8 months ago, we saw an obvious market discrepancy between gated manual Murciélagos and Gallardos.

Last week, they set a new auction record. $100k+ over the trading average from when we highlighted the gap.

Reading the automotive market is all about judging what driving trends and influences are popular in car culture.

The market is showing daily signals that it values unique drivetrains and raw analog feel paired with daily usability. Cars that fit that sweet spot are skyrocketing. Hence, the ensuing Ferrari 458, 488, F12 & 812 auction records.

Our next pick is obviously undervalued under our criteria.

Enter the Audi R8 V10 gated manual 6-speed.
AKA, an almost identical car to the Gallardo that just hammered for a new record.

This clean example just sold for $139,000.

We’re so confident in this market gap that we’re pinning this post for 6 months. See ya at $200k!

@andyhattemer Well done, didn’t see it coming

An 8-mile, 2006 Ford GT Heritage Edition just sold for $2.1 million.

The BAT auction had over 1,700 comments and reportedly set a record for the longest overtime bidding period of nearly two hours.

At this price, it is competing with cars like the Carrera GT, but pristine examples of those now trade for millions more.

Should European cars still command that premium, or are the best American cars finally catching up?

Let us know your thoughts! 👇

@vvsmoe Agreed.

Often times being associated with a certain echelon of vehicle is beneficial, whether it's sold or not.

[Guards Autohaus @guardsautohaus]

@competitionreal Don’t understand why they didn’t reveal this car in black.. seems like an obvious oversight

[Guards Autohaus @guardsautohaus]

@BrenzGarage “Yeah no way that car sells for $460”

-Gone in 2hrs

Happened countless times the last week.

If I was a wholesale dealer, I’d entertain the idea of only holding 992 3RS inventory lol

[Guards Autohaus @guardsautohaus]

@carsales_guy @thedooberhead Unironically the Hurricane motor seems really tempting for content creators

Sounds and performs like an American 2J

[Guards Autohaus @guardsautohaus]

@carsales_guy @BrenzGarage 😂😂

3RS market is the real frontier

[Guards Autohaus @guardsautohaus]

@Saishin560 This is so unreal 😂

[Guards Autohaus @guardsautohaus]

The Revuelto is already approaching $600K, but the depreciation may not be the biggest concern.

Early cars have developed a reputation for software glitches, hybrid-system faults and repeated trips back to the dealer.

That raises a more interesting question:

At $600K, is the Revuelto becoming underrated, or are buyers finally pricing in the risk of owning Lamborghini’s first V12 hybrid?

You miss the entire point

-His point is Bitcoin lacks adaptability to a large audience due to security concerns from frequent major breaches

-Your point is he lacks the proper connections

Do you see the problem?

If people who want to use BTC are unable to as they are funneled into only a select and ever changing “safe platform”

It lacks adaptability to be used by ENOUGH people to drive price action like it was thought it could in the past.

@BrenzGarage Performante in terms of looks imo

[Guards Autohaus @guardsautohaus]

This is the most expensive 488 Pista ever sold.

It sold last week for $955,000 with 5000 miles.

Where? Bring a Trailer, of course.

And all the comments think the car didn't sell for high enough. "Million-dollar spec," they say.

A week later, there are over 7 Pistas publicly listed for over $1,000,000.

The Pebble Beach Auction is less than one week away.

This car, without a doubt, was the sacrificial lamb to prepare the bidders.

The 488 Pista is going to the moon, and people will call this a great buy for a great price in 3 months from today.

Need to have one? DM us.

@CoryNewspaper Thank you! We agree.

Available: Agaso Outdoor Ford Bronco Restomod 🌲

A stunning, professionally built Bronco powered by a Blueprint Motors 302 V8 with just 7,300 miles.

Freshly serviced and fitted with a brand new set of tires.

DM to inquire.

[Guards Autohaus @guardsautohaus]

@CoryNewspaper I still love em too but just can't justify the price -> car ratio personally

@Abomination81 @DrReefer @elder_plinius It’s hilarious to me that the ingenious solutions to jail breaking AI vaguely resemble the early days of jail breaking iPhones.

Pushing the frontier one manipulative prompt at a time

Ferrari genuinely could electrify a shopping cart, add a touchscreen, roll it into a house fire, and Silicon Valley VCs would still pay $250k over sticker.

A lot cooler in person and much more pastel than expected
