this is information on the "Sesto Elemento" The Sesto Elemento is equipped with a 6-speed semi-automatic transmission and an all wheel drive system, mated to a 5.2 litre V10 engine borrowed from the Gallardo Superleggera, generating 570 PS (419 kW; 562 hp) and 540 N⋅m (400 lbf⋅ft) of torque. The chassis, body, drive shaft and suspension components are made of carbon fibre , reducing the overall weight to a mere 2,202 lb (999 kg), a weight comparable to subcompact cars.[1]

The engine is cooled through 10 distinctive hexagonal holes in the engine cover, while two intakes funnel cool air into the mid-mounted engine compartment while the exhaust pipes are positioned in the rear wing. Lamborghini claims a 0–62 mph (0–100 km/h) acceleration time of just 2.5 seconds,[2] and a top speed in excess of 210 mph (338 km/h).

The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento has a power to weight ratio of 1.75 kg (3.86 lb) per horsepower, which is currently the best power to weight ratio achieved by a production Lamborghini.

The interior of the Sesto Elemento is generally bare without vehicle comforts such as air-conditioning and stereo. The seats are made of carbon fibre and foam and bolted directly onto the chassis of the vehicle, reducing weight and production costs.
