Lamborghini Unveils Egoista Concept
Lamborghini's 50th anniversary celebrations have concluded with the unveiling of a wild concept car, the Lamborghini Egoista. The
Egoista was dramatically revealed by brand boss Stephan Winkelmann at a
dinner held to mark the end of the week-long drive by 350 Lamborghinis
through Italy, organised in celebration of the marque's 50th birthday. Lamborghini
has confirmed that the Walter De Silva designed car takes its name from
the fact that it has just one seat. The styling is said to be inspired
by that of an Apache helicopter, and early reports suggest the
lightweight car is extensively made of carbonfibre and that the cockpit
canopy can be removed to save weight. Power comes from a 5.2-litre V10
engine. De Silva is quoted as saying : "This is a car made for a
single person, to have fun and to express their own personality. It is
designed for people who want the most extreme and most special things in
the world. This car represents extremes of hedonism; it is a car
without compromise. In a word, it is selfish." Few details of the
Egoista concept are currently available, with Lamborghini having
released little information and just a single official picture. (autocar)
