That's down 0.1, the Aventador does it 2.9s stock from most sources. Also the faster a car is, the harder it is to get the 0-60 time down. That weight loss still helped with handling, top speed and fuel economy.
Yeah, carbon fiber body panels don't really save much weight. Maybe 40 pounds for an entire body, at most. Article title is kind of misleading.
perfectly idiotic way to ruin a great car (even though i don't even like Lamborghini very much to start with). these mods and the "tuning" (meaning f*cking it up, excuse my French) company "Mansuckery" are just idiotic
I think they should have painted it, the exposed carbon fiber thing is too common now, and it's getting old
The rims are not too great but the rest of the car more than makes up for it
See I'm the opposite I think it doesn't look great , the rims in particular
This is the 1st mansory car that doesn't make me want to rip my eyes out. It actually looks incredible!

@tom, @wyatt - this car is all carbon fiber. It's a mistake in the article. See google.
@Tom: That's what I got from the article too. It's not really that impressive.
The best part is that the fibers line up throughout the entire car. Perfection at its finest.
Until you see it I person... No one else bookmarks every panel of carbon like Pagani does.

Roof is just a body panel. They replaced it with cf. Not layered. Not that hard to change. They just had to remove the headliner.
How do they replace the the roof with carbon fiber? Cut out the roof and replace it with carbon fiber?
I was half expecting to see a horrid cf bonnet with minimal trim. But this... Oh no this was well planned. I'm in love with the quality of this one
At least this is tastefully done. I was getting ready to flip if I turned the page and saw an all CF 458.

why do they write a story on this car every 5 minutes? the mods are hideous IMO, and carbuzz just seem to not be able to not mention this abomination every chance they get
THAT is how gold should be used on a car, nice looking stripes and some subtle touches of it elsewhere, good looking car
Love the R8. Looks like a spaceship compared to every other car in the road. But this looks like a high schoolers honda civic gone bad.
This car is amazing. Gold looks pretty good, something different, looks like the stripes continue at the bottom of the front fascia which looks a bit off.
Yea idk about the gold I think if you take it off I might like it a little more but looks so sick!!!
I disagree, if you take the gold away, it gets boring, how many times has a black car been done, right

I like the fact that the car looks pretty stock, but that black out treatment is bad ass
You can get price quote from Zoltek, a carbon fiber manufacture. Cheap stuff will run you about $150 per pound while steel for about $1 per pound. My company has used them many times.
Mike you are absolutely correct. Most carbon fiber uses a small about of actual carbon nanotubes. If these super cars would use the 90-95% carbon nanotubes in the carbon fiber than the cost would most likely double the car price.
Not positive but depending on quality I believe carbon fiber has the potential to be stronger.
I get that carbon fiber makes cars lighter .. But doesn't it make them weaker also ?! I mean is it as strong as normal steel or aluminum ?
Nobody knows how to spell.
Session elemento.....sesto elento.... Lol
@Ken obviously you dont realize this is about conversions
this list is horrible, the only car i agree with being on here is the huayra. that aventador isnt even full carbon! where is a koenigsegg agera r? i realize this is more about conversions but still.
Ironic. My girlfriend motto is also "No Fatties" !
@Nick this article is more about carbon fiber conversions to existing cars. If you owned a supercar, you could buy any of these kits right now.. The session elemento is still a one-off, with nothing yet in production
What I want to know is exactly how many pounds each car lost after all that money spent on carbon fiber
I think you only read the title and saw the pictures.
Aye, why isn't the Lambo Sesto elento on here? It's named after carbon itself for christs sake...
