Someone Invested Ferrari Money in Options, Only to Sell This Aston After 60 Miles | Carscoops

      A one-of-a-kind ultra-rare purple hypercar, complete with $320,000 in custom options and only 60 miles on the odometer, is set to go under the hammer.

      Aston Martin produced merely 85 units of the exclusive Valkyrie Spider.

      This particular model is anticipated to attract bids of up to $4.1 million.

      With nearly $320,000 in tailored features, the value of this hypercar is significantly enhanced.

      Another Aston Martin Valkyrie is making its way to auction, this time adorned in an eye-catching purple hue that distinguishes it even among the rarest hypercars. It is projected to sell for as much as $4.1 million.

      Similar to several Valkyries that have recently been sold, this one has seen minimal use, clocking in just 97 km (60 miles), indicating the owner likely spent more time admiring it than driving.

      The Valkyrie Spider is considerably rarer than the Coupe, with the hardtop version limited to 150 units while only 85 Spiders were manufactured.

      This specific vehicle, number 39, was ordered by Argentine businessman Alejandro Roemmers, whose impressive collection has included items like a Pagani Zonda Cinque, a Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta, and a Bugatti Centodieci.

      To create his dream Valkyrie, Roemmers invested £25,000 ($33,500) for a Storm Purple Gloss finish with Trophy Silver highlights, and that’s only the beginning.

      The hypercar features exposed carbon fiber on the roof panels, engine cover, windshield wiper mount, and substantial parts of the lower body. Roemmers spent £45,000 ($60,500) on the carbon fiber and an additional £40,000 ($53,700) for the matte black aluminum wheels.

      Inside the cabin, the seats are upholstered in luxurious Phantom Grey Alcantara, with numerous carbon fiber elements throughout. Roemmers also opted for the Interior Hardware Pack, which includes silver-anodized steering wheel switches.

      In total, he invested £237,500 ($319,000) on additional features, as reported by Broad Arrow Auctions. This amount surpasses the U.S. base price of a new Ferrari Amalfi, which is around $280,000, and is close to that of a $350,000 296 GTB, demonstrating that supercar options come at a steep price in this category.

      Valkyries are notable not only for their performance but also for their complexity. Ownership experiences have included tales of electrical issues and demanding upkeep.

      Earlier this month, a Valkyrie Coupe that was once owned by former F1 driver Daniel Ricciardo sold at Broad Arrow Auctions for €2.28 million, or about $2.66 million.
