Bottas Sweetens Deal After Listing 190k Euro Mercedes Super Car for Sale
Earlier last week, it transpired that Valtteri Bottas was putting his Mercedes sports car up for sale. The car in question was a 2018 Mercedes AMG GTS, and the car is only up for sale in Finland. Obviously, the car will be awfully expensive, but just how expensive, you ask?
The car costs an eye-watering 190,000 euros.
The driver posted the advertisement on a Finnish website called Tori Autot. After posting the advertisement, he took to Twitter to ask for potential buyers. The best part is that he even made a promise to entice them.
