The legendary 1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary edition, featured prominently in the filming of Martin Scorsese’s “The Wolf of Wall Street,” is set to hit the auction block. The highly-anticipated sale will be part of the inaugural event, “On the Grid: The Abu Dhabi Auction,” taking place on November 25, 2023, with curation by Bonhams Cars.
While two Lamborghini Countach cars were used in the film, the one up for auction endured the brunt of the action, including the unforgettable Quaalude-fueled drive by Jordan Belfort, portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio. The visible extensive damage on the vehicle serves as a testament to its pivotal role in the movie.
Painted in a sleek Bianco Polo finish, this 1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary edition became an emblem of opulence and extravagance in the film, perfectly encapsulating the era’s Wall Street excesses.
During its brief yet unforgettable appearance alongside DiCaprio, the car played a vital role in one of the movie’s most iconic scenes. In that memorable sequence, the Quaalude-impaired Belfort desperately grapples with the car’s scissor doors before forcefully kicking them open, ultimately leading to the scene’s climactic events.
Maintained meticulously in its “as-filmed” condition since its cinematic debut, the vehicle will be offered at the upcoming auction, accompanied by an exclusive collector’s package. This package includes original cast wardrobe and signed props, a Jordan Belfort costume, a director’s chair, and a clapboard signed by Scorsese, DiCaprio, and Margot Robbie, along with two crew hoodies and two DVDs of the film, all accompanied by certificates of authenticity.
Bonhams has estimated the value of “The Wolf of Wall Street” Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary edition Hero Car to be between $1.5 and $2 million USD. Bidding for this iconic piece of cinematic history will commence on November 25. Potential bidders can find more information about the lot on Bonhams’ official website.
