Lamborghini Sesto Elemento coming in October
Pricing rumored to exceed €1.9 million
The Lamborghini Aventador may be grabbing all the headlines, but a new report is indicating the company will launch a production version of Sesto Elemento concept in October.
While nothing is official, Auto Motor and Sport is reporting to have received confirmation that the vehicle will start arriving at dealerships in the third quarter of 2011. Furthermore, the magazine says production will be limited to 10 or 20 units and pricing will surpass €1.9 ($2.8) million.
As we have previously reported, the Sesto Elemento featured a naturally-aspirated 5.2-liter V10 engine that developed 570 PS (419 kW / 562 hp) and 540 Nm (398 lb-ft) of torque. Backed up by an all-wheel drive system and an e.gear transmission, the 999 kg (2,202 lb) concept accelerated from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 2.5 seconds and hit a top speed in excess of 300 km/h (186 mph).

Because it's made completely out of carbon fiber, and is 800 lbs lighter than the already lightweight, Gallardo Superleggera?
