Lamborghini Newport Beach has posted a classified ad at duPontREGISTRY.com for the Sesto Elemento. Coming from an official Lamborghini dealer, does this prove the Sesto Elemento will be built in limited numbers? Here is what the classified ad states:

“Lamborghini is redefining the future of the super sports car with a unique technology demonstrator. Boasting an extremely lightweight construction thanks to advanced carbon-fiber technology, the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento has an overall curb weight of just 999 kilograms (2,202 lb) including V10 power unit and permanent all-wheel drive. This makes the Sesto Elemento a unique demonstration of the technological expertise of Automobili Lamborghini. Innovative carbon-fiber technologies are being used here for the first time in an automotive application. As a 100 percent subsidiary of AUDI AG, the Italian carmaker also benefits from the undisputed expertise of the German manufacturer when it comes to lightweight construction.With its amazing output of 570 hp, sensational power-to-weight ratio of only 1.75 kilograms per hp and 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration of only 2.5 seconds, the Sesto Elemento guarantees unparalleled driving fun. At the same time, fuel consumption also drops because of the extreme lightweight engineering applied throughout.The name of this technology demonstrator is derived from the periodic table, where carbon is classified as the sixth element. Thus, the Sesto Elemento demonstrates the worldwide leading expertise of Lamborghini in carbon-fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) technology. The super sports car brand from SantAgata Bolognese is the only vehicle manufacturer in the world to have mastered the complete CFRP process across a range of technologies, from 3D design through simulation, validation, production and testing all in a state-of-the-art industrial process that stands for the very highest quality standards.”

We are told that Lamborghini is accepting orders for the Sesto Elemento and people who put down the required deposits “will get the car.” The car is being sold for 1.5-million Euros, or approximately $2.4 million at the current exchange rate. The payment system will be like that of the Reventon, which required three down payments of 300,000 Euros plus a lump sum at the end, although the amount for the down payments might be higher for the Sesto. We could not confirm the exact production number, but three units are slated for the U.S. and, if he had to guess, the rest of the world will get seven or 12 cars. Beyond that, the car will be exactly like the concept, which also means it will not be street legal.

The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento was released as a concept car at the Paris Motor Show.
