When the heroes combat the evil in a Hollywood movie, cities, buildings, and cars are victims. In effect, they are wrecked, totaled, and demolished. <\/span>Following this destruction, you would have wondered, “How much is that going to cost?” Hollywood explicitly enjoys wrecking expensive cars. Furthermore, there are so many amazing car chase scenes that it’s difficult to fathom a world without them. <\/span>There is particularly nothing like the thrills of a car chase that can get your heart pounding. Specifically when it culminates with a spectacular accident or explosion. Hollywood has undeniably and joyfully destroyed some of the most expensive cars ever created, from silent-era comedies to recent blockbusters.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s a list of expensive cars that Hollywood has famously destroyed, or at the very least harmed, on screen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lykan Hypersport – Furious 7<\/span><\/h2>\n

Lykan Hypersport Supercar met its fate in Furious 7. If you enjoy movies with a lot of action, excellent cars, a little romance, and lots of mind-numbing destruction, then the Fast & Furious franchise is for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Lykan Hypersport Supercar is the most expensive car ever destroyed by a major Hollywood movie. It is estimated to be worth $ 3.5 million! <\/span>Only seven units exist, one of which was destroyed by the movie franchise. Or did they? W Motors did make a car for the movie that looked exactly like the Lykan, but they left off some of the more expensive parts so that the franchise didn’t damage one of the seven original cars.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aston Martin DBS – Casino Royale<\/span><\/h2>\n

Casino Royale introduced a new lead, Daniel Craig, and a new Aston Martin. Fans were ecstatic to see Daniel Craig and the Aston take to the air, but the DBS was far too stable to turn over. To get it to roll, they had to put a canon underneath it. The DBS didn’t go on the market until 2007.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lamborghini Murcielago LP640: The Dark Knight\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) in The Dark Knight prevents an assassination attempt by allowing a truck to crash into his Lamborghini Murcielago. Bruce Wayne was wealthy enough to probably not mind wrecking his Lamborghini Murcielago. <\/span>Because they always have extreme styling, a Lamborghini is a car you want to drive if you want everyone to notice you. In conclusion, they are always the loudest cars on the road. These cars also sell for more than $315000 on the open market.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fun fact: Murcielago is the Spanish word for bat.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

1967 Corvette Stingray: Con-Air\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

The top of the Corvette heap is the 1967 Stingray that was tied to a plane and dumped to the ground in “Con Air.” The gorgeous 1967 Corvette Sting Ray was taken into the air by a jet and smashed through a control tower. He was not pleased with Marshal Vince Larkin ‘borrowing’ it. <\/span>They were pretty much the fastest cars you could buy back in the day. These days, they’re worth quite a bit. In 2017, one ’67 Corvette sold for $675,000, while Stingrays often sell for six figures.<\/span><\/p>\n

1961 Ferrari 250 GT California: Ferris Bueler’s Day Off<\/span><\/h2>\n

Cameron accidentally wrecks his father’s prized property, a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California, but you don’t get too worked up about it. The stunt car that was damaged and the car that was utilized in the filming were both reproductions. That didn’t stop a bidder at an auction in 2010 from spending $122,000 for the undamaged replica.<\/span><\/p>\n

In January 2021, one of the fake Ferraris used in the film sold for $396,000. A genuine 1961 Ferrari 250 GT is valued between $4 and $10 million. Because there were so few of them, they were always extremely valuable.<\/span><\/p>\n
