Think of all the dream cars you can own and you get just an approximation of The Pinnacle Portfolio, a collection of cars the world has never seen. In it we find the Ferrari Enzo, which was given to Pope John Paul II as a gift, the very first Bugatti Veyron produced and the Saleen S7 from the movie Iron Man. But this is only the tip of the iceberg of the cars that were auctioned at RM Sotheby's.
Would you like to own a truly unique motorcycle? Then the Batpod, a dude motorcycle designed by Nathan Crowley specifically for Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises movies and ridden by none other than Batman (Christian Bale), is perfect for you. He used it in The Dark Knight when he was running away from the Joker (Heath Ledger) in the Tumbler, when he wanted to save Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gyllenhaal) and when he was chasing Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart). In The Dark Knight Rises, he and Seline Kyle (Anne Hathaway) used it during battles with Ban (Tom Hardy) and his League of Shadows. This very Batpod – well, one of only six – can now be yours!
Throughout the history of the automobile, there have been many cars that fetched high prices due to their rarity, historical significance, or simply because they were exceptionally well made and represented a certain technological milestone. These cars are often considered works of art, and their value is reflected in their high price.
