Is the one-off Lamborghini Egoista the next Batmobile? It better be…

Lamborghini is in the midst of celebrating its 50th anniversary. Earlier this week, it organized a drive across Italy consisting of 350 Lamborghinis. At the end of the drive, Lamborghini hosted a dinner at which it unveiled this: the Egoista, the Italian supercar brand’s latest concept.

Lamborghini President and CEO, Stephan Winkelmann, revealed the one-off Egoista to an unsuspecting crowd. We’re sure it’s no accident that both the word “ego” and the suffix “ista” are found in the one-off hypercar’s name.

What’s under the hood of the striking Batmobile-like Egoista? A 5.2-liter V10 producing 600 horsepower. While we’ve not heard it, we’re sure it sounds like pure motoring sex.

The single-seater cockpit was “designed like a tailor-made suit for the driver, is a removable section which, once combined with the rest of the vehicle, creates a perfect technical, mechanical and aerodynamic unit,” Lamborghini’s press site reveals.

The design, Lamborghini’s designers say, was intended to be highly muscular. We don’t necessarily agree as the beak makes us think more venomous demon and less sinewy muscle-bound maven.

This is the second time this year that Lamborghini has surprised the motoring world with a concept car. The first was the Veneno, of which only three examples were made. Based upon the Aventador, the Veneno produced 740 horsepower and topped out at 221 mph. Lamborghini recently put the three Venenos up for sale, each sold for nearly $3-million.

We wonder if Lambo will keep the Egoista for its personal collection or sell it. Either way, it absolutely must be the next Batmobile. There’s no way around it. It must.

Who gets the Egoista? Batman? Tony Stark? Vin Diesel? You? Comment below.

Fiat-Chrysler pressured dealers to take extra inventory to boost sales numbers
2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon

Recently Fiat-Chrysler reported 40,000 vehicles backed up in storage lots, which was causing tension with its dealers. Back in 1980 and again in 2009, during its two worst financial crises, Chrysler used a tactic called "sales banks" to inflate their sales numbers. Instead of constantly slowing and speeding production to meet variations in demand, Their factories work at full capacity year-round. Any unsold cars are “banked” in storage lots until demand picks up, and dealers are generally pushed into taking as many of these cars as possible.

Investors and financial analysts frown upon the practice of sales banks because it can look like the company has falsified inventory figures. Dealers across the country do not like the practice because it can pressure them to take on greater numbers of vehicles than they want. Some dealers do see an upside to this practice, since if they need a certain model or trim package in a hurry odds are it will just be sitting there waiting for them, even if the manufacturer may try and use that vehicle as bait to unload more banked inventory.

In a statement issued on November 7, Honda threw its hat in the self-driving-vehicle ring by joining the Automated Vehicle Safety Consortium (AVSC). The AVSC, formed in April, already includes SAE International, Ford, General Motors, Toyota, Uber ATG, Daimler, and Lyft as members.

"Honda sees great potential in automated vehicle technology to greatly reduce injuries and fatalities for all road users," said Toshihiro Mibe, president and representative director, Honda R&D Co., Ltd., in explaining Honda's decision to participate. "Joining AVSC will allow us to further our goals by establishing broadly accepted best safety practices."

Most people want to keep their cars away from full self-driving, study says
ford buys quantum signal to aid self driving car development argo ai fusion autonomous prototype in detroit

Americans and their cars are a tight-knit relationship that goes back to the Model T and in some cases, it is a love story. Some of us love the feel of the road and the symbiotic relationship between human beings and machines. What about when the autonomous machine takes over and we are reduced to nothing more than freight?  That is what SAE International wanted to know in a poll conducted over 18 months.

SAE had a series of demo days in Los Angeles, Tampa, Detroit, and Babcock Ranch, Florida, where 1,400 respondents took pre- and post-ride questionnaires answering a variety of questions about brand, mobility, and consumer preference. Two-thousand self-driving vehicle rides were given over the course of the study. Participants experienced Level 3 and Level 4 driving features such as the vehicle starting, stopping, accelerating, and decelerating on its own. The vehicle systems were from AutonomouStuff, Perrone Robotics or Dataspeed Inc. on closed courses with a driver in place for safety intervention only.
