A lot of cars have turned 50 recently, the Porsche 911, the iconic Jaguar E-Type, but if you really want something to celebrate Lamborghini's 50th anniversary is the party of the half century. Thousands of Lambo owners have gathered all around the world, and to thank them the Sant'Agata Bolognese factories have produced one most incredible symbol of performance and… well money, really.
It's called the "Egoista", a selfish man's supercar with a single plus leather seat in the middle of the car. The design belongs to Walter de Silva, which is amazing when you consider the guy draws boring family cars a lot of the time.

While the Aventador look a little bit like a stealth fighter, Egoista draws its inspiration from a stealth helicopter called the called the Comanche (Lamborghini says Apache, but we think they got the name wrong). It's an "intentionally extreme and unusual vehicle with absolutely unique characteristics".

So what are the chances of this radical design ever reaching production? Slim to none we'd say, but the fact that this is powered by a 5.2-liter V10 engine delivering exactly 600 horsepower means it could preview the Gallardo replacement.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
