7 Unobtainable Cars Finally Going Under the Hammer

Broad Arrow Auctions, driven by Hagerty, is delighted to reveal final entries for its upcoming Amelia Concours Auction in the form of a private collection of five super and hypercars that were nearly impossible to secure when new.  The private collection will cross the block on the first day of Broad Arrow’s Amelia Concours Auction on Friday, 6 March and is led by a Nero D.S. 2003 Ferrari Enzo alongside a 2021 Ferrari Monza SP2, a 1988 Porsche 959 Sport, a 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder, and a 2017 Ferrari F12tdf. 2003 Ferrari Enzo GALLERY-EMBED Every so often, Ferrari has graced the automotive world with a new ultra-limited creation designed to showcase the latest Formula One technology in a production road car, each representing the state of the art at the time of their release. At the turn of the millennium, the Scuderia Ferrari Formula One Team was in the midst of an unprecedented period of dominance, having won the 1999, 2000, and 2001 Constructors' Championships and the 2000 and 2001 Drivers' Championships. In mid-2002, coinciding with Michael Schumacher's third consecutive Drivers' Championship for the Italian team, Ferrari debuted the Ferrari Enzo at the Paris Motor Show, named after il Commendatore himself and representing the zenith of the brand's technological innovations up to that point. Of the 400 Enzos built, just 111 were delivered to the United States. This impeccable example, chassis 131242, is one of them—made all the more remarkable by its ultra-rare Nero D.S. finish, a color applied to only 11 U.S.-delivered cars and a 12th example bound for Canada. Complemented by a Rosso leather interior, the car left Maranello as a 2003 model-year example per its factory-issued Certificate of Origin.  Of the dozen North American Nero Enzos, chassis 131242 is the lowest mileage of all examples showing less than 450 miles on the odometer. Further still, the car is entirely complete from the day of delivery thanks to devoted care and methodical preservation of its sole owner since new. The trunk retains its tool kit, wheel socket, and tire inflator bags still wrapped in plastic, alongside the original three-piece fitted luggage set with red dust covers. Additionally, the original internal Pre-Delivery Vehicle Checklist from the dealer remains with the car, as does the Certificate of Origin with build photos and a letter addressed to the owner congratulating them on their purchase. Chassis 131242 presents today as one of Ferrari's most compelling hypercar time capsules from the turn of the millennium, preserved exactly as-delivered from the moment it left Maranello. View Listing 2021 Ferrari Monza SP2 GALLERY-EMBED The Monza SP2, along with its sibling the Monza SP1, was unveiled by Ferrari in September 2018. The pilot program of a forthcoming “Icona” series, Ferrari called them “iconic cars whose sophisticated design and engineering are inspired by legendary Ferrari sports cars of the past,” specifically the 1950s. For the SP1 and SP2, the inspiration was quite clearly from the 1948 Ferrari 166MM “barchetta,” the gorgeous 750 Monza and 860 Monza. Based on Maranello's most extreme tourer, the 812 Superfast, the Monza pairs a svelte carbon-fiber barchetta body with the 812's 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12—Ferrari's most powerful naturally aspirated engine at the time of its launch, delivering 798 horsepower and 530 lb-ft of torque for a claimed zero-to-62 mile per hour time of 2.9 seconds. With no windshield to speak of—only Ferrari's ingenious "Virtual Windshield," which channels airflow through the hood and ejects it ahead of the driver—the Monza delivers an elemental, visceral experience that is closer in spirit to the Mille Miglia than to any modern road car. This stunning Monza SP2, chassis 266102, evokes the liveries of Ferrari's most seductive racing barchettas of the 1950s with its quintessential Rosso Corsa finish contrasted by the open cockpit showcasing a pair of GT2 monocoque seats upholstered in Jeans Aunde Blu upholstery. A thoroughly captivating modern interpretation of Ferrari's most romantic chapter, the Monza SP2 is among the most covetable automobiles produced by Maranello in the 21st century—a car reserved exclusively for Ferrari's most cherished clients, of whom fewer than 499 in the world could claim ownership across both SP1 and SP2 variants. That chassis 266102 is offered here from single ownership, with a mere 16 miles recorded and accompanied by its delivery accessories in unused condition, makes this an extraordinary collecting opportunity for Ferraristi. Whether its next custodian chooses to experience it as Ferrari intended, at speed, with the naturally aspirated V12 singing at full cry, or simply to hold it as the collector's piece it was always intended it to be, this