The Lamborghini Egoista is a limited production sports car unveiled by Lamborghini. It was built to celebrate the company's 50th anniversary. Only one Egoista will be made, and it is a fully functioning model based on the Gallardo. It features a 5.2 L (317 cu in) V10 engine producing 600 hp (447 kW; 608 PS).
It has a unique canopy door and the cockpit, which is modeled after a modern fighter jet and completely removable, has only one seat for the driver.
The unique exterior of the Egoista is meant to resemble a bull ready to charge if looked at from the side. The lighting resembles that of a modern airplane, with sidemarkers and indicators on the sides and top of the car as well as front and rear. The bodywork consists of active aerodynamic panels that raise and lower for optimum downforce and stability. The body and wheels are made of antiradar material to even more identify with jet fighters.
In Italian, Egoista literally means "selfish." According to the model's designer Walter de Silva, the Egoista "represents hedonism taken to the extreme." ( Wikipedia )

I'm wondering who'll they'll sell it to, how much for, and how ridiculous the bids would get if he/she ever decided to move it on?

Maybe they'll just keep it as a museum piece?

LAMBORGHINI EGOISTA -- WALTER DE SILVA'S HOMAGE FOR LAMBORGHINI'S 50TH ANNIVERSARY





The Lamborghini Egoiste truly lives up to its name. A single-passenger supercar that the company says "represents hedonism taken to the extreme." Egoista was inspired by the Apache attack helicopter, with a cockpit-style cabin that's entered through a flip up and removable canopy.To get into the seat, the driver must remove the formula race car-type pistol-grip steering wheel, and strap into a four-point safety harness. A fighter plane-style heads up display screen is the centerpoint of the aluminum and carbon fiber constructed interior.The Egoiste is powered by a 592 hp V10 and features movable flaps to control the air flowing over and under the car. An anti-radar coating and anti-glare orange-tinted glass aim to make it one of the stealthiest cars on the road.

Sorry Scotty mate but Egoista is a one - off car and fitting of its name, Lamborgini is only making one Egoiste and is keeping it all to itself. :(
