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

Does that come with the power unit or is it just the car?

[–] SleeplessCityLights@programming.dev 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

They don't allow anyone outside their team to have a good look of an engine that is current spec. So no.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

The article says the owner isn't getting the car until 2028 which may not be the current spec by then.

[–] SleeplessCityLights@programming.dev 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

When is the next engine regulation change?

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

No idea.
