Default Lamborghini: Sesto Elemento - 0-60: 2.5s
Looks great to me, it's concept, but I think it's gonna make it to the market!

i cant believe the weight of 2200lb. thats prob a dry weight. in any case if they can bring a "FULL" streetable car in mid to high 2000lbs its will be a win.

Let's hope it stays a concept car. I ain't gonna drive that thing. Too embarrassing.

Lamborghini has crossed the line (though some would say that's impossible).

Gone from avant-garde outrageous to adolescent fabulous.

Are you serious? It is emberrasing?

You still WISH you drove a naturally aspirated engine, hence hanging out there all the time! You'd die for a NA V10, with a full CF body, doing 0-60 in 2.5seconds!

Definitely. Agree 100%. HP/Tq is good! I'm with you. OTOH, I'm sick of getting laid all the time (complicates everything). I want to attract LESS attention. Less obvious a car, less of chick magnet would be good.


Then again this low-res pic shows it to be not too bad.

Found this: proves how easy you can easily go too far with a Lambo. (kidding)

Kind of looks like my bicycle helmet - but in a good way. Nice.

While I love what it represents from a tech perspective, I do occasionally wonder if Sant'Agata Bolognese is literally translated as "styling overkill" ...

Ugly. Looks like a Transformer.

The new road going Mclarens are going to be nice cars.

Here're two less mysterious and less glamorized views. (photoshopped from above pics)

It's what you'll wake up to the morning after in your driveway.
