Why the Lamborghini Egoista Supercar Costs a Crazy $117 Million

Supercars are a luxury that only those with serious money can buy, but Lamborghini's Egoista is on another level of expensiveness.
For many people, luxury car prices are typically priced in the $40k to $100k range, with those who need to spend more money opting for even more expensive options in the $150k to $1m range, such as Tesla, McLaren and Aston Martin.
Lamborghini, however, has risen to the top in terms of costly vehicle - the company's Egoista supercar costs a heartbreaking $117 million, and here's why.
Luxury supercar Lamborghini Egoista
The single-seater, designed by Walter De Silva, is modeled after a fighter plane rather than a vehicle, and literally has a cockpit that the driver has to get out of rather than using a standard door much like a Formula One car.
Before exiting, the steering wheel must be raised and the safety dome opened using the electric panel, but that's not all - the rider must then use a specific series of movements to actually get out of it.
According to YouTube channel TheRichest, the supercar is made of anti-radar material, very similar to fighter jets, and its body contains aerodynamic panels that change height depending on downforce and stability.

The exterior is also modeled to look Lambo-esque when viewed from the side, giving its 5,2-horsepower 10-liter V600 engine new meaning when it comes to speed.
It was originally made as a tribute to the 50th anniversary of the House of the Raging Bull in 2013, and was proudly presented to 1000 spectators at the event's gala dinner.
The car ran for one year before returning to Sant'Agata Bolognese in northern Italy, where it was permanently displayed at the Lamborghini Museum at the company's headquarters.
Selfish literally means "selfish" in several European languages, which is a clear reference to the supercar's outrageous price tag.
De Silva even claims that its name represents "hedonism taken to the extreme" - something that rings true for those willing to spend $117 million on themselves.
