I like the style of it, but I find it is almost as if someone squished it together and it caused an awkward hump/arch in the center.

Only 20 being produced as we speak! I think it's ugly, but I'm sure it'll look amazing in person if I ever get to see one!

The fact that its not street legal makes it very impractical and is purely a collectors car that will most likely just sit pretty

I like the agressive design. This seems to be the direction of future models. I'm hoping that the G replacement will have some of that design. We need to face it, things are getting more pointed, with harder lines.

i thought it was ugly when it first came out a couple years ago. although it still looks like a cockroach, i think it has investment potential.

at $2.5M, it's a steal compare to a road car like enzo. prototypes are so much more cooler and collectible. although it is not street legal, it is a fully functional car that is extremely light. it's what a future car needs to be. light and powerful. besides, how many enzos are driven anyways?

True but at least you have the option of driving it when you want.

Having to trailer the car to a track and then get rocks pitting the matte clear finish has to suck and will just kill the value of the car as a collectible car.

It will remain to be seen if the $2.5mill price tag will hold over the years.

I do think it's a great concept and a practical exercise of using cf on a low volume production car but it would have been that much more awesome if it was street legal and you can at least drive it to cars and coffee or a car show when you want to.

As with most other Lambo's it had to grow on me, but now I think it looks awesome. But there are some problems with it: The price tag, and the fact its not street legal. You pay $2.5M for something you can't drive on the road, and have to trailer to the track? Thats just insane. Not to mention I get the feeling that because it is a track car it's so gutted, and lacking any luxuries, that you're really just paying for the rarity.

I love when Jay Leno took a look at the Sesto, and the first thing he does when the presenter opens the door is grabs onto the window pane with both hands and starts bending it to show just how flexible and thin the plastic windows are; the presenter grabs on to the window really quickly and says "yes this was made for race" and then quickly changes the subject. That gave me a pretty good laugh, it just seemed like they were trying to hide how cheap the windows really are. The horrors the Lamborghini people must have felt when they saw Leno man-handling the one example in the world.. lol. All in all though, if I had the money for a $2.5M track car, a $50K per year track membership, and $80K for flatbeding such a low car every so often, I'd definitely buy one lol.

I like it because of its lines, also a great collector car too. Too bad its not street legal, if it was, that would be insane to see on the road
