An emotional moment in Sant'Agata Bolognese on the outcome of yesterday's gala celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Lamborghini : Enter Walter De Silva incredible vehicle in front of thousands of invited guests , the chief designer of the Volkswagen Group tribute to celebrate the house Raging Bull half a century. "I am very attached to the Italian brand , Italian to myself to be . I wanted to pay homage and be thought a vehicle to highlight the fact that Lamborghinis have always been a passion , and the heart more than the head " said the emotional De Silva . In fact, the Egoista when the vehicle is baptized , Car of passion for innovation and alternative solutions forged , the same passion , always set the Lamborghini brand apart. "This car is made for a person , that they give the opportunity to have fun with their personality and expression of the maximum. Designed for a hyper - ambitious people who just want . Most extreme objects and Sonderschauenin the world take hedonism on the top, it is a car without compromise , in a word : egoista ( selfish ) , " De Silva explained.The super sports car was the beginning of a great show, with entries announced film trailer projected on the big screen in room nine . Meter - The stage was in a runway, a top model flight suit coming lodestar paddle Egoista the ground crew and the roar of the V10 engine of the structure shaking event stretched 20 converted high : the shows this VIP guests were treated when the Lamborghini President and CEO Stephan Winkelmann at the wheel Egoista , before inviting a creator of Walter Silva to him on stage.
Concept and TechnologyPowered by a V10 engine 5.2 - liter , 600 hp with it , deliver the car Lamborghini Egoista deliberately extreme and unusual with a truly unique character , created by the Volkswagen Group design team - Alessandro Dambrosio for Foreign Affairs and Stefan Sielaff responsible for the interior side , especially . Silva decided to create a team of no seats pushed all the characteristics that Lamborghini is also pure driving pleasure , performance and style beyond its borders . The cockpit , like a suit designed to combine the driver , removable section , even fit with the rest of the vehicle creates a technical unit , perfect mechanical and aerodynamic. Inspiration , according to Lamborghini tradition , which in turn comes from the world of aviation , particularly the Apache helicopter , where the cockpit can be ejected in an emergency." The cockpit , made entirely of carbon fiber and aluminum is a kind of cell survival , allowing the driver to isolate and protect themselves from external factors ," said De Silva . "We always have an eye on the future when the Egoista design, with the idea that a cockpit, in a road vehicle for other travel option might Integrated built by jet aircraft and will . "
The designThe architecture and the materials used : The outside is made of two basic elements. The design is determined by the muscle structure , empty fields and a solid fit , together with power and energy. The main body , to load at his side , the stylized profile of a bull preparation, reduces its horns. The bull run on the front wheels , which dynamics and existing lines , in itself, very aggressive futuristic. Of course, this is a tribute , citation may be difficult, but revision of the Lamborghini brand icon , the raging bull - well recognized . The challenge was to effectively put together in the Lamborghini symbol as an integral part of the body and artistically bold . The profile shows trimaran plan , where does the central fuselage section specific cockpit, underlined the carbon cover on the front cover.If the upper part of the vehicle aerodynamic appendages , but flaps integrated into the body profile that acts automatically depending on driving conditions . Two back flap automatically at high speeds to enable to increase the stability , while a number of powerful rear air intakes on the hood of Motorkühlluftstromder V10 power plant. While the profile is to increase the output of the front end , the rear of the mechanism is completely open in the light , weight reduction, but also on the look result create more aggressive. Lamborghini Egoista lights are like airplanes as a road vehicle . It does not have the conventional headlights, LED marker lights to determine a position where not only necessary in a plane , such as the street, but in three dimensions, as in the airspace . Two white front lights , two red tail lights , flashing red light in the upper part of the tail, orange eyes a bull as side indicators, and two additional lights on the roof, red on the left and green right on the page , so this is a UFO four - unique wheels , even in the dark. Finally, hidden behind the front air intakes in the lower part of the body between the central portion and two sides , two powerful Xenon headlights, two eagle eyes to scan the darkness for long distances. Since it made of lightweight materials like aluminum and carbon - fiber , the vehicle has no seat belts - step marked as commercial aircraft properly. The parallels with the world of aviation end but because the body is made of unique material here anti radar, and the glass is anti - glare with orange gradation . The rims also anti-radar materials , flat and rough, with a carbon fiber - panels to improve aerodynamics decorated .
InteriorThe cockpit interior is very reasonable, driven functionality on the top. Racing seats with four -point harness , each a different color strips , air bags, and the bare minimum of instruments. The focus of the display head - on , typical of fighter jets. To get out of the vehicle , the driver must use the steering wheel and the rest of the instrument panel , open the safe with an electronic order form , standing on their seats , sit down at a certain point on the body to the left , then the legs swivel 180 degrees in the cockpit of the vehicle outside. At this point you can set and get their feet. Also to get out of the vehicle requires Lamborghini Egoista pilot more than one driver , a real Top Gun .
The philosophyThe Egoista is , in the opinion of Walter De Silva, the criteria contained in the product make - up Lamborghini. "It is as if Ferruccio Lamborghini said : I'm going to put the engine in the back, I do not know that a passenger I Would myself and I want when I imagine it , it is to be .. car fanatic , Egoista fits it well. "When Lamborghinis cars for a few , the other goes . It's a car for yourself, a gift from Lamborghini Lamborghini, which , radiant in his loneliness . Egoista is pure emotion , Never Never Land , everyone can always and will always be a dream for all .
