    Feels kind of low in a way. This is a unique car that has been raced with in the top racing series in the world. There are other unique cars that are already going for millions, so I would think a rich person would want these.

    The biggest downside is that these things will likely sit in a showroom, considering how hard they are to both start and drive.

      Isn’t this one unraced?

      Edit: oh duh, unraced for now. Serves me right for not reading the article before replying lol, sorry! I guess if the price tag is lower, it’s because the 2026 car has not proven its legacy yet, whereas something like the MP4/4 has a very storied and desirable (and therefore very expensive) provenance.

        Yeah, I get why they auctioned it now but this simply means that no one was willing to pay as much as if it had been auctioned off in 2027 after a successful season
