Lamborghini Egoista Concept: because two’s a crowd

Lamborghini_Egoista_Concept_11

You’re looking at the Lamborghini Egoista Concept, the final of three models (joining the Veneno and Aventador Anniversario) designed to pay homage to the brand’s 50th anniversary. It’s a personal pet project of Walter De Silva, Head of Design for the Volkswagen Group, and it’s a bit of a selfish car. There’s just enough room in it to fit one man’s ego, and the name itself is Spanish for selfish.

Power comes courtesy of the Gallardo’s 5.2 litre V10 but with 600 hp, tuned for 30 hp more than in the donor model’s most extreme form. In profile it’s made to look like a bull preparing to charge with its horns lowered, conferring a futuristic dynamism with aggressive lines. De Silva explained the design further: “It represents hedonism taken to the extreme, it is a car without compromises, in a word: egoista (selfish).”

It features a single seat cockpit to push the limits on driving pleasure, performance and most of important of all, style. A survival cell of sorts, the carbonfibre and aluminium interior could well be mistaken for a jet fighter’s, and a really cool one at that. The glasshouse tips forward like it would in an F-35, and forms an aerodynamic element when closed.

If Lamborghinis are cars for the few, this one goes that one step further. It is a car for one, and no more. There are no plans yet to push the Egoista into production, but knowing Lamborghini, they’ll make one for you if you ask kindly enough, just as they did with the Sesto Elemento concept in 2011.

  • I belong to the group that dislike the Veneno, now I have another Lamborghini to add into my ‘design dislike’ list, sorry hardcore Lambo fans. As with the Veneno ,people says that it harks back to great Lambo Countach by being mad and crazy, yes! But the Countach did it with flair, its a Tony Stark, he’s crazy, he’s mad, but he gets away with it because it does it with style. The Veneno is about as sexy as a heavy Metal Rock band, this is about as sexy as the Aliens from the popular Ridley Scott’s franchise. It’s crazy, but You wouldnt go near it.Its just not a Lamborghini, there’s almost nothing Italian about it, and that’s just why I can’t like it.

  • But you cant put a young, hot model chick together with you in it. Isn’t that the whole point of driving a Lambo?

    Driving this type of Lambo is just for fun or motor sports purpose only. We Malaysian will not buy, even so we will have consider those road condition, it will scratch the bottom surface.
