One of the two Lamborghinis that appeared in the 2013 movie “The Wolf of Wall Street” was successfully sold at auction for US$1.66 million (approximately HK$12.96 million), more than doubling the current estimated market value of US$780,000. There are many. Two Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary Special Editions launched in 1989 appeared in the movie. Both were put up for auction last year, but only one was successfully sold.

Only 600 units of the Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary Special Edition were produced, of which 12 units were sold in Bianco Polo white in the United States, making it a very rare car. The one driven by Leonardo DiCaprio’s character Jordan Belfort was severely damaged in the movie and was auctioned as an installation art piece during the Abu Dhabi F1 event at the end of November last year. At that time, the auction house predicted a transaction price of is between $1.5 million and $2 million. The highest bid at the time was US$1.35 million, but the auction failed because it did not meet the seller’s reserve price.

Another intact Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary Special Edition was sold by the auction house Sotheby’s and was successfully sold for US$1.66 million in December last year. Now that it has been sold intact and a price has been set, I believe that the damaged one may not be sold as high as previously expected, and may even be lower than the previous bid of $1.35 million.
