World's Most Expensive Car

[Wing_Z]

USD35 million... it's green and it's not a Bugatti. (http://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/motoring/7052738/The-worlds-most-expensive-car)

Hmmm, when I read your headline I thought Bugatti Royale, but then the body text so thought 250 GTO?

Good stuff.

I like to think I own a future classic, LOL

...I wonder what the insurance premiums would be like.....?

The driver should be cited for his "California Stop" as shown in the video clip... just saying... :pop4:

[Wing_Z]

Cold Brakes! he was frantically stomping on the brake pedal... nada.
Perhaps he assumed when you've spent that much on a car, everything works like a Lexus straight off the showroom floor.

Sjeeeezzzz ! :isadizzy:

And it's not even the most beautiful car in the world anymore.... Not after the Jaguar E-Type got its SP2... Who wouldn't want 47 of these for the price of that one, venomous green, Ferrari 250 GTO :

I sure won't ! I'd be outrageously happy with just one ! :cool:

SP2... LOL
It is utterly gorgeous, isn't it?
I would love to see the equivalent of these guys take on a '65 Corvette.
I built one in 1/8th scale years ago in metallic blue, a shape to die for.

Hear! Hear! Sign me up! I remember seeing an E-type in BRG on Eglinton Ave. in Toronto some years ago - first time I saw one in the flesh - and knew then that there wasn't a car on the road that could hold a candle to her. You can keep your Ferrari's, Porsche's, and overcooked Lamborghini's, make mine a Jag E-type convertible every time!

There's a bright red E-type that I see on the roads here now and again. I'd love to have a V-12 one.

I'm a 'poor man's sports/race car collector ( poor man between brackets because for the price of some of these 1/18 scale diecast models one can easily buy a nice second hand real car ) and i am waiting to get my grubby little hands on the yet to be released Autoart E-Type S1 Coupé 3.8. Photos of the model look very promising.


I think it might well be a fat chance to see the Eagle Speedster being modeled in 1:18 diecast ( preferably by CMC, BBR or Exoto ) in the foreseeble future but 'hoop doet leven' as we say here in Holland. ( as long as there's hope there's life )

Btw, this sure is not the 'World's most expensive model car' but with $17,500.00 it comes reasonably close. As such it could well be the 1:8 model variant of the car in the subject. I suppose it'll take an equally crazy person that bought the real thing to take out his credit card for this beauty :

As i am a crazy person myself i would very much like to step forward.. :toilet:

I bet a modern day Kia drives better.....

[Javis]

Blasphemy ! :173go1:

[TeaSea]

Yes, but I remember a friend of mine who finally got he car of his dreams -- 1965 Mustang with the vaunted 289 V8.

Told me he loved it, but his sister's base model KIA Forte was a far superior driver.

I agree...
All nice cars, and... Also Jaguar... Is this one for sale ? I think no, outstanding and very rare XJ-13 :
