Stop EVERYTHING, I’ve found a Sesto Elemento 🚨
There are perhaps fewer than 100 models of cars across the globe that the spotters give ‘hero car’ status.
Cars so special that extreme measures will be taken to get photos of them. Countries and even continents crossed just for a single vehicle. The stories I could share… truly embarrassing but I am what I am.
A road-legal Lamborghini Sesto Elemento is such a car. Only 20 were ever made, and they were originally track-only cars… in no way should this one be floating around Monterey. It sold out before anyone had even seen one.
They are basically a love letter to carbon fibre and weigh less than a Mazda MX5… almost everything is carbon: chassis, body panels, suspension components, even the wheels and propshaft are carbon.
Hopefully, this goes some way to explaining why it deserves its hero car status. Feel free to guess what the others might be, some are quite surprising.
