Anonymous Hong Kong collector snaps up ultra-rare Lamborghini Sesto Elemento
Only 20 of the super lightweight carbon-fibre supercars will be made, and the owner can’t even drive his on public roads in Hong Kong
A Hong Kong automobile collector has taken delivery of an exclusive new Lamborghini supercar of which only 20 will be made and is estimated to cost more than HK$25 million.
The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento has been built using advanced carbon-fibre technologies developed in partnership with US aerospace company Boeing. The supercar is extremely light, weighing just 999kg, enabling it to reach 100km/h in just 2.5 seconds and a top speed of 300km/h.
A spokesman for Kingsway Motors, Lamborghini’s long-time distributor in Hong Kong, says the buyer can not be named, but is known to be a keen car collector.
“In Hong Kong we have a serious and loyal customer database. We are trying to give priority [for the Sesto Elemento] to our existing customers,” a Lamborghini spokesman told the Post at the time.
He said the car would cost about 1.6 million euros. However, there have been reports that a buyer in the UK had paid £2.3 million (HK$27.6 million) for the car. Lamborghini Hong Kong could not confirm the price.
