Ferrari says $640k Luce EV no prank

The car here is real, and its the Ferrari Luce, a five-seat electric vehicle with lots of Ferrari badges. Reviews for the I-Phone looking PoS crossover-ish electric Ferrari aren't good. With a starting price of about $640k for horrendus looks and 280 miles of range, the Luce EV isn't for everybody.
The vehicle is no slouch. It can hit 60 mph in around 2.5 seconds onto a top speed of 192 mph.

War Rig

13 heavily modified vehicles used in "Mad Max: Fury Road" were up for grabs in 2021 at Oz's Lloyd's Auction. The war rig changed hands for a reported $1m.
The Tatra T815, aka the "The War Rig", is a custom vehicle driven by Imperator Furiosa in Mad Max Fury Road.
"You're sitting on 2000 horse power of nitro-boosted war machine." FURIOSA.
Another highlight is the Gigahorse, captained by the fearsome Immortan Joe. Made from a pair of 1959 Cadillac Coupe de Villes that were widened and mated together, it’s powered by a pair of V-8 engines and has a flamethrower and harpoon launcher.
Perfect for parties, the Doof Wagon is a MAN 8×8 missile carrier that’s been repurposed for psychological warfare. The rolling bandstand is festooned with speakers and served as a stage for an electric-guitar-wielding Doof Warrior.

1965 Ford GT40 Roadster Prototype - $7.6m

The first of five GT40 roadsters built, the eighth of twelve GT40 prototypes. Built for Shelby American as a test and development car. One of two GT40 chassis used by Kar Kraft for J and X series development.

One of the finest, most original, and rarest examples of Ford’s iconic race car.
The GT Competition Prototype Roadster is a forerunner to all of the glory that Ford garnered in its historic run to four consecutive overall victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans from 1966 through 1969. The genesis of the Ford GT program is that Henry Ford II, known popularly as “The Deuce,” thought he had a deal with Enzo Ferrari to purchase the famous Italian automaker in 1963. Ferrari angered Ford at their meeting to close the deal. Ford famously declared war on Ferrari.
12 prototypes were built by Ford between January 1964 and April 1965. Ford’s first international sports car, it is considered by most to be the world’s first supercar.
In 2014 the car hammered for $6.9m.

That number was $7.6m in 2019.

McLaren F1 Le Mans Spec package - $19.8m

The McLaren F1 holds a hallowed place in the supercar universe. 106 of them were built with 64 being legally allowed to drive on public roads. Chassis 018 is even more special.

This ultra-rare McLaren F1 is the 'best of the best' and those bragging rights don't come cheap.
