10 Celebrity, Athlete and Influencer Cars That Surfaced on duPont REGISTRY Live

Limited production, rare specifications, and low mileage tend to dominate the conversation around collector cars, but a notable ownership history can add another dimension entirely to a car’s appeal. With the first anniversary of duPont REGISTRY Live fast approaching, we’re continuing our series looking back at the cars and moments that have defined the platform’s inaugural year. Last week, we counted down the 10 cars that achieved the highest results on dR Live so far. This week, our focus shifts to cars connected to everyone from Grammy-winning musicians and Hollywood A-listers to championship-winning athletes, prominent social media personalities, and some of the automotive world’s most recognizable figures. 10. 1969 Chevrolet Camaro LSX Restomod | Chris Carpenter | $138,075 Kicking things off is a car that looks familiar from a distance but becomes considerably more serious the closer you get. Built for and previously owned by two-time MLB World Series champion and Cy Young Award winner Chris Carpenter, this custom 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible brought in $138,075* during a three-hour duPont Drop Flash Sale. Underneath the classic bodywork sits a supercharged 454-cubic-inch LSX V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission and a Ford 9.0-inch rear end. An Art Morrison G-Max chassis, C5 Corvette front suspension, adjustable coilovers, and Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes further separate it from a standard Gen-1 Camaro. The changes are equally extensive outside, where shaved door handles, RS-style hideaway headlights, custom wheels, and a black power-operated top create a cleaner, more contemporary look. Inside, a fully customized leather cabin features yellow contrast stitching, a Sparco steering wheel, and AutoMeter instrumentation, rounding out this open-top American restomod's specifications. View Result 9. 2024 Mercedes-Maybach S680 | George Strait | $175,875 Taking this list in an entirely different direction is this 2024 Mercedes-Maybach S680, previously owned by Grammy-winning country music icon George Strait. The black-on-black flagship limo with 20-inch forged monobloc wheels brought $175,875* and showed just 4,950 miles when offered. While most of the cars here put the emphasis on outright performance, the Maybach is all about making speed and distance feel effortless. Its 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged V12 under the hood sends power through a nine-speed automatic transmission to all four wheels, but its real appeal lies inside. The Executive Rear Seat Package adds reclining rear seats, while all four seating positions offer heating, ventilation, and massage functionality. Dual rear entertainment displays, heated and chilled cupholders, and a Burmester 4D surround-sound system further elevate the cabin. Despite its understated appearance, this S680 with its plush AIRMATIC suspension represents one of the most luxurious and comprehensively equipped cars on this list. View Result 8. 1968 Ford Mustang “Eleanor” Restomod | Jon Bon Jovi | $195,300 Staying with the musicians but returning to American performance, this 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback previously owned by Jon Bon Jovi brought $195,300*. Finished in Pepper Silver with Le Mans-style black stripes, the car was reimagined as an Eleanor-style restomod inspired by the unmistakable Mustang from the 2000 film Gone in 60 Seconds. Notably, this is not a factory Shelby or licensed continuation model. Instead, it is a custom build featuring the familiar GT500-inspired hood, revised fascias, side-exit exhaust, and other styling elements associated with Eleanor. A 351-cubic-inch Cleveland V8 replaces the original 289 and pairs with a four-speed manual transmission, while Baer four-wheel disc brakes help bring its stopping ability closer to modern standards. The cabin continues the theme with Shelby-branded seating, Simpson racing harnesses and a wood-rim steering wheel. Carroll Shelby’s signature across the dashboard added another notable name to a Mustang already carrying plenty of pop-culture provenance. View Result 7. 1999 Nissan GT-R V-Spec (R34) | Supercar Ron | $288,225 Representing Japan on this otherwise European- and American-heavy list is this 1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec, which brought $288,225*. Previously owned by social media personality and noted collector Supercar Ron, the R34 is finished in arguably the model’s most recognizable color: Midnight Purple. More important than the color, however, was its condition. Showing just 16,864 kilometers, or roughly 10,500 miles, the car remained largely stock and retained its original paint and RB26DETT 2.6-liter twin-turbocharged inline-six. A six-speed manual transmission, ATTESA E-TS all-wheel drive and HICAS four-wheel steering complete the technology-heavy specification that helped turn the R34 into a performance icon. Black NISMO LMGT4 wheels and NISMO side skirts added just enough visual aggression without straying far from the original formula. Combined with its mileage, condition, and documented connection to Supercar Ron, it was an especially compelling example of a car whose following now extends well beyond the traditional Japanese-car community. View Result 6. 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 RS | Bruce Canepa | $366,713 Next up is a Porsche with provenance that will mean something to anyone familiar with the upper end of the collector-car world. Previously owned by renowned Porsche specialist Bruce Canepa, this 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 RS brought $366,713*. Finished in a vibrant orange with 17,351 miles on the odometer when offered, this 997-generation RS pairs a naturally aspirated 3.6-liter Mezger flat-six with a six-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. That is already an enticing formula, but this example goes further. Gold BBS wheels, JRZ suspension and an Akrapovič exhaust sharpen its appearance and performance, while Carrera GT carbon-fiber bucket seats, a MOMO steering wheel and a paint-matched roll cage make the cabin feel even more purposeful. Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes and the Sport Chrono Package are also part of the specification. Two keys, Schroth harnesses, and a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity add documentation to an already notable combination of specialist ownership, analog performance and distinctive presentation. View Result 5. 2003 Lamborghini Murciélago | Nicolas Cage | $379,050 . Bringing Hollywood into our countdown is this analog-era 2003 Lamborghini Murciélago, previously owned by Academy Award-winning actor and longtime car collector Nicolas Cage. Finished in Giallo Orion, this flagship Lambo brought $379,050* and showed just over 44,500 miles when offered. Cage’s ownership is an interesting part of the story, but the specification is arguably just as significant. This particular example is one of roughly 316 first-generation 6.2-liter manual coupes delivered to the United States, pairing its naturally aspirated V12 with a factory six-speed gated manual transmission and all-wheel drive. The Murciélago also received an extensive major service from Lamborghini Las Vegas shortly before appearing on duPont REGISTRY Live. The work reportedly exceeded $63,000 and included a replacement clutch, spark plugs, filters, brake pads, belts, hoses, and various fluid services. An aftermarket Fabspeed exhaust further amplifies the mid-mounted naturally aspirated V12. View Result 4. 2024 Porsche 911 S/T | Adam Levine | $616,350 As the results climb, we return to Porsche with this 2024 911 S/T, previously part of the collection of Grammy-winning musician and Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine. Showing just 253 miles when offered, it brought in $616,350*. Finished in Shore Blue Metallic, the car features the Heritage Design Package, pairing its understated exterior with a Black and Classic Cognac leather interior. Nearly $37,000 in factory options further elevate the specification of this particular example. Created to celebrate the 911’s 60th anniversary, the S/T is limited to 1,963 examples worldwide. It combines the naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six from the GT3 RS with a six-speed manual transmission, rear-wheel drive, and an extensive weight-reduction program. Carbon-fiber body panels, magnesium center-lock wheels, and lightweight glass helped make it the lightest member of the 992-generation family at launch. View Result 3. 2007 Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 | Daily Driven Exotics | $816,900 Breaking into the top three is the second gated-manual Lamborghini on our list, although this one carries a very different ownership story. Previously owned by the team behind Daily Driven Exotics (DDE), this 2007 Lamborghini Murciélago LP640 with 41,577 miles when offered brought $816,900*. The Daily Driven Exotics connection gives this car immediate social media recognition, but its rarity is the larger takeaway. This is one of only 26 factory-gated LP640 coupes delivered to the United States, combining a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 with a six-speed manual transmission and all-wheel drive. Finished in Giallo Orion, it features gloss black Hemera-style wheels, carbon-ceramic brakes, electronically controlled damping and a front-axle lift system. Inside, Nero Perseus and Giallo leather are joined by carbon-fiber trim and an updated Kenwood touchscreen. Following an incident in 2022, the car underwent professional repairs and a complete refinish by Royalty Exotic Cars in Las Vegas. Full paint protection film and an upgraded exhaust complete the specification. View Result 2. 2003 Saleen S7 | Roger Rodas and Always Evolving | $945,000 Sitting one spot below the top of our list is an American supercar with one of the most distinctive silhouettes of its era. This 2003 Saleen S7 showed just 1,910 miles when offered and brought $945,000* following an energetic auction that generated 473 bids. Best known for its tuned Ford Mustangs, Saleen created the S7 as a clean-sheet, mid-engine supercar. Designed by Phil Frank with chassis-development assistance from England’s Ray Mallock Limited, it pairs carbon-fiber bodywork with a chrome-moly steel space frame and extensive functional aerodynamics. A mid-mounted, naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 produces 550 horsepower and sends power to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission. Chassis 03-024 is believed to be the 8th of 22 naturally aspirated S7s produced. Finished in Speedlab Silver, it is also one of only two S7 road cars reportedly built without the polished-wheel upgrade. The car was previously owned by Roger Rodas and formed part of the collection at Always Evolving, the performance shop Rodas operated with the late Paul Walker. Founder Steve Saleen’s signature under the driver-side butterfly door completes an already compelling specification. View Result 1. 2024 Rimac Nevera | Steve Hamilton and The Hamilton Collection | $1,352,400 Topping this list by a considerable margin is the first Rimac ever offered on duPont REGISTRY Live. Originally specified by Steve Hamilton of The Hamilton Collection, this 2024 Nevera brought $1,352,400*. Chassis #69-of-150 is finished in a bespoke purple exterior over black Alcantara with vivid lime-green accents. The dashboard also carries the signature of Rimac founder Mate Rimac, adding a personal detail from one of the most influential figures in the modern performance-car industry. Coming to performance, four electric motors produce a combined 1,914 horsepower and 1,741 pound-feet of torque, helping the Nevera accelerate from zero to 60 mph in a claimed 1.85 seconds. Showing 3,788 miles when offered, the car was accompanied by its battery charger, car cover, owner’s manual, key box, and one key. Between its Hamilton Collection provenance, bespoke specification, and seven-figure result, this all-electric hypercar sits in a different league from the other cars in this countdown.

