Why 6.2: Center seat, NA V12, gold-lined engine bay — the consensus greatest road car ever built. At $21M nobody buys one to drive it; the owners who do make headlines precisely because it's newsworthy.

The long version
The value chart alone explains the ownership pattern: a car worth roughly 800 grand in 2000 is worth 21 million now, and at that kind of appreciation almost nobody who owns one thinks of themselves as a driver first, they think of themselves as a trustee. The handful who do put miles on it become minor celebrities in the enthusiast press specifically because it is so rare; a car this good, this analog, sitting mostly unused is the whole tragedy the Garage Queen badge is built to capture. F1 DNA is earned outright, gold-lined engine bay and all, the hardware never stopped being a 10, only the chance to feel it did.
