The 1989 Lamborghini Countach that Leonardo DiCaprio drove in The Wolf of Wall Street was sold at Sotheby's in New York for $1.655 million, MarketWatch writes.

This is a record price for a car of this model. The previous record was $880 thousand.

Martin Scorsese's film used two identical cars, the second one was damaged during filming because it was involved in an accident in the script. It was also auctioned earlier this year but never sold.

In total, Sotheby's managed to sell cars worth $13.61 million at a specialized auction. The most expensive lot was the 1953 Fiat 8V Supersonic, which went under the hammer for $2.4 million. A total of 14 cars of this model were produced in the world. This car has had only four owners and has hardly been used.
