The idea of a supercar with a V10 engine and all-wheel drive weighing less than a Mazda MX-5 Miata seems unlikely, but Lamborghini pulled it off more than a decade ago when it unveiled the Sesto Elemento at the 2010 Paris Auto Show. The stunning supercar was meant to remain a concept, but overwhelming interest led to a limited production run of just 20 units being announced a year later, making it one of the earliest entries in Lamborghini’s “few-off” series of ultra-exclusive models. The first was the Murciélago-based Reventón from a few years earlier.

The Sesto Elemento was based on the Gallardo, Lamborghini’s entry-level supercar at the time, but featured a unique carbon-fiber monocoque chassis and a host of additional weight-saving modifications that helped get its curb weight down to just 999 kilograms, or 2,202 pounds. This reliance on carbon fiber was highlighted by the car’s name, which in Italian means “Sixth Element,” a reference to carbon being the sixth element in the periodic table.

A Study In Lightweighting

In the late 2000s, Lamborghini began seriously exploring carbon-fiber technology as a key method to enhance the performance of its supercars. Recognizing the potential of advanced composites to reduce weight while increasing strength and rigidity, the automaker took a strategic step in 2009 by establishing a dedicated composite materials laboratory at the University of Washington in Seattle. The location, far from Lamborghini’s headquarters in Sant’Agata Bolognese, was deliberate: being close to Boeing’s massive aerospace manufacturing facilities allowed Lamborghini to collaborate with researchers who were developing cutting-edge composite technologies for the aerospace industry.

One of the most significant breakthroughs was the development of what Lamborghini calls forged composites. Traditional carbon-fiber production involves laying sheets of woven fibers, typically pre-impregnated with resin, into molds prior to curing – a process that is labor-intensive, costly, and prone to errors. Forged composites are created by compressing small, chopped carbon-fiber pieces – often taken from offcuts or recycled materials – and mixing these with resin inside a mold. The resulting composite material is nearly as strong as conventional carbon fiber but can be produced faster and at lower cost. Some parts can take just minutes to produce.

Lamborghini first showcased the potential of forged composites on the Sesto Elemento. It was used for the car’s central monocoque chassis, the front subframe, crash boxes, and body panels. Major suspension components, along with the driveshaft and wheels, were also made from carbon fiber, while the exhaust tips were made from Pyrosic, a glass-ceramic composite capable of sustaining high temperatures.

The Design And Specifications

The Lamborghini Sesto Elemento’s intensive use of carbon fiber allowed engineers to achieve an astonishing curb weight of just 2,202 lbs – the first time Lamborghini had built a car this light since the Countach Evoluzione, which was a similar study in composite materials developed under Horacio Pagani before he went off to start his own supercar company. To put this kind of weight into perspective, it’s roughly 100 lbs lighter than the current Mazda MX-5 Miata and a full 1,000 lbs less than the Gallardo on which it is based. While the Sesto Elemento was designed primarily as a track-focused car rather than an everyday supercar – making it not exactly an apples-to-apples comparison – the weight difference remains remarkably impressive.

What’s particularly noteworthy is that Lamborghini did not sacrifice its signature all-wheel-drive system in pursuit of weight savings. This is despite the fact that a rear-wheel-drive Gallardo variant – the LP 550-2 Valentino Balboni – had debuted a year earlier. Instead, Lamborghini adopted innovative design techniques to reduce weight elsewhere. One such technique was the merging of typically separate body parts into large, integrated superstructures; for example, the front fenders were combined with the front hood, and a similar approach was taken at the rear. These superstructures attach to the chassis using fasteners, allowing for quick removal and reinstallation during maintenance or repairs, while also simplifying construction and trimming excess weight.

This philosophy of eliminating unnecessary elements extended into the cabin as well. The interior was stripped down to the essentials, with no trim used except where absolutely necessary, such as on the seats. Components that couldn’t be removed were still optimized for lightness. For example, triangular cut-outs were strategically added to reduce weight while preserving structural integrity. Even the center console was minimalist, featuring only three buttons: one to start the engine, one to engage reverse gear, and one to operate the lights.

