The Lamborghini Egoista concept seats only one person: the driver.

Lamborghini decided to celebrate its 50^th anniversary by unveiling a new concept car, dubbed the Egoista, which even Volkswagen Group’s top designers describes as “extreme.”

However, unlike some concepts its shown in the past, this one won’t be hitting the pavement as it doesn’t meet many safety requirements, such as 5 mph bumpers.

“It is designed purely for hyper-sophisticated people who want only the most extreme and special things in the world. It represents hedonism taken to the extreme, it is a car without compromises, in a word: egoista (selfish),” explained Walter De Silva, head of design for the Volkswagen Group.

Lamborghini marked its 50th anniversary by creating the Egoista concept car.

The Egoista contains, in De Silva’s opinion, all the product criteria, which are part of Lamborghini’s make-up.

“It’s as if Ferruccio Lamborghini were saying: I’m going to put the engine in the back, I don’t want a passenger. I want it for myself, and I want it as I imagine it to be. It is a fanatical vehicle, Egoista fits it well,” he said during a celebration of Lamborghini’s 50th anniversary.

“I am very attached to this Italian brand, being an Italian myself. I wanted to pay homage to and think up a vehicle to underline the fact that Lamborghinis have always been made with passion, and with the heart more than the head.”

Indeed the Egoista, as the vehicle has been christened, is a car forged from a passion for innovation and alternative solutions, the same passion, which has always set the Lamborghini brand apart.

“This is a car made for one person only, to allow them to have fun and express their personality to the maximum,” De Silva further explained.

The supercar’s debut was equally spectacular, with a cinematic entry announced by a trailer projected onto the nine big screens in the room.

The stage was transformed into a landing strip, with a top model in a flight suit guiding the Egoista’s arrival with ground crew light paddles, and the roar of the V10 engine shaking the 20-meter-tall tensioned event structure: this is the spectacle the VIP guests were treated to when Lamborghini President and CEO Stephan Winkelmann entered at the wheel of the Egoista, before inviting its creator, De Silva, to join him on stage.

Powered by a 5.2-liter V10 engine supplying it with 600 horsepower, the Lamborghini Egoista pushes characteristics in Lamborghini’s make up, including driving pleasure, performance and style beyond their limits.

The cockpit, designed like a tailor-made suit for the driver, is a removable section, once combined with the rest of the vehicle, creates a perfect technical, mechanical and aerodynamic unit. Inspiration, as per Lamborghini tradition, once again comes from the world of aviation, and in particular the Apache helicopter, where the cockpit can be ejected in an emergency.

“The cockpit, made completely of carbon fiber and aluminum, represents a sort of survival cell, allowing the driver to isolate and protect themselves from external elements,” De Silva explained. “We kept an eye on the future when designing the Egoista, with the idea that its cockpit could have been taken from a jet aircraft and integrated into a road vehicle, to provide a different travel option.”

The overall design, created by the Volkswagen Group design team, is an intentionally extreme vehicle with unique characteristics, according to De Silva’s team, who described the vehicle as aggressive, dynamic and futuristic.

The upper part of the vehicle does not have aerodynamic appendages, but rather flaps integrated in the bodywork profile, which act automatically depending on the driving conditions. Two rear flaps activate automatically at high speeds to increase stability, while a series of air intakes on the back of the engine hood provides the cooling airflow to the powerful V10 power plant.

While the front of the vehicle has a profile intended to increase down force, the rear is fully open with the mechanics in view, reducing weight but also with the result of creating a more aggressive look.

The Lamborghini Egoista’s lights are more like an aircraft’s than a road car’s. It does not have traditional headlights, rather LED clearance lights which determine its position not just on a single plane such as the road, but rather in three dimensions, as is required in airspace.

The interior is extremely rational, its functionality taken to the extreme, De Silva said. There is a racing seat with a four-point seatbelt, a head-up display and a removable steering wheel. The dome opens with an electronic command, stand up in their seat, sit down on a precise point of the left-hand bodywork.
