First Look: Lamborghini Sesto Elemento

[Bouncer]

While Ferrari, Porsche, and others tinker with hybridization of their supercars, Lamborghini is betting the bull farm on extreme weight reduction to meet its target of a 35-percent CO2 reduction by 2015, as the name of its latest concept car -- Sesto Elemento -- suggests. That translates to "sixth element," which periodic-table enthusiasts will recognize as C, or carbon. Practically everything but its V-10 all-wheel-drivetrain (swapped in unchanged from a Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera), tires, and fasteners is made of the stuff. Weight is conservatively estimated at 2200 pounds -- that undercuts its "super-light" drivetrain donor by about 750 pounds for an impressive weight-to-power ratio of 3.9 pounds per horsepower. Lamborghini's computers predict 0-to-62 mph acceleration in 2.5 seconds!

that is more then just looks, it all about air manipulation, down force etc...

maybe a used one in 10 years!

but by that time kia will be making cars that do 0-60 in 2.5 seconds. :rofl:

this angle just makes me think that it was an attempt to make the rear stick out a lot more in terms of design. and is there a spoiler on the bottom by the tires? hahaha. the car itself looks amazing though. i am still a fan of the reventon.

its called a rear diffuser, keeps the car pushed down to the ground while getting rid of the "bad air" that sits behind the car at high speed.

formula 1 cars have had them for years. now the super cars are starting to have them.
