Unless you happen to live in one of the great supercar capitals of the
world, seeing a Lamborghini up close is a rare treat.

The Lamborghini Egoista: Now on Permanent Display at Lamborghini
Museum
Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy, 16 May 2014 - The prestigious collection
in the Lamborghini Museum is now the home of another automotive gem -
the Lamborghini Egoista, the supercar developed by Walter De Silva,
Head of Volkswagen Group Design, as a tribute to the House of The
Raging Bull's 50th anniversary, which was celebrated last year.
This futuristic single-seater is the only one of its kind in the
world. Powered by a 5.2-liter V10 engine that churns out 600
horsepower, it takes the attributes that are in the DNA of every
Lamborghini to the next, extreme level. The look is sharply
distinguished by a muscular structure with alternating open and solid
areas, and the profile suggests the stylized silhouette of a bull
about to charge - the iconic hallmark of the Lamborghini logo. The
car's aeronautical flair can clearly be seen in the headlight system,
The aeronautical inspiration is also evident in the body made of
lightweight materials (carbon fiber and aluminum) with stealth
capabilities, in the anti-glare windows with an orange hue, in the
cockpit conceived as a removable appendage which allows the driver to
be insulated and protected from external elements, and in the head-up
display. Because of this latter feature, in order to leave the
vehicle, the driver must remove the steering wheel and leave it on the
dashboard, open the dome by actuating an electronic control and climb
out of the cockpit with a specific series of movements, as required in
fighter jet aircrafts.
Described by Walter De Silva as the embodiment of pure emotion and
extreme hedonism, the Egoista was unveiled on May 11, 2013 before an
audience of more than one thousand invited guests at the Gala Dinner
that brought the 50th Anniversary Grand Tour to a close.
Exactly one year after it was introduced, the Lamborghini Egoista has
returned to its home in Sant'Agata Bolognese. It will now be
permanently displayed at Lamborghini headquarters - at first in the
showroom, and then in the Museum.
