Supercar auction sets new records with rare Ferrari and Porsche sales
Explore how a recent auction saw record-breaking sales for rare supercars like the Ferrari Enzo and Porsche 918 Spyder, highlighting the strength of the premium classic car market.
The first evening of the event showcased the most desirable automobiles, including several rare supercars from a private collection that sparked intense bidding wars. Many cars shattered previous auction records, confirming the strength of the premium classic car market.
One of the evening's standout lots was a 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder. This low-mileage, single-owner example sold for $2,975,000, setting a new record.
It was soon followed by a 2017 Ferrari F12tdf with equally impressive results. The car, finished in a bespoke Ferrari Tailor Made specification and having covered less than 160 km, drew bids from several participants and sold for $4,185,000, establishing a new record for the model.
Another highlight was the sale of a 2021 Ferrari Monza SP2. With just 16 miles on the odometer and being the first example of the model offered at auction in North America, it sold for $4,955,000—nearly double the previous record price.
The most anticipated car of the evening was a 2003 Ferrari Enzo. Originally owned and finished in the rare Nero D.S. color, it was delivered to North America in its factory packaging. After a series of rapidly escalating bids, the Enzo sold for $15,185,000, becoming the second most expensive Enzo ever sold at auction.
Record results were also achieved with the sale of a rare 1988 Porsche 959 Sport, one of just 29 lightweight examples built for the American market. Competitive bidding drove the final price to $5,505,000, a new record for the model.
The evening concluded with the sale of a 2005 Porsche Carrera GT finished in the unique Gulf Blue over Ascot Brown color scheme. This low-mileage supercar, offered with no reserve, sold for $6,715,000—more than double the previous auction record for the model.
