With no warning at all here it is, the unexpected Lamborghini Egoista. Revealed by Lamborghini's President and CEO Stephen Winkelmann at the Swedish Super Car event a few days ago. We quickly learned that the Egoista stood for "Selfish" in which Lamborghini describes this car as the ultimate machine for selfish super car lovers. Why? you may ask, well its simple the Egoista only has one seat and to enter the vehicle you must first remove the steering wheel, climb inside and re insert the steering wheel. Not that being a super car owner makes you selfish but this car was specifically made for the driver and the driver only, so if you plan on taking out a hot date this is not the car for you.
The Egoista's heart is powered by a 5.2 liter V10 engine and the car itself was inspired by the Apache Helicopter. The Egoista was designed by the head of the Volkswagen Group Walter De Silva who specifically designed the exterior and interior based on the Apache. So to no surprise the interior itself resembles that of a jet fighter. The heads up display is right above the removable steering wheel. The entire frame of the Egoista is made of Carbon Fiber and the cockpit is covered by an orange anti-glare glass that is made of anti-radar material. De Silva also says the cockpit is completely made of Carbon Fiber and Aluminum, with the thought of a survival cell in mind that allowed the driver to protect themselves at all times against debris from the outside.
Walter De Silva says himself that he did in fact design the car to look as if it were a bull preparing to charge at you with its horns down. The car has two white front lights, two red rear tail lights, a red flashing light in the upper part of the tail and two orange bull like eyes as side markers and if that's not enough lights there are two more on the roof that will for sure let you know this thing is on the road at night.
As for the 5.2 liter V10, this engine has been used in numerous Lamborghini models however, Lamborghini has not yet released the specs on the engine but they are said to be over 600 plus horsepower. The Engine sits in the rear of the Egoista. What De Silva would refer to as "the tail of the bull".
If you plan to add one of these to your garage think again because De Silva says that no one will ever drive this car...
