Lamborghini Sesto Elemento approved for limited production of 7-10 units 
Lamborghini has given the greenlight to the Sesto Elemento (Sixth Element) for a limited series production, according to the reputable French automotive program Auto Moto's website.
But it will be a very limited series - between 7 and 10 exemplars will be built. The Sesto Elemento debuted at the Paris auto show with a very impressive, if seemingly excessive, concept show car which featured a naturally-aspirated 5.2 liter V10 engine from the LP 570-4 Superleggera with 570 PS (419 kW / 562 bhp). The car has a curb weight of just 999 kg due to its extensive use of carbon and carbon-fiber reinforced plastics which includes a carbon-fiber monocoque structure.
The Sesto Elemento comes with a permanent all-wheel drive transmission and a power-to-weight ratio of 1.75 kilograms per horsepower. The 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) sprint time clocks in at 2.5 seconds, while top speed will be well above 300 km/h (186 mph) - reported as 350 km/h (217.5 mph) prior to the Paris unveiling. The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento will be priced at around €2.5 million/$3.44 million/£2.15 million.

Don't get me wrong, I love the car. But that price tag is ridiculous.

Such possibility is discussed, but I really don't know where they got info about such ridiculous price tag. As were mentioned by few contacts at dealers the car could be priced EUR 1.5M or even slightly lower.
