Lamborghini Sesto Elemento on the first sight catch your eyes by its body and extremely angular, probably hardly anyone see some elegance, but it impresses by its shape. Demonstrator is based on a serial model of the Gallardo, which indicate the proportions of the car slightly, some details such as the small triangular window behind A-pillar and in particular technology under the newly proposed body.
Before the rear axle is longitudinally placed on the V-ten-power 419 kW (570), which drives all four wheels. Lamborghini Performance in Sesto Elemento is not the main figure. The most important is a mass of 999 kg, compared to the series Gallardo LP 560-4 has a curb weight of 1575 kg.
The credit for such a drastic difference between the mass and serial demonstrator model has applications with carbon-reinforced plastic (CFRP Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic). The Lamborghini sees a future for the production of the body.
In the production of Sesto Elemento of the CFRP material was used clear lacquer, making the visible structure of the material beautifully. With nanotechnology, you can add the top layer of tiny crystals and to achieve such a red glow. This manufacturing process is patented by Lamborghini.
The advantage of the new material is that it is able to produce large complex units instead of several small parts - front and rear body may therefore be a single piece. It is equipped with special hooks for a quick and easy replacement.
By a special manufacturing process was made from carbon for example drive shafts, wheel rims, exhaust tips and carbon-ceramic brake discs.
Top speed of Lamborghini Sesto Elemento is high above 300 km/h, but according to representatives of Lamborghini it is a relatively insignificant figure. Much more importantly, thanks to a small weight will be as flexible acceleration and the ability to inhibit (not to mention the driveability in the curves) for more than a large chunk of the current Supersport with a bull as its logo. This clearly implies more than the ratio of 1.75 kg per horse power and the ability to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2,5 s.
