Equipment
3,994/1035hp twin-turbo hybrid V-8, silver brake calipers, titanium paddle shifters. Reported to have £275,000 in special options, however options not listed.
Condition
In the US under Show and Display. Reported to have £275,000 in special options, a hefty add-on to the $2M starting price. Number 87 of 106 Speedtails built. A new car inside and out with just 275 miles represented and showing few signs of use.
Market commentary
Only a few Speedtails have hit the auction market, and typically they have brought significantly more than their original price. Not this one, however. It’s the cheapest Speedtail sold at auction to date (if you can call $2.7M “cheap”) and indeed the only Speedtail to sell for less than $3M. As a Show and Display exemption car it can be driven only 5,000 miles per year, not that it is likely ever to see a fourth digit on its odometer.
