Exclamation World's most expensive car and it has some Porsche influence

A 1939 Auto Union Silver Arrow goes on auction next week and is expected to fetch around $12,000,000.00 - $15,000,000.00...any takers?

And just as I was saving up for the ranch next door now up for $22.5M and you hit me with this?

I'll take the land instead.

Nice article, so is it mid engine or rear engine?

if they market this right I think they will get what they want for this car...I'm continuously impressed at the disposable cash there is in this world.

Is that what Michael Jackson's Neverland ranch is going for? ... Way over priced if you ask me.

No. Not Neverland. Actually, it is part of the original ranch I live on. 555 acres. Asking $22.5M! 300 acres of producing avocados, 100 acres of lemons. I think you get a house, too for all that.

You think they would take a check?

Based upon where the exhaust exits it appears to be a mid engine.
