Sesto available for purchase yet?

As title really, can you purchase a Sesto Elemento now?

I'll never be in a position to buy any supercar / hypercar, but it's my observation that these sorts of ultra-rare 'halo' special editions are usually pre-sold to existing and valued customers - or celebrities like Jay Kay, Nick Mason, Eric Clapton who are overt petrolheads and offer lots of free publicity. (The Ferrari 599GTO, for example was announced as being 'sold out' straight away - was it though? Another story perhaps.) So I'm sure that the Sesto Elemento is already sold out, even though there'll only be 20 of them made and it's rumoured to cost millions - have you got a spare $2.8 million just in case a slot becomes available?!

There was some doubt if the Aston Martin One-77 ever sold out completely, but I imagine it did in the end.

Yeah they are accepting 'letters of intent' for the Sesto Elemento. Heres a tweet from Lamborghini London: https://twitter.com/lamborghiniuk/status/125863741...

Thought as much, someone is spamming the Middle East forum looking for rich Qataris to scam, apparently has a Sesto available for 'immediate delivery'

If Lambo state that they'll make no more than 20 of these, what happens if they get more than 20 serious enquiries from people genuinely in a position to purchase? Draw straws or what?!

I would say if a dealer has gone on twitter saying they're taking deposits, that they don't have 20 enquiries yet.

I didn't see the other thread, but I know of Cal and I think there may be more to the story than was written.

You can't just leave it hanging like that...

[dxbtiger]

The thread was deleted, I (and some others) posted some personal details that were against forum rules so it got yanked.

Shmee, would be very interested to know what you know, email me through here if you can.

I'm sure he's a good chap, it's a well known route from mobile hair dresser to detailed to worlds biggest car dealer.

In jest, he should have just came on introduced himself and as a fellow petrol head shared a few juicy motoring photos... Instead he tried to act the big uns, playing that his new company is massive in the middle east and not thinking any of us have tHe connections to check

skateboard salesman to bespoke supercar manufacturer, hmmmmm. as i said in the thread [i am sometimes drawn to sarcasm] i can just imagine all those billionaire sheikhs wondering around cannes looking for a golf cart salesman to make their dreams into reality.

shmee, your opinion on these matters is valid. i will eat my crustiest undergarments if cal is on the level.
