Kinja'd!!!

Spotted at a car show. This $300k barge, which commemorates the 100th anniversary of RR’s victory in a 1913 road rally through the alps, is just 1/35 made. There is a mountain range on the glove box, and the robin’s egg blue paint? That option costs $40k. That’s right. $40,000 for some paint, which is without a doubt the most expensive option I’ve ever heard of. Can anyone top that?!

I thought it was more like $400,000?

Definitely possible with options, according to the article I found it starts in the 200s and their test vehicle was mid 3s?

I think the Tourbillon option for 160k in Bentleys takes the cake on this one.

Feel free to buy one in a different color, I’ll gladly paint it Robin’s Egg Blue for you for $30,000 (a 25% savings!).

**jaw drops**

Those diamonds... yikes. As watch nerd that does seem like a somewhat reasonable price if that’s an in-house movement. Still insane though, you win!

Clearly the logical solution is to buy a a Hyperblue STI instead for your “LOOK AT ME” bright blue paint fix.

This was an “option” with the 918s when they came out. Buy a 918 and you can order a numbers matching 911 Turbo S for only $160K or if you want a convertible it’ll cost $172K

I like a good watch. So I think if I had the means I would probably add it on.

Ah yes I heard about this! And I believe the take rate was close to 100% which is hilarious.

Yep lots of watch guys on oppo, definitely goes hand in had with the car guy thing. I do appreciate the open heart and overall design but those jewels... I bet they’d leave them out for you?

I need to buy one of these and wait for the numbers matching owner of the 918 to pay insane money to complete the set. Just hold it ransom for years, eventually one of the 918 owners down the line will want it.

I don’t think that’s a mountain range. Looks more like an altitude map for the rally route maybe?

I mean if you’re already buying a 918, what’s another $200k?

Hmmm now that you mention it they are a little too pointy and narrow to be mountains, I bet you’re right

It’s Bentley. They would probably invade a country for you if you paid enough.
