Lamborghini Sesto to cost £2 million

[camshafted]

I know there are a few people on PH who will have a genuine interest in the Sesto - but would the £2 million price-tag put you off?

The Reventon, which cost about £800k IIRC, sold out instantly but most of these are up for sale on Jameslist now so I wonder about the Sesto.

Still, as a person-who-likes-to-look-but-cant-afford-to-touch I think it's awesome

There was a point after both the Reventon and Roadster had sold that there were between 20 and 30 on JamesList...that is out of 50 in total IIRC. I think a lot of these cars are 'bought' by speculators who wish to turn a quick profit.

But, as the article says, I am sure there will be 20 people on earth with that sort of money that are daft enough (in a good way - I want to see one )! It takes car prices to a new level!

None of these make sense as a "normal" car purchase as you can get better performance from the less exotic variants. The Reventon did not outperform the Murcie SV for example and I am sure the Seisto will not out perform either the Aventador or the Gallardo replacement BUT people buy them for their rarity value and hence you will always get people who have enough money to purchase and not care about either performance or future values. Great that these people exist else Lambo would not make them. After this evening's £85m win I will be one of them!!

0-60 in 2.5 will trump both of them and with it weighing less than a tonne no doubt it will blitz them both on a track as well...

You would have to be on glue.

Yes, I think this is a much better proposition than the Reventon. It seems like even at 1.7million it represents far better value for money!

It's not even going to be road legal.

I may have to reconsider my purchase now, I can't justify that

There were 20 Coupes and 15 Roadsters, so to have over half of them up for sale at once is staggering.

I am glad you know the performance of the Gallardo replacement. Given the differences on Aventador to Murcielargo I would not be so sure.

I know it won't do 0-60 in 2.5 seconds or weigh less than 1000kg.

But hopefully road legal! Who says the road legal Siesto will do what the prototype does? Anyway it is pretty academic as nearly £1.5m differnce in price for 0.5 sec to 60 is hardly VFM!!