SP2 is as pure and unspoiled an example of the Icona series as one could hope to encounter. View Listing 1988 Porsche 959 Sport GALLERY-EMBED Today, the 959's rocky U.S. approval process, the fact it was a technology testbed, and a loss-leader are well known, but at the time the U.S. federalization of the car was intentionally shrouded in mystery. Interestingly, Porsche sent purchase contracts to those in the United States allocated a 959 Sport, offering the car if they were willing to take delivery in Germany. One of those who could not resist finalizing their order for a 959 S was Vasek Polak Jr., with the son of the U.S. Porsche dealer, racer, race team owner, all-around Porsche icon Vasek Polak taking delivery at the factory of chassis number 011 on 15 September 1989. In a 2023 Magneto article Polak Jr. was asked the question-of-all-questions “What were your favorite cars?” To that query a slew of Porsches spills forth yet it is his former 959 Sport where he is the most emotive stating, “Spending many summers driving a 959 S in Europe is the all-time high mark...” A report by Jürgen Barth indicates that Polak Jr. had a partner with the rare Sport model in Larry Vollum who brought the car to the United States with the assistance of Sun International in 1995. Vollum is a well-known detail-obsessed racer, engineer, and collector of interesting and obscure special vehicles and the 959 Sport suits that definition! Later, the car was acquired by noted collector Paige Stevens, also based in the Portland, Oregon area. In 2008 it became a foundational part of a world-famous international Porsche collection focused on important “one off” models. In 2014, the factory Porsche Museum borrowed chassis number 011 from this collector, forming a part of an impressive six-month exhibit of important Porsche cars celebrating 60 years of the company's Supersportwagen. Placed between the extraordinary ex-Herbert von Karajan Sonderwunsch, 1975 Martini-liveried 911 Turbo, and the factory's own 911 GT1 Strassenversion, the 959 S served as the technological and philosophical link between Porsche's early turbocharged road cars and its later Le Mans–derived homologation specials not to mention presenting an awe-inspiring sight. In 2017, the car was offered for public sale and acquired by the consignor, whose eye for high-quality and important sports cars sits among the very best with a flair for design and artistry of particular import. As further confirmation of the brilliance 959 Sport chassis number 011, it retains its tools, jack, and air pump in proper interior leather bags, HEPP medical kit, its serialized owner's manual noting factory delivery and vestiges of its U.S. “Rennen IMSA” specification with a 959 Special Edition Certificate from Al Holbert. It should go without saying that the 959 Sport represents the purest expression of Porsche's ambitions in the 1980s, and chassis number 011 reflects that intent with special clarity. As one of the original eight delivered to PMNA in the United States and later finding its first owner with Vasek Polak Jr., it was chosen by the factory for display at the Porsche Museum and today remains preserved in excellent original condition with just 11,593 miles at the time of cataloging. Offered with exceptional integrity and a number of original delivery items, chassis 011 stands today as one of the most authentic and historically important 959 Sports—an unmistakable reminder of Porsche engineering at its most defiant and uncompromising. View Listing 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder GALLERY-EMBED Arriving contemporaneously with the Ferrari LaFerrari and the McLaren P1, the 918 formed one-third of the so-called “hybrid hypercar trinity.” Each approached electrification differently. Ferrari retained the closest philosophical link to the traditional supercar, pairing a naturally aspirated V12 with an F1-derived KERS system. McLaren and Porsche, by contrast, embraced full plug-in hybrid architecture. In the 918, this meant true operational flexibility: electric propulsion alone, combustion power alone, or a seamless integration of both. At its core lay a motorsport-bred 4.6-liter naturally aspirated V8 derived from the RS Spyder LMP2 program, mounted within a lightweight carbon-fiber monocoque. The engine itself produced 607 horsepower and revved to 9,000 rpm, its character unmistakably racing in origin. Augmenting it were two electric motors—one at each axle—contributing an additional 280 horsepower. The resulting combined output of 887 horsepower and 944 lb-ft of torque endowed the 918 with performance that was not merely competitive but class-leading in outright thrust and tractability. The sophistication of its hybrid system was expressed through five distinct drive modes: E-Power, Hybrid, Sport Hybrid, Race Hybrid, and Hot Lap. In E-Power, the 918 could travel up