A streamlined, silver car made by Ferdinand Porsche for the Nazis remains unsold after a high-profile auction in California went awry.

The Porsche Type 64 car was expected to change hands for more than US$20mil (RM83mil) in Monterey, but the event plunged into chaos when initial bid increments were shown incorrectly on a media screen.
