The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento ("Sixth Element" in English)



The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento ("Sixth Element" in English) is a two-door, two-seater, V10 high-performance lightweight limited edition car produced by Italians', which debuted at the 2010 Paris Motor Show. The Sesto Elemento's name is a reference to the atomic number of carbon, in recognition of the car's extensive use of carbon fibre.




The Sesto Elemento is equipped with a 6-speed semi-automatic transmission with paddle shift and all wheel drive system, he has  borrowed the same 5.2 litre V10 engine from his sibling Gallardo that can , generate 578 PS and 540 N·m of torque. The chassis, body, drive shaft and suspension components are made of carbon fiber, reducing the overall weight to a mere 999 kilograms, a weight comparable to subcompact cars such as a Honda Fit. It is the lightest car Lamborghini has ever produced. 


Air is released through 10 distinctive hexagonal holes in the engine cover, while two intakes funnel cool air into the mid-mounted engine compartment. The Sesto Elemento's high power combined with low overall weight translate to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.57 hp/kg.


Lamborghini claims a 0–100 km/h acceleration time of just 2.5 seconds.Lamborghini sources said that "...they will sell it in very small numbers, in 2013."
The Sesto Elemento's interior is generally minimal with few vehicle comforts such as airconditioning and car stereo. The seats are built into the chassis of the vehicle, reducing weight and production costs.


Lamborghini has announced that there will only 20 number will be there for the whole planet.  and unfortunately  all are sold for mind boggling price of US$2.92 million. 

The car appears in the 2014 film Need for Speed, driven by Dino, the main antagonist. He offers the car to anyone who can stop protagonist Tobey Marshall's Ford Mustang. It is also driven at the De Leon car race, ultimately crashing out.
The Sesto Elemento also appears as playable vehicle in many video games: Asphalt, Need for Speed,  Forza Horizon, Grand Theft Auto V.

7 sarcastic rule for Indian Roads

On Indian roads, traffic laws are optional art forms. A red light signals a race, zebra crossings are floor décor, and honking is the official language. Driving here isn’t about discipline but about improvising like a street performer—survival demands sharp reflexes, blind faith, and a generous dose of sarcasm. 1 After all, why fix behaviour when you can sell accessories with a green signal? On Indian roads, rules are a comedy show. You cannot use earphones while riding a two-wheeler—it’s unsafe, they say. But a Bluetooth helmet? Oh, that’s perfectly fine! Because clearly, music and calls become safer when delivered through an overpriced helmet. As if the rider’s focus magically improves when the voice in their head comes from a “government-approved” gadget. Meanwhile, the same rider weaves through potholes, dodges cattle, and squeezes between buses like it’s an action stunt. Road safety here isn’t about logic, it’s about loopholes. After all, why fix behaviour when you can sell acces...
