A work by French artist Richard Orlinski
This is also a story from overseas, but a 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 (model 997.1) is for sale, priced at a whopping 2 million euros.
2 million euros is roughly 329,210,000 yen at today's exchange rate.
The mileage is said to be 41,240 km, and this GT3 has not undergone any mechanical modifications.
No, wait.
It's exactly the same in our houseMaybe a 2007 997.1 911 GT3?!! ↓
Would someone buy it for 300 million yen? Sure? (←Where did the Porsche love go (lol))
...Well, if you think about it normally, it's the kind of amount that would get you scolded and asked, "Why do I have to spend 300 million yen on a 997 GT3?"
So what is different about this GT3 that costs over 300 million yen? As you can see from its exterior, it has a very distinctive body design.
This Porsche is apparently the work of French sculptor and neo-pop artist Richard Orlinski.
Orlinski is an artist known for his striking animal-inspired works.
This GT3 wasn't just wrapped in a simple design; it took 500 hours to complete, with 10 layers of grey paint and 11 layers of yellow paint being applied.
The artist's signature is on the rear, and there is also a metal plate engraved inside the car (which is a bit bent?).
Originally manufactured in 2007, this GT3 was completed as an art car in 2018.
It was later auctioned in Monaco in the same year, with an estimated price of 185,000 to 230,000 euros (approximately 30.45 million to 37.85 million yen today), and the proceeds were donated to charity.
Several years will pass since then, and the same GT3 will reappear in Portugal in 2024.
Elite AutomotiveSo the price is "negotiable" but hereJames EditionIf you look at this site, you will see the price listed as 2,000,000 euros.
It has been over a year since it was listed and it still hasn't sold, but is the selling price really 2 million euros?
I wonder if there was a typo where I added an extra zero and the actual amount is 200,000 euros (about 33 million yen).
But it's been up for over a year, so if it was a mistake they would have noticed by now, so maybe it's really 2 million euros after all...
