You'll find everything from Ralph Lauren's 1-of-1 Giallo Modena Ferrari F50 to Ferrari's very own 'Tailor Made' Daytona SP3.
Every August, the Monterey Peninsula transforms into a playground for car collectors, industry insiders, and motorsport enthusiasts from around the globe. Monterey Car Week has earned its reputation as one of the most prestigious events in the automotive world, with car shows, vintage racing, and high-stakes auctions happening across the coastal towns of Northern California. At the heart of it all is RM Sotheby's, a staple of the week and a longtime auction house known for bringing the rarest and most collectible cars to the block. Past highlights include the $48.4M Ferrari 250 GTO, a $22M Aston Martin DBR1, and the iconic $13.7M McLaren F1 LM-Specification. These headline-making sales set the tone for what continues to be one of the most highly anticipated events on the collector car calendar.
For 2025, RM Sotheby's is back to set the bar for collector car auctions, with over 50 lots already predicting estimates of $1 million or more. The lineup reads like every car lover's dream wishlist, featuring ultra-exclusive Ferrari halo cars, hand-built RUF supercars, vintage racing legends, and modern hypercars that rarely surface for sale. It's more of a curated experience that celebrates the finest in automotive engineering. The RM Sotheby's Monterey 2025 auction is scheduled to take place from Thursday, August 14, through Saturday, August 16, at the Portola Hotel & Spa in downtown Monterey, with preview days beginning earlier in the week. Whether you're a bidder, a window shopper, or just someone who appreciates top-tier car culture, it's the kind of event that makes history.
