The Wolf of Wall Street Lamborghini Countach to be Auctioned by RM Sotheby’s
One of the two Lamborghini Countach models used in the filming of The Wolf of Wall Street will be auctioned off by RM Sotheby’s at its New York sales event on December 8.
Countach 25th Anniversary Edition
Two stunning examples of the 1989 Countach 25th Anniversary edition models were used in Martin Scorsese’s brilliant film, both finished in a shade of white known as Bianco Polo. It is understood that just 12 examples of the Countach 25th Anniversary were delivered in the U.S. painted in Bianco Polo with a Bianco interior.
Memorable Film Scene
One of the film’s most memorable scenes showed Leonardo DiCaprio driving the Lamborghini while intoxicated by alcohol and drugs. The Countach was intentionally crashed multiple times during filming but this particular example heading to auction was not the car that was damaged. While the car’s listing doesn’t note what scenes it was used for, it was presumably used for some of the glamor shots during the film.
Unique Features and Estimated Auction Price
A detailed history of the car’s ownership history has also not yet been released but we do know this Countach is chassis number KLA12722 and includes the sinfully-ugly U.S.-spec front bumperettes. The auction house expects it to sell for between $1.5 million and $2.0 million.
RM Sotheby’s Luxury Week
“The ‘Wolf’ Countach, along with the other cars that will be on offer, perfectly embodies what we set out to accomplish when we decided to host a sale during Sotheby’s Luxury Week,” RM Sotheby’s global head of auctions Gord Duff said.
“Scorsese, DiCaprio, Lamborghini, and New York—all make for an incredible pedigree. The sale will feature other similar cars—unique, highly collectible, with a degree of provenance, low mileage, or one-off specifications. Our team has a great track record of curating boutique sales such as this, and we look forward to showcasing this during Luxury Week,” he added.
Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of cinematic history. The auction of the iconic Lamborghini Countach from The Wolf of Wall Street will take place on December 8 at RM Sotheby’s New York sales event. With its unique features and connection to the film, this Countach is expected to fetch a high price. Make sure to mark your calendars and get ready to bid on this legendary car.
