NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Lamborghini's Sesto Elemento concept car, unveiled at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, will go into production at a price of about $2.2 million, the automaker has announced.
Only 20 will be built but there's one thing you should know before you sign up for yours. You won't be able to drive it on the street.
The production car will be virtually identical to the concept, which means it won't have airbags or other safety equipment required for legal use on roads in the U.S. or Europe. This car is strictly for use on a track.
Powered by a 570 horsepower V10 engine, the Sesto Elemento is made almost entirely from lightweight but very expensive carbon fiber. The body, its wheels and part of the suspension system are made from carbon fiber. The car weighs about 2,200 pounds, which is less than a Honda Fit subcompact.
Lamborghini boasts that the car can go from zero to 60 miles an hour in just 2.6 seconds.

Looks like a Cala but linnear.
I'd love to work for them and get paid to release BS like this. People will buy almost anything and they will make profit out of just about anything.

And you all couldn't be more wrong.
Sure it looks like an Aventador mounted a Gallardo and the result was born with down syndrome and then tuned by Mansory
And maybe it totally defeats the purpose of a Lambo
But I bet it goes like hell and imho it's a thing of infinite beauty.
And if you can afford the 2 million+ to cover the sticker (probably wont sell any for less than 2.5) you can afford the upkeep, and that means it can be streeted under the Bill Gates law.
Order of Lambo purchasing importance:
1. THIS
2. Miura SV
3. Murc SV
4. Jalpa
5. LM02
6. Mid 50's Tractor (after the military surplus BS)
7. Espada S3 (pre '75)
8. Countach LP500S

Ehem.
I'll take a Lancia 037 instead of this sheitze. It's probably 5 million dollars cheaper, 5 million times better looking, and nearly as fast.

I'd be the only guy on my street with a Lambo Tractor too. 
I like the lack of hate for saying I'd take the 13k Espada over it's 100k younger sister.
I mean, sure the Countach looks cool, but it's a brick and everybody (*cough* relatively so *cough*) has one.