Straight To Production

Lamborghini confirmed the Sesto Elemento would enter production as a track-only car just a year after the concept’s debut, with CEO Stephan Winkelmann making the announcement at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show. At the time, Lamborghini was also unveiling the Gallardo LP 570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale. Winkelmann stated that the decision to build the Sesto Elemento was driven by strong interest from the public, with enough customer requests to justify creating a production run.

The final price was believed to be over $2 million, a staggering figure at the time. Coming just after the global financial crisis, well-heeled buyers were a little more conservative with their spending than they are today, especially in regards to a car that could be driven on the track only. As a result, Lamborghini never officially confirmed whether all 20 planned units were actually sold. However, several examples have surfaced on the used market over the years, confirming that at least a portion of the run was indeed delivered to the public.

Very little changed between the concept and the production Sesto Elemento. Lamborghini retained almost all the original design, including the raw carbon-fiber exterior protected by a matte clear coat. This wasn’t just ordinary black carbon fiber, either. In the final production stage, Lamborghini applied a special treatment containing microscopic red crystal flakes, giving the surfaces a distinctive red shimmer when viewed under light. Interior tweaks were minimal but practical, with added driver controls and a more informative digital gauge cluster.

Still Influences Cars Today

Lamborghini’s few-off cars like the Sesto Elemento aren’t simply created to appease well-heeled supercar fans looking to expand their private collections. These exclusive models serve a deeper purpose: they preview future design directions and technological innovations for the brand. This approach began with the Reventón, which introduced digital gauge clusters. The practice continued with the Sesto Elemento, which, during its reveal, Winkelmann emphasized that every future model would carry the influence of what he called the “spirit of the Sesto Elemento,” highlighting how crucial weight reduction and performance-driven design had become for the brand.

This tradition of few-offs has continued over the years with successive models. The Veneno, for example, explored advanced aerodynamics, while the later Sián took a step toward electrification. Now, Lamborghini is about to begin a new chapter with an upcoming few-off based on the Revuelto, set to be unveiled in mid-August during Monterey Car Week. The automaker states this new model will map out the future of the brand, continuing the legacy of these unique cars as both testbeds and showcases for Lamborghini’s next innovations.

At a time when almost every major company in the entertainment industry has its own subscription-based service, Microsoft has been particularly passionate about its own offerings. Over the past few years, Xbox has gone all in on Game Pass, being the only major gaming company to put its first-party releases on a subscription service from launch day at no extra cost. A risky strategy, but one that Xbox has stood by through thick and thin.

However, it looks like third-party developers aren’t as enthusiastic about this business model. In the wake of Xbox’s latest round of devastating lay-offs, two industry figures have shared their opinion that Game Pass has had a detrimental effect on the industry and has a negative impact on game sales.

Arkane Founder And Larian Publishing Head Hit Back At Xbox Game Pass

This was kicked off by Raphael Colantonio, founder of Arkane Studios, and current president of WolfEye Studios. Amidst the discussion about Xbox’s layoffs, Colantonio shared his thoughts on the matter, “Why is no-one talking about the elephant in the room? Cough cough (Gamepass)”

In the replies, Colantonio is dismissive of the idea that AI is solely to blame, and expands on his concerns with Game Pass.

“I think Gamepass is an unsustainable model that has been increasingly damaging the industry for a decade,” Colantonio writes. “I don’t think GP can co-exist with other models, they’ll either kill everyone else, or give up.” In another response, he says that Xbox’s actions are “throwing a tsunami at the entire ecosystem of the industry.”

Michael Douse, head of publishing at Baldur’s Gate 3 developer Larian, agrees with this sentiment. “‘What happens when all that money runs out?’ is the most vocal concern in my network, and one of the main economic reasons people I know haven’t shifted to its business model,” he says.

