By golly I need me one of these babies. I wonder if Mystery would be interested in starting a fund on here so I could purchase one.
Italian sports-car maker Automobili Lamborghini SpA unveiled a new vehicle called the Egoista, which is meant to mark its 50th anniversary.
The car, which seats one and has the look of a space ship (or a 17-year cicada), is powered by a 5.2-liter V-10 engine that puts out 600 horsepower. The company described its interior as a “cockpit, designed like a tailor-made suit for the driver.”
The driver’s compartment is built separately from the rest of the car to act as a “survival cell,” inspired by the design of the Apache attack helicopter, the company said.

Egoista is about the most fitting name I could imagine for such a vehicle.
