Mamma Mia! This Might Be a Street-Legal Lamborghini Sesto Elemento



Remember the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento? How could you forget? Introduced in 2010, the ultra-limited, Gallardo-based hypercar packed a 5.2-liter V-10 tuned to 562 horsepower, and had carbon-fiber-everything—the chassis, the body, the driveshaft, even the wheels.

With all that carbon fiber work, plus no stereo or air conditioning, the Sesto Elemento weighed just 2,202 pounds (or 999 kilograms). Unfortunately, that meant it wasn’t street-legal—not that any of the 20 very lucky owners were likely to take their multi-million-dollar hypercar to the grocery store.

But at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, Lanzante—the British tuning shop known for making track cars street legal—may have quietly introduced a street-legal version of the iconic Sesto Elemento. And we’re obsessed.

Admittedly, there aren’t a lot of details on this car (yet). We’ve reached out to Lanzante in hopes of securing some official info. But a video from the user jonnys.nb on TikTok shows the Sesto Elemento driving on public roads in the UK with the caption “Road legal Sesto Elemento.” And it does have a real, actual license plate.

The car, admittedly, doesn’t look all that different from the track-only version introduced in 2020. But we can imagine there are a few hidden modifications under all that carbon that make this Sesto Elemento road-legal, at least in the UK.

A second video posted to the Goodwood Festival of Speed’s social channels confirms that this car, indeed, does come from Lanzante. The Sesto Elemento in question made a run up the Goodwood Hillclimb late yesterday.

As mentioned, we’ve reached out to Lanzante to confirm that this is indeed the real deal. If this Sesto Elemento is indeed street-legal, it would be a world’s first.
