Lamborghini was able keep its curb weight to 999 kg, or 2,202 lbs, making it the lightest Lamborghini ever produced thanks to extensive use of carbon fiber and carbon fiber reinforced plastics. The entire car is essentially constructed from the lightweight materials including the monocoque, front frame, body panels, major suspension components and wheels. With a 570-horsepower 5.2L V10 from the Gallardo mounted behind the cockpit, the San Elemento has just 3.86 pounds to push for every horsepower. Lamborghini claims a 0-100 km/h time of just 2.5 seconds and a top speed of over 300 km/hr, or 186 mph. Hot air escapes upwards through 10 hexagonal holes in the engine cover, while two intakes funnel cool air into the mid-mounted engine.
This is car pornography!! It does look a little on the weird side with those holes at the back reminding me of the stingray. But oh my does it look good; those sharp edges and striking red paint splashed at the appropriate regions of its carbon fibre body. Looks aside, the performance seems astounding. 0-100kmh in a mere 2.5seconds, this is definitely not one you want to mess with. Now, I wonder how much will one cost. Any idea??
