Following the events of Pebble Beach, Lamborghini of Newport Beach, California, took hold of the world's only Sesto Elemento in order to ring in the grand opening of their brand new showroom.
The Sesto Elemento, as you may remember, is a concept that previews a forthcoming production model that will cost around $2.2 million (€1.75 million) with only 20 examples to be built.
The Italian supercar weighs in at only 2,000 lb (999 kg) and features a 570bhp V10 engine, good enough for a 2.4 second sprint to 60 mph (100 km/h).
So what a better way for the only factory authorized dealer in all of Southern California to celebrate a new showroom than with a special appearance by Lamborghini CEO himself Stephen Winkelmann and the current rarest model in the world?
After what we assume to be a strenuous unload from the delivery truck due to its extremely low ride height, the Sesto Elemento was placed on a platform under a veil and revealed to attendees later that night.
Although the Sesto Elemento only bowed on stage for one night in Costa Mesa, the rare model did manage to pull some celebrity faces and possible future buyers into the door.

The Elemento has grown on me in looks and I hope the Gallardo replacement, likely named the Cabrera takes its exterior design cues from both the Aventador and the Elemento (with the Aventador's interior).
Rear view camera's must be used in place of conventional mirrors.
Love this car, but could they not have designed a proper rear bumper to cover everything instead of leaving it looking like something unfinished?
showing the transmission casing is nice on motorcycles, not on cars and especially not sticking out the back...
The Lambo Elemento looks wonderful, but so fierce I would be afraid it might eat my dog!! It makes the new Vette look like a derivitive of current has been trends. This Elemento makes my heart race like the first time I saw a Ferrari F1 under full power off of a slow corner.
Can you say new clutch because that car is going to need one quick!Guess its too heavy to push or the
bodywork is too fragile to push against.I would have a large forklift with the padded blades to avoid all
this abuse to the cars drivetrain.Not like the lambo's clutch is all that strong anymore.since the computers
are doing all the shifting now except for low speed maneuvering!
