(By Eric Rood) – It’s not every day you stumble over one of the most advanced cars in history with 92 miles on it selling for a few thousand clams, but if you’ve got the right kind of Copart account (Pro tip: You probably don’t), it might be your lucky day. Sure, it’ll be saddled with a salvage title and there’s the old persistent Porsche problems of taking out another mortgage at every service interval, but can you put a price on a great story?
From the look of it, some New York owner binned their brand-new $1.5 million hypercar on a concrete barrier or something, but that person’s carelessness can be your gain! As of this writing, the high bid is only $13,600 and the 1,000-horsepower drivetrain is clearly worth a couple hundred grand on its own. Maybe someone can stuff the engine and hybrid unit into a properly light car and take it drag racing. Or road racing. Or any racing. Please, someone buy this and do something cool with it.

With a current bid of $101,000 I’m out. 🙁 🙂
Makes a good argument for self driving cars…….for wealthy morons.
The drug dealer will just buy another one.
Sell on what’s left of the body and chassis, then swap the drivetrain into a Smart car…..
This guy gets it.
I’d go $150K, but only if it still has that new car smell.
