Lamborghini, the sports car manufacturer, is ready to make a breakthrough in September to introduce a new sports car. Lamborghini is not saying, but the news last blow that car was the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento.
According to the plan, Lamborghini will introduce a super sports car mat Tuesday at the Frankfurt Motor Show which opens on September 13, as quoted from leftlanenews next Wednesday (08/03/2011).
Lamborghini Sesto Elemento which is the production version will be introduced after the concept version shown at the auto show Paris Motor Show in 2010.
This car is a very special car. For the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento using carbon fiber materials for the entire material. Sesto Elemento own name seems to refer to the number of carbon atoms of the element which is the figure 6 (Sixth Element).
By using the carbon fiber body weight of the car becomes very light which is only 999 pounds. Super lightweight body is also a benefit for the speed enthusiast. Due to the lightweight body, boost a typical malignant Lamborghini engine capable of carrying Sesto Elemento ran 0-100 km / h in just 2.5 seconds, with a maximum speed reaches 354 km / hour. Ability is obtained from the ear of a capacity of 5.2 liter V10 engine that reportedly will strengthen the kitchen of this Italian car racing. This machine has a power of 560 horsepower.
Reportedly, this car will be produced only 20 units. And because the specifications are almost perfectly with the amount of production
very limited, it is no wonder that most likely the price of this car will greatly deplete the pockets of the millionaires. Chances are, Lamborghini Sesto Elemento be released at a price range of U.S. $ 2.9 million.
When it does occur, then the super fast car is going to be the most expensive car in the world beating Bugatti Veyron. (jov)

Most agree that the super car Lamborghini is very interesting. Many wealthy people buy this car for collection. Here are five facts you need to know about the Italian car, as quoted from planetoddity.com:
1. Lamborghini is one of the fastest cars in the world. Cars Le Mans version of the Murcielago R-GT can run with the speed of 370 kilometers per hour. In addition, the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 also has that can be invited to run 340 km per hour. Both models use a V12 engine with a capacity over 6,000 cc.
2. Did you know that Lamborghini was built by an independent company, but went bankrupt in 1978 and sold to Chrysler. In 1998, the German company, Audi AG, took over and became the owner of Lamborghini.
3. Most Lamborghini models are produced by the engine 12 sillinder in configuration V (V12), although the newest model, Gallardo, the V10 engine. What is clear, Lamborghini never produce cars with less than a V8 engine.
4. Lamborghini was first produced in 1963 and with the name 350GTV. With a top speed of 280 km per hour, 350GTV very fast in that year. Lamborghini's first car that can run faster than 300 km per hour was produced in 1974, the Countach model.
5. Countach, Diablo, and Murcielago all have scissor doors - which rotate and move forward on a hinge near the front door, but not for the Gallardo. Countach and Diablo is no longer manufactured, so the Lamborghini car with scissor doors is currently only Murcielago. (vnc)

On Paris Auto Show, a big showroom surrounded by lots of pretty girls and paunchy gentlemen with notepads sits a concept Lamborghini called the Sesto Elemento. It is made entirely of carbon fibre. Carbon, if you were unaware, is the Sesto Elemento on the periodic table: the 'sixth element'.This concept signals Lambo's intention to withdraw from the Top Speed War which the world's supercar makers have been embroiled in for some time, and instead focus on something much more doable - power-to-weight.
As such, this Sesto Elemento gets the Gallardo's 5.2-litre V10 wrung out to 562bhp, but sits on a carbon-fibre body weighing a paltry 999kgs, meaning rocket-powered performance in a go-kart shell. 0-62mph is sliced in just 2.5 seconds, which, as you've guessed, is the same as a friggin' Veyron. Top speed is 'over 186mph'.
But, says Lambo, "what the figures cannot convey is the Sesto Elemento's razor-sharp handling, voracious turn-in and huge braking power". An understanding of basic physics will tell you this is right. So, so Right.
The concept gets four-wheel-drive, Lambo's E-Gear auto box and, alongside the extensive carbon fibre, carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP), including the insides, which are as spartan as the looks are outrageous.
We've got the full lowdown and exclusive access to this pivotal moment for one of our favourite carmakers, so check out next month's mag for the full scoop.
Lamborghini wants to refocus the idea of extreme performance with this. Are they heading in the right direction, or should Lambos be about big power, big speed and big drama?

