If you happen to be the kind of person who would prefer to get around in your own personal jet, hovercraft, or blimp, then perhaps you should take a look at the new Lamborghini Egoista Concept. This has to be one of the most edgy and futuristic looking Lamborghini concept cars to date. Taking design cues from the Apache helicopter, the Egoista is a one-seater that could change the way we think about supercars altogether.
The Egoista was unveiled a few weeks ago at a 50th anniversary party that Lamborghini threw for itself. The car rolled out onto the stage like a plane onto a runway. With as much power as this concept has inside it might as well be.
The Lamborghini Egoista is built with a 5.2-liter V-10 engine. It is capable of delivering 600 horsepower and since it only accommodates one person inside, the entire design is focused on providing that luck pilot with the ultimate driving experience.
Head of Design for Volkswagen, Walter De Silva, commented on the driver-centric design, saying, "The cockpit, made completely of carbon fiber and aluminum, represents a sort of survival cell, allowing the driver to isolate and protect themselves from external elements. We kept an eye on the future when designing the Egoista, with the idea that its cockpit could have been take from a jet aircraft and integrated into a road vehicle, to provide a different travel option."1
De Silva went on to describe the Egoista as the most hedonistic thing the company has produced in the past 50 years. We are certainly intrigued by the Egoista and we hope that some of these breath-taking design elements will trickle down to the production line of new Lamborghini models.
