Each piece will be auctioned and filmed in video.
Non-fungible tokens (NFTs), are currently in the spotlight. An exploding supercar is also a magnet for attention. This supercar certainly caught our attention. We have also seen other supercars being destroyed before. This 2015 Lamborghini Uracan exit scene is dramatic and slow-motion.
The slow-mo clip is only a small part of the story. A conceptual artist, known as SHL0MS (that’s the zero in place the letter O), decided to fill a 2015 Huracan container with enough explosives that it could be effectively reduced to tiny pieces. Although we don’t know the exact type and quantity of explosives used in the explosion, an explosives and engineering team explained it to us via email. They wanted the Lambo pieces to be “aesthetically pleasing.”
This is a good thing, as the project’s core objective is to record 999 videos with carefully-selected pieces. Each video displays a rotating view and each NFT has its own code. The auction will feature all NFTs. It will begin on February 25th and end at midnight. This auction aims to prove that the parts are more valuable than the entire car. Each NFT will need to fetch around $230, with a 2015 Huracan selling at around $230,000.
Curiously, this press release seems to suggest that the whole thing may be related to Lamborghini allegedly going after NFT artistes. Lamborghini has just embarked on its bizarre NFT adventure. It remains to be seen if people will watch videos of lamborghini chunks charred.
Those of us who work in the car industry know that parts are always more valuable than the car. We’re not talking about the actual parts, like bearings, pistons, suspension arms and so on. This could be the next NFT score: photos of car parts. Maybe we should all get on board with that idea.
