Wayne Gretzky, The Great One's ultra-rare 2006 Ford GT Heritage Edition hits auction on Bring a Trailer
When hockey legend Wayne Gretzky sells a car, it's not just news, it's a spectacle. His ultra-rare 2006 Ford GT Heritage Edition is now up for auction on Bring a Trailer, combining elite performance, low mileage, and celebrity provenance. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now With bidding open through June 6, collectors and fans alike are watching this sale closely. A Heritage supercar with the Wayne Gretzky's signature touch The 2006 Ford GT Heritage Edition isn't just another collector's item, it's a celebration of American racing history. Painted in the iconic Gulf Oil blue and orange, it honors the GT40s that dominated Le Mans in the 1960s. This specific car was once owned by none other than Wayne Gretzky, adding an entirely new level of allure for bidders. Powered by a 5.4-liter supercharged V8 producing 550 horsepower and paired with a six-speed manual transmission, this GT is all about old-school, analog thrills. A limited-slip differential and rear-wheel-drive layout deliver a driving experience that's raw, loud, and deeply connected to the road. Car and Driver once clocked it at 0–60 mph in just 3.3 seconds—a number that still holds weight. What sets this car further apart is its condition. With just 1,200 miles on the odometer, it's been barely touched since new. Inside, it remains factory-correct with black leather, air conditioning, and a CD player features almost ironic in such a stripped-down performance machine. And then there's Gretzky. His number '99' is proudly displayed on the doors, turning the car into a rolling tribute. While celebrity-owned vehicles can sometimes be overhyped, this particular combination—ultra-low mileage, a rare Heritage Edition, and ownership by one of sports' most iconic figures feels genuinely special. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Also Read: Unlike car-obsessed celebs like Steve McQueen or Paul Walker, Gretzky isn't known for his automotive passion. Some see it as a nice bonus, others as mere marketing. This listing has drawn far more attention than your typical Ford GT. The auction closes on June 6, and with the market already bullish on first-generation Ford GTs, all signs point to a high-stakes finish. Whether it lands with a hockey fan, a gearhead, or a museum, this car is poised to become more than just a footnote, it's a piece of performance history with a Hall of Fame signature.

Tesla leases warehousing facility in Mumbai's Kurla West for five years
Elon Musk's Tesla Inc has leased a 24,565 square-foot (sqft) warehousing facility in Mumbai's Kurla West for a five-year term, according to lease documents sourced from real estate data analytics firm CRE Matrix. The American electric carmaker will use the ground-floor space in Building 1 of Lodha Logistics Park as a service centre and garage, excluding bodywork and spray painting operations, the agreement states. This development comes to light a day after Union Heavy Industries Minister H D Kumaraswamy said Tesla was yet to show interest in manufacturing EVs in India. While the company is preparing for a market debut, local production does not figure into its immediate plans. Tesla will initially pay a monthly rent of ₹37.53 lakh (₹153 per sqft), with a 5 per cent annual escalation clause built into the lease. The licensor entity is Bellissimo (in City FC Mumbai 1), which operates in real estate services on a fee or contract basis. Tesla has deposited ₹2.25 crore as security. The lease officially commenced on April 20, 2025, with a rent-free period of one month and 10 days. Rent payments begin June 1, 2025. The lease was registered on May 16, 2025. Under the agreement, Tesla will also pay common area maintenance charges of ₹10 per sqft, with a 5 per cent annual escalation, and will receive 20 parking spots with the facility. 'Tesla's India entry is taking shape through a deliberate, multi-city rollout, from its office in Pune to flagship showrooms in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) and Delhi-NCR, co-working presence in BKC, and now a strategic warehousing facility in Kurla West,' said Abhishek Kiran Gupta, CEO of CRE Matrix. 'This 24,565 sqft lease at ₹153 per sqft is more than a real estate transaction — it's a signal of intent.' In March, Tesla leased showroom space in BKC for a monthly rent of ₹35.26 lakh -- or ₹888 per sqft -- for five years. The company is reportedly leasing a second showroom in Delhi NCR's Aerocity. Tesla's registered Indian office is located at Tablespace, Panchshil Business Park in Pune, and it has also leased co-working space near BKC in Mumbai. In May, Business Standard reported that Tesla is scouting land in Satara, hometown of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, for a completely knocked down (CKD) electric vehicle assembly unit, according to a senior government official. Tesla's official entry into the Indian market is expected in the final quarter of the current financial year. The Maharashtra government previously offered Tesla industrial land in Chakan and Chikhali near Pune, both key automotive hubs. Chakan hosts several major automakers including Mercedes-Benz, Tata Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra, Volkswagen, and Bajaj Auto.
