Including Lamborghini Urus and McLaren Spiders are also experiencing a downfall in recent crypto crashes.

CarDealershipGuy said, “It is clear that in the last couple of months the decline in prices for exotic vehicles has accelerated and that correlates very, very well with the meltdown in the crypto markets where we know that some of the biggest customers of exotic vehicles were crypto millionaires.”
