15 Design Inspiration

If you loved the eccentricity of the Lamborghini Veneno, then surely you will also appreciate the Lamborghini Egoista. The brand's executives and design team built a car that will surely be iconic and will shine through all other sports cars. They took inspiration from an Apache helicopter and created the Egoista.

14 The Designer

This car is a product of the great mind of Volkswagen Group designs Chief Walter De Silva, and he really took the design into the extremes. Considering its thrilling design, it is sad to think that this amazing car will never make its way into production any time soon. But it is still a cool concept.

Doesn't the Lamborghini Egoista look like a jet fighter in these photos? Conventional headlights are replaced by LED clearance lights and side indicators, mimicking the angry eyes of a bull. This car dominates darkness with two more roof lights and its red rear light. Maserati and Ferrari will not attempt passing by this car.

11 Impressions On Its Design

Its design is tagged as chaotic and Lego-like. It is so unforgettable that it will give you nightmares. This uniquely styled car would make you wonder what the future holds for the Lamborghini design. Whatever is the reason behind its design, people will remain divided between liking or hating it.

10 Design Materials

The $2.5 million Egoista looks very sophisticated with the LED lighting and the orange-finished wheels. It is all wrapped in aluminum, carbon fiber, and radar-absorbent material. It looks more of an aircraft rather than a sports car. Its tinted windshield is made of an anti-glare glass, making it look even more advanced.

9 More Exterior Details

Its posterior is lifted with active flaps that are mounted above the massive rectangular exhaust exits, which are large enough to fit a dog or a cat. These flaps open and closes as the driving conditions change. The Egoista does look like a bull preparing to charge into anything blocking its way.

8 Look Closely

These pictures show a furious beast that seems to glare at you with evil intentions. But the longer you examine them, the better you see how much detail and effort are invested in this car. The large air intake behind its rear wheels is lit up with orange highlights inside.

7 Functional Interior

As expected, the interior of Egoista has high resolution and strong attention to detail. It is on a more functional approach compared to what it looks on the outside. The interior prioritizes the driver and focuses on vital elements to perform well. You will not see any unnecessary components that just take up space.

6 Race Car Interior

It feels perfectly like a race car inside the Lamborghini Egoista, with its head-up display and four-point harness. You would definitely feel like you are already speeding up even without turning the engine on. Airbags are included for further safety, even though this car is geared with a seat that will pin down the driver.

5 Interior Elements

Each strap on its four-point harness gets a different color. Its instrument panel is petite but it has everything that is needed. The heads up display feels like you are in a fighter-jet. The minimalist steering wheels fits perfectly in both hands.

4 How To Get In?

How to get inside if it does not have a door? Well, its domed roof flips open, letting the driver hop in and out. To get out, first, the driver has to stand on the seat, slide around and jump over.

3 Superb Engine And Its Performance

A 600 hp 5.2-liter V10 engine can be found in the middle. That is the same engine that boosts the Audi R8 and the famous Lamborghini Gallardo. The Lamborghini Egoista runs like the wind. It can hit an astounding 219 miles per hour as its maximum speed. It was expected to have a dual-clutch automated manual gearbox.

2 One Of A Kind

The chance of seeing this car on the public streets is extremely rare since there will be only one example ever made. It is so precious that Lamborghini put a restricted line around the car as it is displayed to prevent people from stepping on its carbon fibre skirts and splitter.

1 Selfish Car

Its name literally means "Selfish", interpreting how selfish its production is by putting one seat and making a sole model. It sure is a car for itself. This Lamborghini does not have a passenger seat; instead, the back is intended for the engine. Its interior main color is orange, with grey and black accents everywhere.
