The day the Shmee150 Facebook page reached a giant 20,000 fans (www.facebook.com/shmee150) just so happened to coincide with the arrival of a rather special car in London, the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento.

The Sesto Elemento (or 6th Element) was introduced at the 2010 Paris Motorshow as a track going weapon weighing in at just 999kg. It's thought that a total of 20 could be built with a price tag in the €2 million region.

The car arrived here where it will be on show in the Lamborghini London dealership in South Kensington, London however it's behind closed doors to the public so it was fantastic to not only see the car again in person but at home.

A lot of questions have been asked as to why the car is not started, the explanation is that it had just arrived at London Heathrow from Saudi Arabia. For transit, vehicles must be emptied of fuel and therefore on arrival it would need to be connected to a race pump to re-fuel and there was no time/access to one available, hence the engine could not be run sadly for me filming this!

A lot of elements of the Sesto Elemento helped in the development of the new £3.1m Veneno.

Thanks for watching, Tim

    Just learned that this man stayed up for 26 hours just to capture this car, and upload it. Look at him now. Hard to deny his hard work, and passion. Thank you for sharing so much with us for so long. You're truly an inspiration!

    That scratch on the bottom of the splitter was thirty grand's worth of damage!
  • @Shmee150
    It's not all about top speed; if it gets around any track quicker than a Veyron for example, it's a hypercar in my books.
  • It’s absolutely insane that Shmee waited 27 hours outside for this car to arrive. The hard work paid off Shmee. Well done sir
  • @TheKille22
    Oh my God! Watch out there is a bubble gum on the road! Better go arround it!
  • @Shmee150
    I agree, I'd love to film this on a track. Who knows maybe one day.
  • @jobawickuk
    Steven Sulley's Interview with Shmee shows the hardwork he put in to see cars like this. Shmee stood on the street for 27 hours in cold December to film this car...

    The carbon fibre is incredibly thin, they had to keep it as lightweight as possible to be under 1000kg
  • why is everyone complaining about the car being too low to the ground, when it's a track car and probably not even road-legal?
  • It's amazing how many people that don't know shit about cars in this comment section.
  • THE TOUCHING OF THE BARE HANDS AND DIRTY GOLVES TO DE CAR MADE ME LEGIT SCREAM IN AGONY
