Some cars become legends even before they're on the road. The Lamborghini Egoista is one of them. Introduced in 2013 to celebrate the brand's 50th anniversary, this concept car with the evocative name "Egoista" was never meant to leave the museum. Lamborghini of Sant'Agata Bolognese. However, in January 2025, against all odds, the brand accepted an offer from a mysterious collector. Transaction price: 117 million dollars, or around 100 million euros. An absolute record for a Lamborghini... and one of the most expensive cars in history.
A UFO on wheels
It's hard to remain indifferent to the Egoista. With its single-seat cockpit inspired by fighter jets, bodywork in anti-radar materials and active aerodynamic panels, it looks more like a military prototype than an Italian supercar.
Beneath this futuristic appearance lies a Gallardo chassis and a 5.2-liter V10 engine developing 600 hp. To get in or out of the car, you had to remove the steering wheel, just like in Formula 1. Designer Walter De Silva summed up the spirit of the car in one sentence: "The Egoista represents hedonism taken to the extreme".
The sale of the century?
Originally, Lamborghini had no intention of selling this unique piece. But as is often the case in the world of hypercars, an offer deemed "impossible to refuse" changed all that. In January 2025, several specialist media confirmed that the Egoista had left the museum to join the private collection of an anonymous buyer. Since then, there has been no trace of it. The most extravagant and expensive car ever sold by Lamborghini has literally vanished into thin air, adding to its aura of mystery.
Missing from the radar
In September 2025, nine months after the sale was announced, no images of the Egoista have surfaced. Neither at private events, nor on social networks where shots of ultra-exclusive supercars usually abound. So much so, in fact, that some still have doubts about the transaction, pointing to a possible arrangement between Lamborghini and a VIP customer.
Faced with this silence, some illustrators had fun imagining what the Egoista would look like in the middle of the street, like a furtive appearance at the bend of an urban crossroads. These virtual creations are a reminder of the extent to which this concept car, conceived as a "gift from Lamborghini to Lamborghini", continues to fascinate more than ten years after its unveiling.
The Lamborghini Egoista has always lived up to its name: designed for a single occupant, destined to remain in the shadows of a museum, then flown off to an inaccessible private collection... It has become the quintessential automotive dream reserved for the few. A 100 million euro dream, now out of reach, which we no longer know whether to admire like a work of art... or search for like a lost treasure.
