Track-only carbon-fibre Lamborghini — Gallardo V10, 999 kg dry, 20 cars.
Revealed at the 2010 Paris Motor Show and announced as a 20-car series, the Sesto Elemento is a track-focused Lamborghini built almost entirely from carbon-fibre — including the chassis, body, driveshaft, suspension components and wheels. Lamborghini quotes 999 kg including the engine and transmission. Power comes from the 5.2-litre Gallardo LP570-4 V10 producing 570 CV / 562 bhp, driving all four wheels through a six-speed automated-manual transaxle. Cars were built from 2012.
The Sesto Elemento was not homologated for road use by the factory, and cars are typically owned for collection display or restricted track use. A small number have since been converted for road registration by specialists: Lanzante showed a road-legal example at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed, and one converted car is now registered in the United States.
Lamborghini's most extreme carbon-fibre statement; precursor in spirit to the Veneno / Centenario / Sián.

Start with identity, paperwork and originality. For the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, the strongest cars have continuous ownership history, matching numbers where applicable, original books and tools, factory build documentation and evidence of work by manufacturer-approved specialists. Original allocation, low ownership chain.
Gallardo V10 service; specialist work only. A proper pre-purchase inspection includes cold-start behaviour, ECU diagnostics and fault-code history (where applicable), leak-down or compression testing, underbody photography, suspension and chassis inspection, brake condition and a long enough road test to expose heat-related faults. Deferred maintenance on a car of this class is almost always more expensive than buying a better-sorted example.
Use a paint-depth gauge, lift access and a specialist familiar with the model's factory panel gaps and finish standards. Collector value is dramatically affected by structural repairs, refinished panels, poor paintwork and missing factory trim or option content. Documented cosmetic refresh is acceptable; concealed accident or fire damage must be priced severely.
Original spec, low ownership chain, Lamborghini service. Specification, colour, options and limited-build variants move values significantly. Buy the best-documented example in the most desirable specification you can justify, rather than a tired example of a rarer derivative that will need years of corrective work.
