The tuner wants to sell a slot in a build at a price that is way higher than the original sticker.
The Sian FKP 37 was named in honor Ferdinand Karl Piech (VWB’s chairman of executive board 1993-2002). It will be remembered as Lamborghini’s first hybrid. The company’s most powerful production vehicle, it packs a staggering 819 horsepower from its electrified 12 engine. It debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2019 with a sold out status. However, you can now purchase one of the 63 cars that are currently in production.
It’s also extremely expensive. Lamborghini did not reveal the exact price of the car, but it did state that those who were granted the opportunity to purchase one before the official premiere paid more then EUR2 million, or approximately $2.15M at current exchange rate plus taxes. Ad for Lamborghini. Mobile.deThe Aventador-based hybrid machine has a asking price of EUR3.17M ($3.4M) before taxes. Add in Germany’s 19% value added tax (VAT) and you get an eye-watering sticker at EUR3.77M ($4.05M).
The car’s owner is the controversial tuner . However, “owner” may not be the best word since the car hasn’t been delivered yet. Mansory will ship the car to its rightful owner in June. This means that Mansory is selling a build slot. It’s actually trying to turn a build slot for quick and nice profit.
This is a ridiculous asking price considering the original sticker. However, someone paid $8.3 million to purchase another Aventador-based special car. The Veneno Roadster had a MSRP of $4.5million. It seems that anything is possible today, with dealer markups for a 2020 Shelby GT500 reaching $80,000, and those for a Subaru WRX STI S209 reaching $50,000.
Wait until Lamborghini releases a more exclusive model, perhaps a last chance for the Aventador. For a car from Sant’Agata, the markups are likely to reach new records.
Last but not least, Mansory also has other expensive and high-end cars listed at Mobile.de. These include a Ferrari 599 Alonso Edition, LaFerrari Aperta and an F430 Scuderia Spider 16M. There are also some other questionably modified cars.
