Paris Motor Show 2010: Lamborghini Sesto Concept | The Wheel Deal
Lamborghini has shaken things up at the 2010 Paris Motor Show with the unveiling of their new Sesto Elemento concept car. A so-called “technology demonstrator,” this dream machine is basically a once-off design study that showcases the Italian firm’s adoptation of carbon-fibre-reinford plastic (CFRP) technologies that are expected to appear in all forthcoming Lamborghini models. Like sister company Audi has pioneered the use of aluminium, the Sant’ Agata-based company has chosen to pursue and work with CFPR in order to reduce the weight of their super cars; an attribute that will ultimately lead to increased efficiency and significantly improved performance.
Indeed, tipping the scales at a mere 999kg and powered by a 425kW V10 engine, the Sesto Elemento will charge to 100km/h in an incredible 2.5-seconds. Of course not only is all this carbon fibre a great way of boosting performance but it also does wonders when it comes to sexing things up in the styling department; that exotic black material forming the basis of the Sesto’s skin, interior and wheels.
Nice but wrong engine. We need full electric now
