This Lamborghini Sesto Elemento supercar, based on the Lamborghini Gallardo, is finally street legal, and it has been seen at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

When built, the Stesto Elemento was a track-only supercar based on the Gallardo.

Only a handful have ever been made, but it only seemed a matter of time before one of them was converted to be used on public roads, becoming street legal.

Now, one of them has been, and those at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2025 might be able to spot it at the world-famous event, and it has been converted thanks to Lanzante.

What is the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento?

With so few of them produced, there is a chance some have never even heard of the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento.

The Sesto Elemento was built in 2011, using the Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera as its basis.

The Italian manufacturer designed it as a wild, track-only supercar with extra power.

Under the hood is a 5.2-liter Lamborghini V10 making 562hp and 398lb-ft of torque.

Key to its success, however, was its lightness, as the car weighed just 2,202lbs.

The company had hoped to build 20 in total, with each one costing $2.92 million.

At the time, it was the most expensive Lamborghini ever made.

The supercar is on display at the Goodwood Festival of Speed

If you are at the UK’s Goodwood Festival of Speed over the weekend of 12th-13th July, you may see the supercar on show.

Despite wanting to make 20 of them, Lamborghini only ever made 10 examples of the supercar, according to records.

By contrast, the Lamborghini Gallardo was built in much larger numbers.

None of them left the factory in street-legal condition.

This one is seemingly the first to be converted to such a condition.

The car was photographed on British roads heading to the event, with images popping up on Instagram.

It may become one of the stars of the show, with enthusiasts no doubt flocking to get a glimpse of it.

Reports of this car being street legal seemingly surfaced around a year ago, but nobody knew where it was.

Fast forward to July 2025, and it looks like we finally have the answer.

The question is, have more Sesto Elementos been converted for use on public roads?
