As of October 2019, there are a total of 20 Sesto Elemento vehicles in existence. 10 were produced for use by the Italian National Police, while the other 10 were sold to private customers. Each individual car is worth approximately €2.2 million.
The Sesto Elemento was first unveiled by Lamborghini at the 2010 Paris Motor Show. It is based on the Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera, and shares that car's 5.2 liter V10 engine which produces 570 hp. The Sesto Elemento has a top speed of 202 mph and can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in just 2.5 seconds.
Despite its impressive performance figures, the main focus of the Sesto Elemento is its weight - or rather, lack thereof. Thanks to its extensive use of carbon fiber throughout its body, the Sesto Elemento weighs just 999 kg (2,202 lb). This makes it one of the lightest cars currently in production; even lighter than some open-wheel race cars such as Formula One cars and IndyCars.
Due to both its rarity and price tag, the Sesto Elemento is unlikely to ever see widespread production. However, its innovative use of carbon fiber technology could very well trickledown to Lamborghini's other models in the future; making them not only faster but also lighter too.
