Well, now there are only 32, as one of them has gone missing from its home in Italy.

And with a $117,902 reward on the line for whoever brings it home, this car is evidently very valuable – despite originally being sold for a mere $12.

The ‘most beautiful car in the world’ has gone missing – and the owner is putting up a big reward for it

You’ll no doubt be scratching your head at this point.

How on Earth did such a magnificent car go for a measly $12 (or 10 euros)?

Usually, for a car to go for that sort of price, it’d have to be severely damaged – like this Porsche 911 GT3.

Well, there’s more to this story than just a ridiculously good bargain.

The family of this car’s late owner has alleged that he was pressured into signing the sales agreement while in a ‘vulnerable emotional state’.

Immediately after the transfer, the new owner reportedly deregistered the vehicle, removed its license plates, and moved the car out of Italy.

You don’t have to be a detective to realize that this all sounds very shady and suspicious.

The fact that this all went down in the Naples area, where the Italian mafia is known to operate, only heightens suspicions.

Whoever is apprehended for this ordeal will likely be charged with forgery and extortion.

With a $117,902 (100,000 euros) reward on the line, hopefully somebody will do the right thing and return the ‘most beautiful car in the world’ home.

Cars can sometimes turn up inexplicably

We’ve seen missing cars turn up years after disappearing, so the family shouldn’t be too discouraged.

This German man found his car 20 years after he’d reported it stolen – as he’d simply forgotten where he’d parked it.

For Justin Bieber, it took three weeks for his $260,000 Ferrari to be found after a wild night out.

But three weeks is nothing compared to the amount of time this poor Florida man had to wait to be reunited with his Lamborghini.
