Lamborghini Egoista
|
The Lamborghini Egoista is a limited production sports car unveiled by Lamborghini. It was built to celebrate the company's 50th anniversary. Only one Egoista will be made, and it is a fully-functioning model based off of the Gallardo. It features a 5.2 L (317 cu in) V10 engine producing 600 hp (447 kW; 608 PS).
It has a unique canopy door and the cockpit, which is modeled after a modern fighter jet and completely removable, has only one seat for the driver.
The unique exterior of the Egoista is meant to resemble a bull ready to charge if looked at from the side. The lighting resembles that of a modern airplane, with sidemarkers and indicators on the sides and top of the car as well as front and rear. The bodywork consists of active aerodynamic panels that raise and lower for optimum downforce and stability. The body and wheels are made of antiradar material to even more identify with jet fighters.
In Italian, Egoista literally means "selfish." According to the model's designer Walter de Silva, the Egoista "represents hedonism taken to the extreme."
