A 1989 25th Anniversary Bianco Polo Countach, featured in the movie 'The Wolf of Wall Street', is set to be auctioned. With its Hollywood pedigree and unique features, including U.S.-spec bumpers and a white interior, the car is expected to fetch a premium price of up to $2 million.
The Wolf of Wall Street."
The 1989 25th Anniversary Bianco Polo Countach is one of two cars used in the film, but the other was badly damaged during production. With its U.S.-spec bumpers and Bianco interior, the car is considered– at up to $2 million by some estimates. The damaged car still wears its scars, but Sotheby’s pointed out that the Countach in its auction sustained no damage during filming.
With a 5.2-liter V12 under its rear hatch, the Countach was like something from outer space at the time. That sizable powerplant made 449 horsepower and 370 pound-feet of torque when new, which reached the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission. Its performance isn’t all that impressive by today’s standards – it takes around 5 seconds to hit 62 mph from a standstill. The 190 mph top speed is quite stout, but the Countach’s appeal is about more than its specs.
, and this car is breathtaking, even with its goofy U.S. bumpers — safety regulations here required the addition of awkward bumper guards on the car’s nose.
