Lamborghini Sesto Elemento Technology Concept Leaks Ahead of Paris Auto Show Debut
Translated as the Sixth Element, this concept car shows just how far Lamborghini can take its light weight mandate, using carbon fiber for almost every aspect in order to reach a curb weight of just 2,200 lbs. And to make that number even more impressive, remember, there’s still a very big V10 engine located just behind the cockpit, enabling a 0-60 mph time of just 2.5 seconds and a top speed of 218-mph.
And speaking of cockpits, Lambo certainly seems to be carrying on with its Reventon “Jet Fighter” theme with this new concept – although as concepts go, the styling is quite tame. That can only mean one thing, however; that we’ll see a very similar model headed into production in the near future.
Check back Thursday, September 30th for AutoGuide’s coverage of the Paris Auto Show.

Well of course it's impressive but the overall look is nothing revolutionary. If this replaces the Murcilago then we'll have a Gallardo and a better Gallardo.
