The Lamborghini Egoista was a one-off concept that Lamborghini initially wanted to keep for itself.
The idea was to store it in a museum and not sell it, hence the name Egoista, which is Italian for selfish.
However, many years later, Lamborghini received the proverbial offer you cannot say ‘no’ to.
And you’ll understand why after learning the price.
The Lamborghini Egoista was built for fun
Lamborghini, like most supercar makers, is always launching one-offs and limited-edition supercars.
The Countach LPI 800-4, the Ultimae, the Terzo Millennio – it’s a long list.
Most concept cars are designed to inspire or tease the arrival of a production model.
But the Egoista was different.
According to its designer, the Lamborghini Egoista is a concept car that ‘represents hedonism’ taken to the extreme.
The ‘selfish’ single-seat setup also means that, to get in and out of the car, the driver needs to remove the steering wheel – like you do in a Formula One car.
Inside, the fighter jet theme continues with a head-up display and jet-like buttons and switches.
Mechanically, the Egoista is mostly based on the Gallardo, and it uses the same 5.2-liter V10, tuned to develop 600 horsepower.
Even the chassis, the suspension and most of its internal components, believe it or not, come from a Gallardo.
They weren’t going to sell it, but you can’t say no to 9 figures
Last year, Lamborghini reportedly sold the car to un unnamed collector.
This means that the Egoista has now joined the Invencible, another one-off concept car that sold for an undisclosed sum, and the Miura SV that was mysteriously pulled from an auction years ago, just hours before the deadline.
No reason was given but, much later, we discovered that it was because Lamborghini had stepped in and asked to buy it back for a VIP customer.
Private sales aren’t unheard of as automakers often sell extremely rare cars directly to customers.
That’s what happened with the world’s most expensive car, the Mercedes 300 SLR.
And that’s what happened with the Egoista.
The rumored price is crazy: $117 million.
No one, apparently not even Lambo, can say no to that.
