woppum You are a Teamspeed member that Rocks and Rolls!

One of the first bonkers cars I can see the point of. The price does not disturb me. Sounds about right considering they are making 7-10.

570hp/2200 lb is awesome but it's a $3.4M gallardo.

I would highly doubt it, unless Lamborghini can somehow engineer a passenger airbag into the void where the dashboard should be. For likely only one car, it wouldn't be worth it.

They did federalize one Reventon Roadster, but that was much easier, given that it was so similar to a Murcielago.

“We are testing the Sesto Elemento at the moment and if it all goes well then we could look at a limited production run,” said Winkelmann. “But it would not be homologated because there are complications with things like airbags. It would be for track use only.

When asked if the new car’s production run would be similar to that of the Reventon, of which 20 were manufactured, Winkelmann said, “It would be that at the maximum.”
