Why record car prices?

Luxury items, especially unique ones like the first electric Ferrari, often command huge prices at auction. Factors like brand prestige, limited availability, and the involvement of famous designers such as Sir Jony Ive can significantly inflate value, turning a high-end product into a collector's item and a record breaker.
