A $2.5 Million Ferrari Met A Mercedes Bumper, Guess Who Folded First

Image
A rare 812 Competizione Aperta has been wrecked in Malibu. Only 599 examples of the open-top V12 supercar were built. Values have climbed from $700,000 to over $2.5 million. With just 599 examples built, the Ferrari 812 Competizione Aperta has quickly become a highly sought-after collector’s item, now valued at around $2.5 million, despite originally starting at $700,000 just a few years ago. The supercar’s value and rarity make it even sadder to see what’s happened to this one. A couple of days ago, a silver-and-yellow 812 Competizione A was seen cruising along the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, but moments later, it was wedged under the rear of what appears to be a Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet.

The Trademarks According to CarSales , Subaru has trademarked the ACX and ACX STI nameplates with IP Australia, a callback to the ACX-II concept car from 1985. The Australian outlet leans toward a gasoline-powered application, pointing to separate “Flat Shift” and “Rev Sync” filings as supporting evidence. However, trademarks lodged elsewhere in the world tell a different story. More: Subaru Can’t Sell You A Proper WRX STI, But It...
