That worked out so well for Jaguar with the XJ220...
Three issues here.
1: The XJ220 was not meant to be a limited edition.
2: The car was originally meant to have a V8 among other things that enticed buyers originally.
3: The world economy sucked for
all supercars, the McLaren F1 included.
From what I read, the owners all bought the car before even seeing it. Speculative buying based on faith. Sounds like a really great plan to me... I guess I'm not cut out for the high-risk investment world, because I wouldn't dream of doing such a thing. I'm confident the Veneno will appreciate like you say (see Reventon & Sesto) but I feel it's only because it was expensive to begin with.
You're even more clueless if you don't think these guys weren't briefed beforehand on what the car would include or look like in drawings.
Yes, but they are relying on their customers (the ones who are giving them money) to perceive the car as an investment. If they don't, then they won't be able to sell them. Which is what happened with the XJ220...
Again, this is a 50th Anniversary model made to celebrate the date. The XJ220 was not. It was a flop.
Ok, one more example and I will stop wasting everyone's time.

That article is from a few years ago when a Miura SV Prototype (likely more rare than the Veneno, but actually historically significant) and it sold for a little over $1 million. Likely the most rare of the most significant Lamborghini ever, a true 1 of 1, and it's FOUR TIMES cheaper than this new thing, which isn't really significant at all. I wonder if anyone at Lamborghini actually considers the Veneno as worth the money they are charging? Like I said, everything they are doing is logical and you can't fault them for doing it, I suppose, but I still find it a little disturbing.
Annnnd I'm done.
Four times cheaper?
Goodness, your math is as bad as Stotty's. Tell me where a $1.7 million car is four times cheaper than $4 million. Or that $1.7 million is a
little over $1 million?
The other problem with your post is that there is nothing on the car that sets apart from any other Miura SV other than it is the first. Rare of rare? The rarest of rare Miuras are the 2 SVJ Spiders, which ironically, neither of them sold for $1.7 million (though their price now-a-days is rumored to be over it but will never be released). The last reported price was just over $1 million in 2008.
Thank god you're done, though. Continuously proving you don't really know a thing about this car, but won't call out Ferrari for doing the same. Instead, you just exaggerate everything as an attempt to justify your posts. In reality, it's just sheer bias against the car based on the price alone without being able to come up with an actual legitimate thought.
