrari, Porsche, or BMW, but would never imagine that they would ever step foot in a Lamborghini! The Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 is the most desired car on the planet! The problem is, the car costs around $400,000 new. Even a used one will set you back about $150,000! It appears that you may be able to drive the car of your dreams after all (or at least feel and look like you are!)
Currently for sale on youtube are the 2010 Lamborghini Murcielagos LP670, Reventon and Gallardo replicas and may sell for less than a late 90′s Firebird! What’s the catch you ask: Well, it’s not a real Lamborghini. It’s a replica (also known as a kit car or super-clone.)
If being seen driving the World’s most desired car sparks your interest, send an email to srclones@gmail.com. Now you can look as successful as the super sports athletes and music artists in driving a million dollar car down town. However, if getting attention isn’t your thing, this may not be the car for you. Anyway, check it out. Here is the link: http://www.supereplicas.com
