Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, Aoshima, 1/24
Unveiled at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, only 20 examples of the ultra light Sesto Elemento were produced, each priced at 1.8 million Euros.
It’s a limited edition masterpiece of carbon fibre technology with a kerb weight of 999 kg (2,202 lbs).
The 5.2 litre V10 from the Gallardo unleashes 570 CV, with a power to weight ratio of 1.75 kg/cv.
The all wheel drive system gives the Sesto Elemento acceleration from 0 - 100 km/hr (0 - 62 mph) in 2.5 seconds, with a top speed of 300 km/hr (187.5 mph).
The interior is minimalist, devoid of any of the creature comforts normally found in a road car, only the steering wheel, digital speedometer, and just a few controls inhabit the cockpit. The cushioning is fixed directly to the bodywork frame to form seats.
You should never see a Sesto Elemento on the road because none of them are street legal. It’s a car born solely for the track.
Paints used are Tamiya TS-100 semi gloss bright gun metal, and metallic red made by using a base coat of silver with a top coat of clear red.

This one looks fast just sitting there, George (@chinesegeorge). It was fun following along on the build. Well done.

That's a right beauty, George @chinesegeorge!
Thank you, Gary @garybrantley.
Turned out really super nice, George @chinesegeorge. That Lambo looks like a rocket powered dart! What’s coming out of your Motorsport garage next?
Cheers, Eric @eb801, ah, you’ll have to wait and see what’s next, but it will probably be Italian, thanks for your support.
Nice work mate!
I’ve drove this car many times on my driving sim. Would love a go in the real one, although that will never happen!
