THE FUTURE OF LAMBORGHINI - Sesto Elemento shows new road for Italian dreams

摘要

APPARENTLY, YOU can only add so much horsepower. Sooner or later, you have to start subtracting weight. Lamborghini has reached that point, exquisitely so, with its carbon-fiber Sesto Elemento concept car. While rumors have abounded for months that next year's Murcielago replacement will be a full carbon-fiber supercar, the Sesto Elemento hints that even the next Gallardo, which isn't due for another two years, will use the high-tech composite material. That's because the Sesto Elemento is about the right size for a Gallardo replacement and runs the same V10 power-plant, which, in this body, will produce 0-to-60-mph times of less than 2.5 seconds. That would make it the fastest Lamborghini in history.
