Mako Report post Posted May 11, 2011 SESTO ELEMENTO GETS PRODUCTION NOD Apparently....Not sure if it's true.... Do any of you guys know anything about this? Yes, this is old news. 20 examples for track only, not street legal anywhere (including Europe). An expensive toy, they'll be lucky to sell all 20 even to the hungry-for-bullshit Middle East.

jota Report post Posted May 11, 2011 Very tight. Only real race cars can come in as race cars and they have to be eligible for a specific race and have history as being raced. How tight are they on the definition of "specific events", and is there a time limit? Meaning that if someone claimed they're starting their own racing series by just renting out their local track once a month (and maintained that rental indefinitely) would the regulatory body be able to do anything? Wouldn't be too much of a strecth for someone capable of paying the ticket on a Zonda R or this Sesto Elemento or any other seven-figure exotic that isn't street legal and then making it a pseudo-legal track toy through track rentals until they get bored with it...

BLK85 Report post Posted May 11, 2011 You can bring a Sesto into the US, but it has to be on a racing schedule. Specific events that it'll compete in and then it has to leave when those events are over. That's how they bring in the Audi R15's etc. But yeah, it doesn't work for someone who just wants a track day car. How does it work for the Lotus 2-Eleven then? My understanding is its not street legal in the US but there are many people that have them as track day toys? Or is it because they are so close to the Elise/Exige, thats what allows them in the US?

DickSimmons Report post Posted May 16, 2011 An expensive toy, they'll be lucky to sell all 20 even to the hungry-for-bullshit Middle East. It's probably the only place they'll sell them. The people who will buy these will be above the law in their respective locations and so they will end up on the street. They are also some of the only idiots who buy up this crap. It would take a serious idiot to buy a $2MM car with $200K car parts that you can only drive on the track. $2MM CF Gallardo, or LMP2 car... hmmm.

It's not the only market for SE's, as Asia buys into that shit too. Here's the latest offering. The Audi R8 Pure Sport edition. UAE only. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-04-07/a...tackle-bmw.html And here's someone in Kuwait complaining that they want more of their own SE's lol http://lbazaar.com/2011/04/audi-r8-limited...e-for-uae-only/ I'm just giving you a hard time, q8y, but you can't deny there is a huge demand in the ME for what most everyone else considers crap and brand whoring.
