I'm gunna take a stab and predict if you can afford to buy one $4m car, you can afford two, ie. $4m down the gurgler probably wouldn't much bother the dude who owned this car.

Also, can anyone figure out why these things are in the region of $4m? Seriously, they're nice and all, and a clear step above a standard Aston, but fek me, I can't see where $4m goes, apart from bragging rights.

pretty much nailed it with bragging rights, unlike the Veyron which reportedly 'cost' more than they sold for this thing is all about being the only motherfarker on the block with one.

Sure its fast but for $4m i would want it to be able to fly me to the moon and back in time for dinner..

True, 4m in eccys and you can fly forever

just sidetracking a bit on the article.

while the Australian asking price was rumoured to be $4 million at the time it was released in 2009. One local buyer was believed to have put a deposit on a car, but it is unclear whether it was delivered.

the first and only (so far) One-77 in Australia arrived to it's owner last month. The owner is based in the Gold Coast. Price to get it here was allegedly 3MIL, and the owner threw a suit and tie party to celebrate it's arrival.

champagne, coke and eccies would have been flowing freely i imagine.

Why is it all these guys are in QLD?

[alex182]
