The 2011 Frankfurt IAA is just around the corner and an invite from Lamborghini has been making its rounds on the internet. Two key elements jump out at us, the use of the word “racing” and the red tire marks. Only one concept from Lamborghini meets these, the Sesto Elemento.
Here’s where we see the racing aspect. Back in November of 2010, Stephan Winkelmann stated that the Sesto Elemento could see a limited production run and that not being homologated would make it “track use” only.
“We are testing the Sesto Elemento at the moment and if it all goes well then we could look at a limited production run,” Winkelmann revealed to Autocar during a recent interview. “But it would not be homologated because there are complications with things like airbags. It would be for track use only.”
The red/black colors of the invite syncs up with the colors of the Sesto images (gallery below) that Lamborghini leaked up to the final reveal in Paris.
With a price tag of est. $3 million, we would be extremely cautious around a track! The V10 570HP engine pushing a mere 2200lbs is enough to push it from 0-62 in 2.5 seconds.
