It’s easy to think of the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento as just another Gallardo with a fancy body and a silly name. But while the two cars share an engine, that’s where the similarities end.
But the Sesto is so much more. It’s a demonstration of a trend for super sportscars, lighter and sleeker than ever before, offering more thrills as well. It uses carbon fiber all over, but not like anything you’ve seen before.
The external sheet of the car is 0.8 millimeters but as strong as 5 times the thickness of aluminum. In order to keep the driver in one place, it’s the pedals the move closer to the seats.
But the piece de resistance is the exhaust - dual tips placed on top, right behind the mounting points for the rear wing. It burbles and roars like no other engine out there. BrianZuk records a Lamborghini Sesto Elemento Starting Up 3 times, then driving on the road.
