Several innovative technologies are at carbon fiber Sesto Elemento first used in the automotive industry.

The base of the Super-Lambo is an extremely strong but lightweight structure of carbon fiber. The passenger compartment is made as a monocoque. The entire front frame, the crash boxes and the outer skin parts are also made of CFRP. This abbreviation stands for "carbon fiber reinforced plastics", ie, carbon-fiber-reinforced plastics. When Sesto Elemento also essential parts of the suspension and the rims are made of carbon fiber. The exhaust tailpipes are made of Pyrosic, a glass-ceramic composite material, temperatures of up to 900 degrees withstand. The propeller shaft is made of CFRP. "Very well over 300 km / h" is the maximum amount of Sesto Elemento manufacturer. Made possible by the 570-hp V10 from the Gallardo LP 570-4 Supperleggera.