Both also push back against Xbox’s insistence that putting a game on Game Pass won’t cannibalise its sales. Douse does say that there is some value in smaller games going on the platform, but otherwise, neither seem keen on the idea of putting their releases on Game Pass. Instead, they argue that the service ought to host Xbox’s back catalogue, similar to what we see with PlayStation Plus.

Back in 2023, leaked memos gave us an idea of how much publishers are offered to have their titles put on Game Pass. In the memos, we saw that Xbox was willing to offer Larian just $5 million to get Baldur’s Gate 3 on the service, compared to $250 million for Mortal Kombat 1, and $300 million for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Xbox would likely offer Larian much more now, following Baldur’s Gate 3’s success, but the studio has already made it clear that it isn’t interested.

Meanwhile, Xbox faces criticism throughout the gaming industry. This is in response to the layoffs, which saw around 9,000 employees laid off, and multiple games cancelled. This includes the Perfect Dark reboot, an unannounced game from Romero Studios, and an MMO from Zenimax Online.

When it comes to WSL, most go for Ubuntu or Fedora and there’s a good reason for it. The learning curve is close to zero, whether you’re familiar with Linux or not. Plus there’s enough documentation and community support available to get you out of any mess. But I personally like to experiment with different Linux distros so I also tried NixOS in WSL. If you care more about a reproducible, declarative workspace than about sticking with a familiar apt or dnf workflow, I’d suggest you try it too.

NixOS turns WSL into an environment you can rebuild, clone, and roll back with a single command, yet it still gives you the same GUI, GPU, and USB features that Ubuntu and Fedora get under modern WSL.

Declarative approach

Plus cross-platform parity

Everything about a NixOS installation is declared inside a single text file, usually configuration.nix (or a flake.nix that imports it). When you run nixos-rebuild switch, the operating system is built directly from that file’s contents. No part of the system is hidden in interactive history or half-remembered package commands.

There are a lot of advantages to this approach. One is reproducibility. You can reinstall it on another PC or in CI and you get a byte-identical setup. Git history shows when a package was added, who added it, and why. And if you lose the VM image, you can keep the repo, recreate the system with one command and minutes of download time. The same flake can target WSL, a bare-metal server, a cloud VM or macOS via nix-darwin.

Perhaps the most persuasive reason for me is how NixOS in WSL helps unify development environments across all platforms. You can run NixOS on a headless Linux server for deployments, and also use Nix through Home Manager and nix-darwin on a Mac. By using NixOS in WSL on your Windows machine, your Windows dev setup, Linux servers, and macOS laptop can all stay in sync with the exact same versions of software.

Atomic updates

Go back if something is messed up

The upgrade process in NixOS makes life much easier. When you tweak your config and run nixos-rebuild switch, Nix builds the new system state in the background. It only switches over once everything is ready, so there are no partial updates that leave your setup in a broken state. If an upgrade introduces a bug, like a driver failure, you can simply reboot into a previous generation to fix it.

Even in WSL, NixOS keeps a full history of your system states. Each rebuild is versioned, letting you roll back easily without debugging or reinstalling anything. This is something you don’t get natively with apt or dnf inside typical WSL distros.

2

Per-project dev shells with nix develop

No containers needed

Another killer feature is how NixOS and the Nix toolchain handle development environments. If you often work on multiple projects with conflicting dependencies, such as different Node versions or Python libraries, you don’t need to juggle Docker containers or clutter your base system. Instead, you can use Nix’s per-project development shells.

The Nix shell tooling lets you spawn an environment with exactly the tools required for that project. Nothing persists once you exit. This is a major shift from how things usually work on Ubuntu or Fedora, where I would typically install and uninstall packages, or rely on tools like virtualenv and nvm to simulate isolation.

WSL integration is smooth

You have everything you need

There’s no point in using Linux on WSL if it doesn’t integrate well with Windows. NixOS in WSL works well with all the key features of WSL2. The latest NixOS-WSL release even includes native support for WSL’s built-in systemd, which means I can run background Linux services in WSL without any hacks.

