There Is a Vending Machine in Singapore That Dispenses Actual Ferraris
Vending machines usually have snacks and small convenience items, so seeing the concept linked to Ferraris changes the scale dramatically. Singapore’s reputation for tight urban planning makes the idea even more noticeable, since space often shapes how businesses display their products.
A multi-story setup showing luxury cars in stacked glass bays has introduced a format that blends mechanical retrieval with premium vehicle sales. The contrast between an everyday selection method and high-value cars is what makes this approach stand out. It looks futuristic.
A Tower Unlike A Usual Dealership
Space constraints in Singapore prompted Autobahn Motors to try a vertical structure instead of a standard car lot. The tower reached fifteen stories and held about sixty vehicles at once, including Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Bentleys, and Porsches.
People could see the cars through the glass façade instead of walking across rows of parked models. A touchscreen at ground level allowed shoppers to choose which car would be brought down for a closer look.
Its lift system delivered the selected vehicle within a couple of minutes. The stacked layout made the building easy to recognize and turned it into a talking point for people passing through the area.
Customers used the touchscreen or a mobile app to request a car and waited while the system positioned it. Staff assisted with details, viewings, and test drives. The inventory included both newer sports cars and classics, such as a 1955 Morgan Plus 4.

High land costs in Singapore influenced the decision to build upward. Storing cars vertically reduced the ground space required to show a large selection. Plus, it helped the dealership stand out among competitors. Developers have expressed interest in adapting similar technology for parking solutions in dense urban areas.
Autobahn Motors reported increased sales after the launch in December 2016. Visitors included buyers and people curious about the structure itself.
Other countries have car vending concepts, including sites in the United States and Japan, but those locations hold fewer vehicles and do not match the height of the Singapore tower. Its scale makes it a reference point when people compare unconventional ways to sell cars.
