Most of us dream of driving racecars on the road, but there are two main problems with such activities. First of all, it's against the law. Secondly, track-confined machines are hopelessly impractical on the street. Well, today we want to show you an Arab Lamborghini owner who decided to ignore both these issues.
The man happens to own one of the world's twenty Sesto Elemento track toys and, as you'll be able to see in the clip below, he wasn't afraid to fully dip into the Lambo's potential on the road.
While the Sesto Elemento packs the Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera's 570-pony V10, the supercar was put on an extreme carbon diet (hence, the name - carbon is the sixth element).
Tipping the scales at just under one ton (2,200 lbs), this Raging Bull obviously also cut some corners in its quest for lightness, missing out on bits and pieces that would make it street legal.
As we said, though, its driver, who has also asked a Rolls-Royce to come along as a camera car, doesn't seem to be worried about such matters.
Having paid under $3 million (EUR2 million) for his Lambo, perhaps the driver wanted to make the most out of his investment.
We understand the frustration of not being able to leave the track while behind the wheel of such an extreme contraption. We really do. However, this still doesn't justify the Lambo's presence on a less-than-closed public road.

In today's safety-improving world, cars such as this one are nearly impossible to build for the road
Instead, the man aims to show what the Sesto Elemento's numbers mean in the real world. Speaking of which, we'll remind you this naturally aspirated machine can complete the 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) sprint in 2.5 seconds, while being able to hit a maximum velocity of 198 mph (319 km/h).Having paid under $3 million (EUR2 million) for his Lambo, perhaps the driver wanted to make the most out of his investment.
