The 1989 Lamborghini Countach used in the filming of the biopic The Wolf of Wall Street will find a new owner thanks to an upcoming sale at RM Sotheby's in the US. They plan to get about $2,000,000 for the supercar.
The 1989 Lamborghini Countach is a sought after collector car. However, if we talk about this lot, then its popularity played a role here due to its "participation" in the film. Usually, its price is half the price it is expected to fetch at the RM Sotheby's auction.
In Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street, a Lamborghini Countach appeared in a memorable scene that perfectly embodied the extravagant lifestyle of the film's main character, Jordan Belfort. The car's striking appearance and exciting performance added an extra level of authenticity to the story, making it a symbol of luxury.
According to the plot, the hero Leonardo DiCaprio bought this supercar, and later got behind the wheel under the influence of drugs and crashed the car in an accident. Two cars were used in the filming, and one of them was actually destroyed. The second car was preserved and is in excellent condition. It will be sold at the auction.
And if we recall the characteristics of the car, they are really impressive: a 5.2-liter V12 with a capacity of 455 hp. and a 5-speed manual gearbox. It accelerates to 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds and develops 295 km/h. The supercar belongs to the Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary version. Only 657 such coupes were produced, and this was the final version of the model.
The sale of this iconic Lamborghini Countach is believed to further elevate its status in the world of collectible cars, cementing its place as an icon of cinematic and automotive history.