to 12 miles on electricity alone at speeds approaching 93 mph. At the opposite extreme, Hot Lap mode deployed the entirety of the car's available energy reserves for maximum attack, propelling the 918 from zero to 60 mph in under three seconds and onward to a top speed of 214 mph. Hand-assembled in a strictly limited run of 918 examples, the 918 Spyder stands today as a watershed model, not just for Porsche, but for the entire high-performance sector. It demonstrated, conclusively, that electrification need not dilute driver engagement, but rather, when engineered at the highest level, how it can be amplified. Finished in Rhodium Silver Metallic (S2), this 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder, with limitation number 062, was produced on 29 July 2014 as noted on the VIN Analytics report. Beautifully contrasting the elegant silver exterior is a Garnet Red leather interior with Silver piping. It was optioned with the desirable Front Axle Lift System as well as both the Glare Reducing and Carbon Fiber Interior packages. Offered with just 352 miles at the time of cataloging, this example stands as a true collector-grade motorcar and presents in excellent cosmetic condition. View Listing 2017 Ferrari F12tdf GALLERY-EMBED Unveiled in 2015 and crafted by Ferrari Centro Stile, the F12tdf was situated as the spiritual successor to the 250 GT's race-proven variants. To live up to such heritage demanded equally stellar performance, and the F12tdf delivered in abundance. The F12's 6.3-liter V12 was enhanced to 769 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque, which paired nicely with a sharpened seven-speed dual-clutch transmission offering quicker shifts and heightened overall responsiveness. The F12tdf distinguished itself visually and aerodynamically with extensively reworked bodywork including a revised Aero Bridge, shedding 243 pounds and generating 82 percent more downforce than the standard F12. A wider track, rear-wheel steering, and Extreme Design one-piece brake calipers borrowed from the LaFerrari further padded its track-ready repertoire. This arsenal of improvements allowed the F12tdf to sprint from zero to 62 mph in 2.9 seconds and to a claimed top speed exceeding 211 mph. Recording a lap time of 1 minute 21 seconds on the hallowed proving grounds of Fiorano, the F12tdf was two seconds faster than the standard F12berlinetta and just two heartbeats shy of the LaFerrari. Ferrari produced just 799 F12tdfs to distribute to only their most loyal tifosi, each example highly personalized. This 2017 Ferrari F12tdf is a Tailor Made example finished in Extracampionario (extra-range) Azzurro California, which is beautifully complemented by an extra-range Blu Scozia central stripe flanked by Bianco Avus side stripes. Its vast list of options includes 20-inch Forged Diamond wheels, Suspension Lifter, Sport Exhaust System, and Adaptive Frontlight System. The cockpit is equally as bespoke, covered in extra-range leather upholstery that punctuates its many carbon fiber surfaces. Blu Sterling leather covers its steering wheel, upper dashboard, and Carbon Fiber Racing Seats, thoughtfully contrasted by Bianco special stitching and central seat stripes. This F12tdf is further packed with optional technology including front and rear parking cameras, Passenger Display, navigation, and the High Power Hi-Fi (audio) System. This exclusive Ferrari was delivered new by Ferrari of Long Island to its sole owner in December 2017 as confirmed by its clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report. It has remained in a highly-curated collection of other exclusive exotic cars and has continued to be serviced diligently at the selling dealership. Now offered with less than 100 miles at cataloging, this 2017 Ferrari F12tdf is furnished with owner's pouch with manuals and literature, Certificate for Special Series Cars, toolkit, and two keys. Sporting such limited miles and a full lexicon of desirable options, this 2017 Ferrari F12tdf is without a doubt a standout example even among a diverse roster of specifications. The F12tdf has remained one of the marque's most coveted modern masterpieces, and the rare chance to own one will elevate any highly-curated stable of Prancing Horses. View Listing 2005 Porsche Carrera GT GALLERY-EMBED Just when it seemed that a supercar successor to the 16-year-old, world-beating 959 was less likely than ever with Porsche pulling the plug on its sports racing program in 1999 and reassigning its motorsport engineers to the utilitarian Cayenne, Porsche shocked visitors at the 2000 Paris Auto Show with a concept dubbed the “Carrera GT.” Unbeknownst to Porsche racing fans, the concept's 5.5-liter V10 engine, internally designated “Type 3512,” traced its origins back to the early 1990s when Porsche was an engine supplier in Formula One. As Porsche's halo supercar of