A Lamborghini Huracan in good condition could cost up to around US $300,000.
Odds are a fragment of one is likely to sell for more! Here is why.
On February 25th 2022, you’ll be able bid on 888 fragments of a detonated Lamborghini Huracan. The explosion was filmed by a conceptual artist known as Shl0ms as an independent work of art dubbed $CAR.
Packed with explosives, the vehicle is seen blasting off to the high heavens in a slow-motion video across Shl0ms’ socials.
The process took a team of 100 people to carry out. Working together, the group transported the car to an empty desert, rigged the heat and set-up the cameras on-site. In total, 999 pieces were collected but 111 of those are reserved for “redacted” and the team, Shl0ms shared on Twitter. Each of the parts in the project comes with a video that shows a rotating view of it; those clips have been converted into NFTs with individualized codes.
The goal of the exercise ironically is to protest the “greed” surrounding cryptocurrency and NFTs. But as we know, in the metaverse, items often rake in excessively more dough than they do in physical form.
So is this a distasteful, not to mention wasteful, stunt, or a lucrative art project cum pot of gold?
Once the auction is held, I suppose we will find out.
