Perhaps the most significant car premiere of 2010 was the presentation of the Lamborghini Elemento. This luxury car is a true work of art of the Italian automotive industry. And therefore, we should talk about its advantages and features.
Lightness and grace
This is amazing, but the weight of the "Lamborghini Elemento" is only 999 kilograms. Manufacturers have tried and done everything possible to achieve the goal. Such indicators were achieved through the use of carbon fiber. I must say, the result is impressive. Today, the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento is the lightest car in the entire line of the company. However, this is not the only fact that is amazing.
Take, for example, the case. It is made of carbon fiber, which is mixed with plastic using modern technology developed by Boeing specialists. Thanks to such decisions, it was possible to make a truly light and graceful car, which is a pleasure to drive.
Specifications
The specific power of this iron horse is 562 horsepower. To “hundred” “Lamborghini Sesto Elemento” accelerates in less than 2.5 seconds! These are simply unrealistic indicators, you just have to press the gas pedal - and the neighborhood rushes before your eyes at a frantic speed. A true paradise for lovers of sports and fast driving. By the way, the maximum speed that this car can develop is 320 kilometers per hour.
It is difficult to disagree with the fact that this car is one of the best in the series. Her engine, by the way, deserves special attention. The fact is that he, like the transmission, was taken over from the Gallardo Superleggera. All fans of the eminent Italian manufacturer are familiar with this powerful sports car. After all, he is the main competitor of another, no less famous car, namely the Ferrari 458 Italia.
But it is worth returning to the discussed model. On its hood, you can see two air intakes, which are necessary for supplying air to the engine. There are also ten funnels. They are a very important element, because hot air comes out through them.
Expert opinion
It is not surprising that after the world premiere, “Lamborghini Elemento” (whose photo, by the way, appeared on the network long before its presentation, which greatly intrigued motorists) began to show interest. Experts and professionals also expressed a desire to find out what this engineering masterpiece is worth, the price of which is $ 2.5 million. Many managed to test the "Lamborghini Elemento." Top Gear was no exception. This is a popular TV show about cars. On Top Gear, the Lamborghini was tested by Richard Hammond. The expert noticed that in order to reduce the weight of the car, they even put special seats in it.
By the way, another interesting fact: this car participated in the filming of the film called “Need for Speed” (the original name is “Nees For Speed”). It was the final race, after which the car crashed and burned down.
Style and Design
Speaking about a car like the Lamborghini Elemento, one cannot help but notice how it looks. Designers made every effort to make this car moderately aggressive, sporty and expressive. In general, the design is made in high-tech style. In the image of the car, geometric figures, triangles, somewhat rounded corners are clearly traced. Appearance is in perfect harmony with the interior design, because in the cabin everything looks about the same. It was in such forms that most of the elements were made - these were headlights, mirrors, door handles, and air intakes.
Other technical details
I must say that this Lamborghini model has retained the good old E-gear transmission. Most likely, manufacturers decided to leave it, on the basis of economic feasibility. In addition, systems with a 2-disk clutch are quite impressive in weight.
After the publication of this model, fans of the Italian concern had a lot of questions. For example, will manufacturers make subsequent Lamborghini carbon? Well, the answer today is obvious - after all, several years have passed. However, in the new models, you can see some nuances adopted from Sesto Elemento. Manufacturers do not want to copy cars and do restylings. Their goal is to do something new every time. Improve technical specifications, improve engine performance, bring something new to the design, develop fresh ideas for interior design. They say that their every car is not evolution, but revolution. And that's it.
Convenience and comfort
“Lamborghini Elemento”, whose characteristics are really impressive, may not seem at first glance the best option in terms of comfort and convenience. However, it is not. A sports car must be such that it wants to drive again and again. "Lamborghini Elemento" is such. The salon was combined and lightweight, there is practically nothing superfluous in it. The control panel is convenient, everything is located nearby - so that it is convenient for the driver to control the sports car. In addition, the seats, despite the fact that they are also lightweight, are very comfortable - they seem to remember in which position the rider is most comfortable to sit.
It should also be noted that the interior is pulled together by a carbon cross beam, in which a TFT display is built-in. By the way, the pedals and steering wheel are adjustable - which is also a very convenient innovation.
In general, as you can see, this car is truly a miracle of the automotive industry. It has almost everything that an extreme driving enthusiast needs. So it should not be surprising that this iron horse costs about $ 2.5 million.
