The Lamborghini Egoista Concept has been revealed at a gala dinner held to celebrate the end of the Lamborghini 50th Anniversary drive in Italy.

The Lamborghini Egoista (which translate as the Lamborghini ‘Selfish’) gets its name because it is designed as a single seater, purely for the pleasure of the driver.
Designed by Walter De Silva, the Egoista sports dramatic styling that is said to be inspired by the Apache helicopter (and isn’t entirely successful – the Apache looks better) and extensively uses carbon fibre with a canopy that can be removed for real single-seat fresh air thrills.
Power comes from the Gallardo’s 5.2 litre V10, although so far all Lamborghini has done is release a single photo of the Egoista (above), so we don’t yet know whether the Egoista will be a one-off special like the Aventador J, a short run at silly prices like the Veneno or just a concept that will never see the light of day again.
We’d prefer the latter, but we’ll update when we get more from Lamborghini.

And now it looks even better, especially the view down form above. Stunning!!
Dave Price says
I think the Selfish looks great! Who wants Lamborghinis to be boring? They need to be completely mad in a world that gets duller every day, and who cares if it’s only those with more money than sense that buy them?! They brighten up a dull car world.

This Egoista has the same stupid nose as the equally awful Veneno. Please don’t tell me it previews Lamborghinis new design because if it does we’ll probably get it bolted on the front of the new Gallardo. Lamborghini have lost their way.
Percy says
This looks like another stupidly OTT effort from Lamborghini to milk old men with more money than taste. Whatever happened to beautiful Lambos?

Why are Lamborghinis getting so bloody ugly.
