The one of a kind Lamborghini Egoista has found a permanent parking spot.
This futuristic single-seater -- developed by VW Group design boss Walter De Silva as a tribute to Lambo’s 50th anniversary – will be kept in the Lamborghini Museum in Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy.
The Egoista is the only one of its kind in the world. Powered by a 5.2-liter V10 engine that churns out 450kW (600 horsepower), it takes the attributes that are in the DNA of every Lamborghini to the next, extreme level.
Described by De Silva as the embodiment of pure emotion and extreme hedonism, the Egoista was unveiled on May 11, 2013 before an audience of more than 1000 guests at a Gala Dinner that brought the 50th Anniversary Grand Tour to a close.
The look is accentuated by a muscular structure with alternating open and solid areas and a profile that suggests the stylised silhouette of a bull about to charge - the iconic hallmark of the Lamborghini logo. The car's aeronautical flair can clearly be seen in the headlight system, lightweight body made of aluminium and carbon fibre and the anti-glare windows with an orange hue.
The driver is insulated and protected from external elements in the cockpit, with head-up instrument display. To get out of the car, the driver must remove the steering wheel and place it on the dashboard. The dome opens electronically and a specific series of movements are required to get out – like a jet fighter.
