Just because you can afford a £200,000+ Lamborghini doesn’t mean you’re happy to spend another £40,000-60,000 personalising it. There ‘are’ other things to spend your money on and contrary to popular belief, even if you’ve acquired wealth that doesn’t mean you’re in a great hurry to dispose of it.
Automobili Lamborghini’s President and CEO, Stephan Winkelmann, presented the new Gallardo LP 570-4 Super Trofeo at a press conference in the Atalaya Centre at the Navarra race circuit yesterday.
It’s not often I’ll use the words ‘anti-climax’ in the same sentence as ‘Lamborghini’, but with all the kerfuffle started by Lamborghini’s ‘NOVA’ video, you’d have thought something genuinely ‘New’ was being presented at the Paris Motor Show.

Back in 2010, Lamborghini revealed the Sesto Elemento (“Sixth Element”) – a carbon fibre based supercar, powered by the Gallardo’s 562bhp V10, but weighing less than 1,000kg. The car reached ‘very’ limited production (less than 20 cars), which is hardly surprising given its $2.2 million price tag.

In 1978, Director Claude Lelouch produced a 10 minute short-film called C’était un Rendezvous (“It was a date”) , showing a high speed drive through the streets of Paris. The sequence was filmed by a camera mounted on the bumper of a Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9, then dubbed with the sound of Lelouch’s Ferrari 275GTB. The rest as they say is history.
Lamborghini’s CEO Stephan Winkelmann confirmed this evening they will build just 20 units of the Sesto Elemento, the carbon-based super sports car that first appeared at the Paris Motor Show last year.