the decade, the Carrera GT's options list was minimal. In fact, Porsche's official price list stated that, “In order to minimize the vehicle's weight for possible competition use, the Carrera GT is delivered as standard without air conditioning and without an audio system. However, these items, together with all other personalization features, are available as no-cost options.” The Carrera GT's color palette was equally rigid, with just five basic colors to choose from. Out of 644 cars bound for the North American market, just 19 examples were optioned with a Paint to Sample color, making uniquely specified examples such as this exceedingly rare. This 2005 Porsche Carrera GT, limitation number 0555, is the singular Carrera GT delivered in the United States finished in Paint to Sample Gulf Blue over Ascot Brown leather. The optional light blue color first appeared on Porsche's color charts in 1972 after two consecutive years of dominance by John Wyer's Gulf Oil-sponsored 917s and 908/3s—as well as a silver screen debut resplendent in Gulf Blue at the hands of Steve McQueen in Le Mans. To say the motorsport-derived color is legendary within Porsche circles is an understatement as it is equal parts rare and effortlessly elegant. The original window sticker for Carrera GT number 0555 reveals an additional cost of $15,500 for the Exclusive PTS option, one of just 19 so finished in the U.S. during its three years on offer. This one-of-a-kind Carrera GT is now offered with only 2,807 miles at the time of cataloging and retains numerous delivery items that include its original window sticker, owner's manuals in their pouch, service paperwork, and its desirable complete luggage set in Ascot Brown. This ultra-rare PTS Gulf Blue over Ascot Carrera GT—the only one of its kind delivered to the United States—offers an unmissable opportunity to acquire a one-off specification of one of the most celebrated analog driver's cars of the modern era. View Listing 1990 Ferrari F40 GALLERY-EMBED Unveiled at a ceremony in Maranello on 21 July 1987, the F40 celebrated 40 years of Ferrari car production. Its name, legend has it, was born when Ferrari Managing Director Giovanni Razelli asked motoring journalist and author Gino Rancati what the new car should be called, and received an elegantly direct answer: “Ferrari Quarante.” Yet the F40 didn't start merely as an anniversary badge. Spy photographs had already hinted at a successor to the 288 GTO, and the squat, winged prototype later dubbed the GTO Evoluzione was originally intended as the GTO's competition version. When Group B was cancelled in the wake of tragedy at the Tour de Corse, the Evoluzione's original purpose vanished, but its engineering lessons did not. What remained was an opportunity to build the most uncompromising road-going Ferrari of its era, shaped by turbocharged know-how and buoyed by the unexpected sales success of the 288 GTO. Initially, Ferrari refused to disclose how many F40s would be built and over what period so as to avoid a repeat of the spiraling secondary market of the 288 GTO. Ultimately, 1,311 production examples were built, with a mere 213 F40s destined for the United States. Nearing the middle of F40 production, chassis number 87219 was completed in October 1990 as one of approximately 90 U.S.-market examples built that year. As such, this example notably lacks the adjustable suspension fitted to European-market F40s after serial number 80697, making it a “non-adjust” car highly sought-after for its superior, unfiltered handling. Now offered with just 8,065 miles since new at the time of cataloging—a mere 4 miles since its last major service—this fully matching-numbers, meticulously documented Ferrari F40 is surely among the finest examples of the model currently available and certainly one of the finest U.S.-specification cars extant. Attesting to the car's spectacular presentation and high degree of originality is its participation in the “Ferrari 70th Anniversary Collection: Driven By Emotion” event held in conjunction with the 2017 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, followed by its appearance at the 27th Cavallino Classic where it received a coveted Platinum Award. The enviable originality of this particular example is further supported by the presence of numerous factory accessories, not least of which includes its rare optional three-piece luggage set by Schedoni pyrographed with the car's chassis number “87219” and accompanied by their proper cloth dust covers. The car is also supplied with its original owner's manuals in their leather folio, both tool bags, two sets of keys, its wheel socket, and a binder documenting a life of fastidious maintenance since new. Ferraristi seeking to acquire a cherished and extensively documented example of the legendary F40 will seldom find a better opportunity than chassis 87219.