Previously, the lack of PID 1 and systemd in WSL was a major limitation. But now, my NixOS WSL instance boots with systemd just like a regular Linux system. This enables features like timers, socket-activated services, and more, all of which are now supported by Ubuntu and Fedora on WSL as well.

Hardware and UI integration is equally seamless. If you need GPU acceleration for Linux apps, NixOS WSL includes an option to use the Windows host’s OpenGL graphics driver, allowing Linux GUI apps to take advantage of the GPU.

Also, if you want to access your NixOS files via a Windows application, simply point to the file path of:

\wsl.localhostNixOS

For example, I might want to use VS Code on the Windows side of my system. To point to the code living on my NixOS side, I’d point VS Code to:

\wsl.localhostNixOShomeanuragGitmy-repo-name

NixOS is fun to use

NixOS is an exciting Linux distro that finally convinced me to give up on Windows. I dual-booted it alongside Windows for the longest time, but I recently started using it as my primary OS. It’s packed with features that are genuinely useful, and it’s one of the few operating systems that can help make your home lab truly immutable. While you’re exploring options, check out these four Linux distros you should consider using instead of upgrading to Windows 11.

Apple should unveil the iPhone 17 series in September, and there might be one bigger difference between the Pro and Pro Max models this year.

As always, the Pro Max model will be larger than the Pro model:

• iPhone 17 Pro: 6.3-inch display
• iPhone 17 Pro Max: 6.9-inch display

Given the Pro Max is physically larger than the Pro, it has more internal space, allowing for a larger battery and longer battery life. Nothing new.

It has been rumored that the Pro Max model will go one step further this year, though.

In March, it was rumored that the iPhone 17 Pro Max will be approximately 5% thicker than the iPhone 16 Pro Max, likely in order to accommodate a larger battery. This would result in the iPhone 17 Pro Max having even longer battery life compared to the iPhone 17 Pro, which is not expected to be any thicker than the iPhone 16 Pro.

It was recently rumored that the iPhone 17 Pro Max’s battery capacity will reach the 5,000 mAh mark, up from 4,676 mAh for the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

The thickness rumor originated from Ice Universe, an account with more than 1.5 million followers on Chinese social media platform Weibo. The account has previously shared accurate information about future Apple products.

In some years, the Pro Max gets some camera features before the Pro, but that is not expected to be the case this year. Both the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are rumored to be equipped with a trio of 48-megapixel rear cameras, along with an upgraded 24-megapixel front camera. No camera differences have been rumored yet.

It was initially rumored that the iPhone 17 Pro Max might have a smaller Dynamic Island compared to the iPhone 17 Pro and earlier models, but it was later reported that such a change might not be happening until next year. Even if it does happen this year, one source said the smaller Dynamic Island would be on all iPhone 17 models.

All in all, the iPhone 17 Pro Max might be pretty similar to the iPhone 17 Pro, beyond its larger screen and even bigger lead in battery life.

An iPad can help with success in many areas like school, professional work, content creation, and way more. Plus, with Prime Day just days away, there’s no better time to scoop up savings on one of Apple’s most popular devices. 

Also: Your iPad is getting 4 big upgrades for free. Here are the top features in iPadOS 26

Now, you can get the 11th Gen iPad for $299 (save $50). The tablet normally retails for $350, so a great sale this soon in the launch schedule is good news for early adopters on a tight budget. Plus, this iPad is our pick for the best iPad of 2025 and is a great gift for the upcoming new school year. Every color is on sale at Amazon. 

This year, iPads were upgraded in several ways, helping them become more capable devices. For one, the tablet is equipped with an A16 chip for better processing and the ability to edit 4K videos or use live text in photos or videos. It also boosts battery life, preventing you from worrying about charging it too often. Keep in mind that this iPad does not support Apple Intelligence.

