That should be the response mentally or verbally when any human being sets their eyes upon a Lamborghini. In reality, that's largely the case, so the Hot Wheels replicas (of which there are many) should evoke a similar reaction. Again, that's true most of the time; HW's brilliant Lamborghini castings outweigh vastly those that disappoint.
So, when Lamborghini put into production 20 examples of its carbon fibre masterpiece that resembles a technologically advanced, futuristic Gallardo (what they started with), it wasn't long before a HW replica debuted in the very first batch of the 2014 Mainline.
As the real car had only been seen in trademark carbon fibre grey with red accents, this was what everyone expected the First Edition to resemble. Hot Wheels thought otherwise. Instead, to the annoyance of some and surprised appreciation of many, the Sesto Elemento debuted in matte white with lime accents. To me, that version of the model is brilliant, and all four versions so far have been very good; very Lamborghini. The casting's second outing was the car's trademark guise, perhaps to keep the haters at bay (I doubt it though, releasing the Sesto in that colour was an inevitability) and then it returned in lime green with J5 wheels for 2015, and now in a lovely teal blue for 2016. It is part of a rare group of castings - those that sit happily on TRAP5 wheels without being a disappointment - and has done so 3 times out of 4.
To summarise, Hot Wheels' latest Lamborghini Sesto Elemento is a brilliant addition to a formidable, growing family of colour, excitement and drama. Just as a Lamborghini should be.
