Is it electric?

[Neil Bardsley]

Unfortunately I can't watch the video at work but the chance of Warren Buffett owning a speedster is about 0%. Must be owned by someone else! For a very successful investor he isn't know for spending. I think he has owned the same house and car for 20 years?

[Edwin Ek]

If anybody owns it, Gates probably does. He bought a 959 when they were new and kept it in a warehouse for a long time because he couldn't register it- it wasn't US legal.

I think Gates was instrumental in getting the show and display law passed. Buffett doesn't care about cars.

its a plastic....

It is electric and plastic. Company is Electra Meccanica. $250K, 250 ft-lb of torque at motor, 644 at rear wheels. How does that work?!?

Warren traded in his 06 Caddy on a 2014. He only drives about 3500 miles/year so his 06 was probably still a creampuff. https://money.cnn.com/2014/07/15/autos/ ... index.html

interesting - the company is tied to Inter mechanica.. spelling likely not correct.
it is the company from Vancouver that produces the replica 356 cars .. good product for sure..