The screen is an 11-inch Liquid Retina display, so the graphics quality is top tier for streaming your favorite content like YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, or whatever your heart desires. It also comes equipped with True Tone, which helps adjust the screen’s brightness to a comfortable level depending on the light temperature of your room. 

Also: I skipped the pricey iPad Pro for the $299 base model and have no regrets. Here’s why

ZDNET expert Maria Diaz tested out the iPad, and appreciated its hardware upgrades, but noted it may not be the best tablet for every audience. 

“If you’re looking for a tablet to do light work on the go, edit some short videos, stream content, or play games, the iPad base model won’t disappoint. Suppose you’re more of a power user and intend to use heavier apps like Final Cut Pro for iPad, for example, to edit longer videos. In that case, I’d recommend a higher-end model,” she said.

If you do not like Face ID integrated with your device, this iPad may be great for you, as it only offers Touch ID. This way, you still have a biometric barrier between your data and the outside world.

The 11th Gen iPad is also equipped with Wi-Fi 6, which delivers a more powerful connection than ever. This iPad could be an excellent fit for small businesses, artists, professionals, or students.

This iPad, released just a few months back, is a great tablet for anyone wanting to get their hands on the latest tech. That’s why I gave this offer a 4/5 Editor’s deal rating. Plus, it’s the best price we’ve seen yet for this model. Buying a new iPad at this price is a great deal, and this device is great for many users. 

The Yotei Mask isn’t just an Easter egg; it’s a full-on wearable tribute that fans of both Ghost of Tsushima and Death Stranding will love. Hidden deep in the narrative layers of DS2: On the Beach, this sleek collectible doesn’t come easy. But if you’re the kind who rescues, delivers, and never backs down, here’s how to get your hands on it.

When Can You Unlock the Yotei Mask in Death Stranding 2?

You’ll need to be well into the main storyline—specifically around Episode 8—before the Yotei Mask becomes obtainable. Don’t go searching in the early chapters. It simply won’t show up. Focus on progressing the story and keep an eye out for a prepper named The Adventurer—he’s the key to this unlock.

Step-by-Step Guide to Getting the Yotei Mask in Death Stranding 2

Follow these steps if you want to unlock the Yotei mask in Death Stranding 2: On the Beach:

Step 1: Reach Episode 8

By now, you’ve made it through the Australian terrain and unlocked a bunch of characters. Around this point, you’ll get Order 36, which sends you into the mountains with a meteorite delivery.

Step 2: Meet the Adventurer’s Son

When you deliver the meteorite to The Adventurer’s shelter, you’ll find only his son there. Surprise: dad’s missing again. You’ll now get Order 37, tasking you with yet another tough rescue mission.

Step 3: Complete Order 37

This mountain rescue is no joke—expect extreme weather, hostile terrain, and some solid BT action. But once you complete it, you’re on track. The Adventurer is grateful, and the wheels are now in motion.

Step 4: Wait for the SSS Notification

Once Order 37 is complete and you enter Episode 9, you’ll receive a message via the SSS (Shared Service System). The Adventurer sends you a cryptic note with an image of a masked figure and says he wants to reward you.

Step 5: Bring Him Any Cargo

Yep, literally any cargo. Doesn’t matter if it’s a lost package or a side order—just bring it to The Adventurer’s shelter. Once you do, he’ll reward you with the Yotei Mask.While there’s no official timer, many players believe delaying the delivery might reset the interaction or cause the Adventurer to leave. Best advice? Once you get the SSS message, grab any cargo and deliver it immediately.

How to Equip the Yotei Mask in Death Stranding 2?

Hold Left on the D-Pad, go to the Face Equipment section (same place as sunglasses or harmonica), and scroll until you find the Yotei Mask. Equip it and flex your connection to Sucker Punch’s samurai legacy.The Yotei Mask is more than just flair—it’s a nod to Sony’s interconnected universe and a reward for the most dedicated porters. Stay sharp, keep delivering, and wear that mask with pride.
