Lamborghini Sesto Elemento

The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, Italian for sixth element, is a high-performance limited-edition car that debuted at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, its name referring to the atomic number of carbon and to the carbon fibre used throughout. About eighty percent of it is carbon fibre, including chassis, body, drive shafts, wheels and suspension parts, which brings the weight down to 999 kg. It was the first car to use forged carbon fibre, a composite developed with Callaway Golf. The 5.2 litre V10 from the Gallardo Superleggera gives 419 kW through all-wheel drive, and Lamborghini claims 387 km/h. It was meant for track use only, with twenty planned and perhaps ten built.
