Chris recently acquired this street-legal Lamborghini Sesto Elemento and decided it wouldn’t be just a garage ornament or a low-mileage showpiece. Instead, he took it for a spin to gauge public reactions.
While Chris hasn’t disclosed the purchase price, Lamborghini initially priced the Sesto Elemento at $2.92 million 16 years ago. However, these were track-only models, making Chris’s road-legal version in the U.S. an extraordinary rarity.
Debuting at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, Lamborghini planned 20 track-only units. Yet, rumors suggest only 11 were produced—nine customer cars and two prototypes—though the brand never confirmed this. Of these, two went to Italy, nine were exported, and one briefly appeared in Monterey, California, in 2012.
Two of the 11 units were later converted for street use, with Chris owning one. His car arrived in the U.S. after Lanzante Motorsport in the U.K. modified it to meet U.S. road regulations.
As one of only two street-legal Sesto Elementos globally, spotting one is nearly impossible. During a drive, another Lamborghini owner inquired about the model, admitting he’d never seen or heard of it before.
Finished in matte gray, the Sesto Elemento’s carbon fiber body exudes aerodynamic precision. Its name, meaning “sixth element” in Italian, references carbon’s position on the periodic table.
Powered by a 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V10 from the Gallardo, it sprints from 0 to 60 mph in 2.4 seconds and tops out at 200 mph.
The engine delivers 562 hp and 398 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 6-speed sequential gearbox driving all four wheels. Despite modest specs by today’s standards, its 2,202-pound curb weight makes it one of Lamborghini’s lightest creations.
“It’s raw, loud—you hear every pebble,” Chris notes proudly. The car isn’t about comfort; it’s about connection. The stripped interior lacks a radio, leaving only the engine’s roar and tire screech as the soundtrack.
With no soundproofing, carbon fiber bucket seats, and a race-spec five-point harness, the cabin feels like a helicopter cockpit. “You become one with the car,” Chris explains, calling it “intoxicating.” A single pane separates the cabin from the engine, intensifying the heat.
At high speeds, Chris and his passenger must shout to communicate, embracing the Sesto Elemento’s unfiltered, visceral experience.
