Lamborghini Sesto Elemento

Concept

The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento ( " Sixth Element" ) is a non - road-suited sports car of Italian car manufacturer Lamborghini. The name of the two-seater is intended to express the connection to the sixth element (carbon) in the Periodic Table of Elements, because the outer skin of the Sesto Elemento primarily of carbon fiber- reinforced plastic ( colloquially referred to as carbon) is.

Idea

Equipped with a six-speed manual gearbox and four-wheel drive vehicle was first introduced at the 2010 Paris Motor Show. The chassis, body, drive shaft and other suspension components consist primarily of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic. The total weight is reduced based on these lightweight to 999 kilograms.

The engine has a maximum power of 419 kW ( 570 hp) and a maximum torque of 539 Nm. The 5.2-liter V10 engine has been taken over by the Lamborghini Gallardo. Hot air escapes upwards through 10 hexagonal openings in the hood. Two inlets bring cool air to the central engine. Due to the high engine power and low weight, the power to weight ratio of 1.75 kg per hp. The Lamborghini accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 2.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 350 km / h

Production model

The production model corresponds largely to the study of 2010, and in 2012 came on the market. The model was limited to 20 vehicles.