UPDATE----
Sesto Elemento is Italian for sixth element, which is carbon. And much of the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento is constructed from carbonfibre, helping to keep the kerbweight under 1000kg. The Sesto Elemento weighs just 999kg – incredible for a car that features four-wheel drive and a 5.2-litre V10.
The basis of the Sesto Elemento is a carbonfibre monocoque, with CFRP crash structures and body panels – the latter are visible through a clear-coat paint with nano technology-added red crystals providing a shimmer effect. The suspension components, the wheels and brakes are also made from carbon, the propshaft is CFRP, and the tailpipes are constructed from Pyrosic, a glass and ceramic composite that can withstand 900-deg. The rear subframe and rear axle suspension points are aluminium.
Combine that low, low weight with the 562bhp 5.2-litre V10 from the Gallardo Superleggera, plus that car’s four-wheel drive system, and you get a Veyron-beating 563bhp/tonne and 2.5sec 0-62mph time. The added benefit of weighing 340kg less than a Gallardo Superleggera is an improvement in fuel consumption and CO2 figures too, but more excitingly, the Sesto Elemento will stop and steer better as well.
'The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento shows how the future of the super sports car can look – extreme lightweight engineering, combined with extreme performance results in extreme driving fun. We put all of our technological competence into one stunning form to create the Sesto Elemento,' said Lamborghini president and CEO Stephan Winkelmann. 'Systematic lightweight engineering is crucial for future super sports cars: for the most dynamic performance, as well as for low emissions. We will apply this technological advantage right across our model range. Every future Lamborghini will be touched by the spirit of the Sesto Elemento.'

Rumor, Lamborghini akan menghadirkan mobil konsep terbaru mereka di Paris Motor Show besok. Kendaraan yang dinamai Sesto Elemento memiliki sosok berdesain mirip pesawat tempur. Sesto Elemento sendiri adalah bahasa Italia yang artinya 'elemen keenam'.
Menurut perkiraan para pengamat otomotif, jika diproduksi nanti, Lamborghini Sesto Elemento hampir seluruhnya dibuat secara eksklusif menggunakan serat karbon yang sangat ringan. Bahkan prediksi mereka, bobotnya hanya 999 kg.
Benar-benar sangat ringan mengingat kendaraan ini dibekali mesin V10 yang dampaknya, mampu membuat supercar ini berakselerasi 0-100 km/jam hanya dalam tempo 2,5 detik dengan kecepatan maksimal 350 km/jam.
Dengan bobotnya yang super ringan, sepertinya kendaraan ini tidak akan menawarkan sistem penggerak hybrid, karena tenaga mesin, hampir seluruhnya tercurah ke permukaan aspal tanpa banyak yang terbuang akibat beban tambahan. Meskipun demikian, siapa yang bisa memastikan hal itu?
Karena bisa saja mereka ingin menyaingi kehebatan Porsche 918 Spyder bermesin hybrid yang memiliki tenaga 708 hp dengan konsumsi bahan bakar yang mampu menyaingi Toyota Prius.

Supercar Lamborghini Reventon terinsiprasi pesawat tempur interceptor stealth, F-22 Raptor. Reventon dirancang menghabiskan biaya hingga $1,6 juta, di hanggar khusus F-22 raptor.
Mesin mobil mewah ini dikelilingi kaca tahan panas dengan isi silinder 6.5-liter V12. Tenaga sebesar 650 horsepower (hp) dan torsi 487 pound-feet menjadikan mobil ini sebagai salah satu mobil tercepat.
Desain berbasis F-22 Raptor semuanya serba digital. Lampu depan yang terbalut kap mesin khas stealth memancar amat kuat berkat Bi-Xenon unit. Dibuat menggunakan bahan alcantara, karbon fiber, aluminium dan bahan kulit di interior. Ruang kemudinya juga persis ruang kokpit F-22 Raptor. Bahan bahannya juga serupa, dibalut alumunium dan karbon fiber.
Semua penala ada, termasuk bahkan G-force, yang akan menilai tingkat gravitasi yang bisa dirasakan pengemudi andai mobil “terbang” dan melayang saat bermanuver dalam kecepatan amat tinggi, lalu di rem mendadak. Mirip mobil di film film science fiction, LCD 3D akan memberi semua informasi kepada “pilot” dengan sangat akurat. Semuanya hanya sama dengan yang digunakan di pesawat tempur, dan sebagiannya mirip punya mobil balap F-1. Mobil ini dibandrol 30 Miliar rupiah.
