Lamborghini Sesto Elemento: which version to buy
There is one catalogue choice: 5.2 DSG. Lamborghini listed the Sesto Elemento for 2010–2011 as a single generation, a Coupe, and a single modification. If you are comparing “which trim,” “which engine,” or “which generation” inside this model line, the data set does not give a second row to pick. The decision is whether 5.2 DSG matches the numbers you need, not which sibling to take.

Generations: what actually changed between years
1 generation ran from 2010-01-01 to 2011-12-31. Body: Coupe. Modifications in this generation: 1.
That one modification is 5.2 DSG, with the same start and stop dates as the generation. There is no restyle row, no second body, and no later generation in the data. Year-to-year shopping inside 2010–2011 is not a spec change in this catalogue: production window is two calendar years, version count is one.
Arithmetic on the generation itself: 1 generation × 1 version = 1 powertrain to specify. You cannot rank “early vs late” on horsepower, torque, or kerb weight because those fields are not duplicated with different values.
Specs of the only version: 5.2 DSG
| Version | hp | Nm | Displacement (cc) | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Gears | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5.2 DSG | 570 | 540 | 5204 | Gasoline | 10 | V-shaped | No | Robotic | 6 | AWD |
Same row, rest of the powertrain as given: 419 kW at 8000 rpm for the 570 hp peak; 540 Nm at 6500 rpm; 4 valves per cylinder; engine position Central; supply Distributed injection (multi-point); fuel grade 98. Compression ratio: not measured. Bore and stroke: not measured.
Derived figures from those numbers (not extra catalogue fields):
- Displacement in litres: 5204 / 1000 = 5.204 L
- Power per litre: 570 / 5.204 ≈ 109.5 hp/L
- Torque per litre: 540 / 5.204 ≈ 103.8 Nm/L
- Power per cylinder: 570 / 10 = 57 hp per cylinder
- Torque per cylinder: 540 / 10 = 54 Nm per cylinder
- Peak power vs peak torque rpm gap: 8000 − 6500 = 1500 rpm
- kW vs hp: 419 kW is the listed electrical-equivalent peak next to 570 hp; 570 / 419 ≈ 1.36 hp per listed kW
Boost is No. There is no turbo or supercharged sibling in the table, so you are not paying for a second induction type. Drive is AWD only; gearbox is Robotic with 6 gears only. A buyer looking for rear-drive, automatic, or a different gear count will not find it under this model key.
Performance and economy: what the one version actually posts
5.2 DSG 0–100: 2.5 s. Top speed: not measured. City consumption: not measured. Highway consumption: not measured. Combined consumption: not measured. CO2: not measured. Eco class: not measured.
If your shortlist is built on mpg, top speed, or CO2 bands, this catalogue cannot rank 5.2 DSG against anything else in the line because those cells are empty and there is no second version. The only measured performance number is 2.5 s to 100. Combined with kerb weight 999 kg and 570 hp:
- Time implied as seconds per 100 hp: 2.5 / (570 / 100) ≈ 0.44 s per 100 hp (a ratio of the two given figures, not a test result)
- Horsepower per kilogram: 570 / 999 ≈ 0.571 hp/kg
- Kilograms per horsepower: 999 / 570 ≈ 1.75 kg/hp
Fuel type is Gasoline, grade 98. Tank size is not measured, so range and “mpg at the pump” cannot be computed from this data.
Dimensions and weight: what you are actually buying by mass
Kerb weight 5.2 DSG: 999 kg. Gross weight: not measured. Ground clearance: not measured. Tank: not measured. Wheel sizes: not measured.
Chassis labels that are listed: front suspension Independent, spring; rear suspension Independent, spring; front brakes Ventilated disc; rear brakes Disc ventilated.
With only kerb weight measured, payload and “loaded vs empty” ratios are not measured (gross is missing). Ground clearance is not measured, so this is not a height-comparison article. Wheel size is not measured, so tyre packages are not a version differentiator here.
Mass arithmetic that is allowed from kerb + power + displacement:
- 999 kg at 570 hp → ≈ 1.75 kg/hp
- 999 kg at 5.204 L → ≈ 192 kg per litre of listed displacement
- 999 kg at 10 cylinders → 99.9 kg per cylinder (mass divided by cylinder count, not a mechanical claim)
Which version to choose
Choose 5.2 DSG if the brief is this model, because it is the only modification in 1 generation. There is no second name to confuse with it, and no duplicate 5.2 DSG at a different horsepower. The name in the database is exactly 5.2 DSG.
What that one row buys, in the numbers given:
1. Power. 570 hp (419 kW) from 5204 cc, Gasoline, 10 cylinders, V-shaped, boost No. Specific output ≈ 109.5 hp/L. If you wanted a smaller engine or a boosted engine, it is not in this model’s modification list. 2. Torque. 540 Nm at 6500 rpm. Specific torque ≈ 103.8 Nm/L. Peak torque sits 1500 rpm below peak power (8000 rpm). 3. Drivetrain. Robotic, 6 gears, AWD. No alternate gearbox or drive is listed, so you are not choosing between them. 4. Body and layout. Coupe, engine Central. One body type for the generation. 5. Weight. 999 kg kerb. That is the only mass figure. ≈ 1.75 kg per listed horsepower. Gross, tank, clearance, wheels: not measured. 6. Sprint. 2.5 s to 100. Top speed not measured. Consumption not measured.
What extra money cannot buy inside this catalogue: a second generation, a restyle with different hp, a higher-output 5.2 DSG, a lighter or heavier official kerb, a different gear count, or a non-AWD version. Those rows are not present, so a price delta between versions is not computable from the data (and prices are not in the source).
Who should not pick another Sesto Elemento version: anyone waiting for a later generation, a different displacement, or an economy-rated variant. The production window ends 2011-12-31. After that date this generation’s listed modification also stops; there is no follow-on generation in the file.
Reliability / problems: not in the supplied data. Do not treat silence as a score.
Bottom line. For Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, the buyer question collapses to one exact string: 5.2 DSG — 570 hp, 540 Nm, 5204 cc, Gasoline, 10 / V-shaped, boost No, Robotic 6, AWD, 999 kg, 2.5 s to 100, Coupe, 1 generation, 2010–2011. If those figures are the brief, this is the version. If you need a second set of figures to compare, they are not in this model’s data.