First Drive: 2027 Range Rover Electric

The Range Rover Electric hasn’t been a secret. Fully unveiled earlier this year and available now to order, the Range Rover Electric’s development was announced years ago. Throughout that time, the manufacturer promised that the electric Range Rover would seamlessly sit alongside the combustion-powered members of the lineup, despite its use of EV technology. Now, the new Range Rover Electric has arrived, and a drive through the Scottish Highlands gave us a chance to get behind the wheel. On paper, the Range Rover Electric is quite similar to the ICE Range Rover we’ve all known and loved: 542 horsepower on tap, a 0-60 time of 4.2 seconds, a host of luxurious features and appointments, and a dual-motor all-wheel drive system that teams up with advanced off-roading systems for highly capable versatility. However, does electric power preserve the ethos of the Range Rover? That is certainly the goal. When we asked Simon Fairbrother, program chief for Range Rover Electric, about what existing Range Rover customers will have to get used to with the new electric variant, he said, “Not a lot. Just not having to go to a gas pump, I guess.” The estimated driving range of the new Range Rover Electric is up to 333 miles, an impressive number for its size and sumptuousness, which not only easily accommodated our lengthy drives through the Highlands, but will certainly also serve the typical Range Rover driver on a daily basis. GALLERY-EMBED In addition to serial Range Rover owners, however, the new Range Rover Electric also has something to offer drivers who have already adopted battery-electric vehicles, giving them a taste of Range Rover luxury that fits right into a lifestyle they’ve already gotten accustomed to. In place of the typical sound of a V8 engine is a beautifully quiet interior, and a chime lets you know that the vehicle has been started or turned off in the absence of an engine. “We wanted to offer everybody a Range Rover that was what they expected,” said Lynfel Owen, Vehicle Engineering Chief Engineer for Range Rover and Range Rover Sport. Beyond the engineering, that goal informed the decision for the Range Rover Electric to look nearly identical to its combustion or hybrid peers. The few differences include a flat grille, as well as “EV” badging on the wheel center caps. The interior is, happily, no different. The steering wheel, seats, instrument displays, and Pivi Pro infotainment system are all laid out in a way that is extremely familiar to a Range Rover driver. Rather than opting for buttons, a dial, or touch controls, the Range Rover Electric keeps a shifter in the center console. For a relatively novice EV driver, this dramatically reduces the learning curve. The “S” selection on the shifter remains, as well, and rather than entering a sequential mode, the “S” instead puts the vehicle in single-pedal driving mode. It takes some getting used to, but the feature offers greater ease in traffic, added regenerative braking, and braking for corners that otherwise requires a bit of effort, what with navigating narrow, winding Highland roads in a large, heavy luxury SUV. Heavy as it may be, however, its 6,195 pounds of weight is not the heaviest in the current Range Rover lineup. GALLERY-EMBED When many BEV manufacturers aim to fill a void left by combustion vehicles by pumping in synthetic engine noise, and incorporating a driving mode that attempts to recreate driving with an engine, the Range Rover Electric is also unapologetic about being an EV, lacking paddles that would have felt gimmicky were they included. The Range Rover Electric takes advantage of electrification's benefits with its engineering, too. Its MLA architecture was built with an EV variant in mind from the outset. Range Rover Product Manager Rachel Hogg commented, “If you have a customer who just loves the look of the Range Rover, we can now offer them a propulsion system that fits their needs.” In addition to that, the lower center of gravity offered by the battery contributes to handling improvements, and the lack of the mechanical components of a combustion powertrain means that switching between off-road driving modes and ride heights is even simpler than before. That simplicity came in handy when we hit the road, leaving Aldourie Castle, which sits near the shores of Loch Ness, and heading north along the west coast of Scotland. The end of our first day of driving brought us to an off-road route, challenging the vehicle with loose, wet rocks along the beach, steep, muddy hills, and a wade that used a good portion of the vehicle’s 35-inch wading depth. Our destination for the night was Hope Lodge, a hunting lodge that dates back to the 19th century. Surrounded by captivating nature, we set off again the next morning to do much of the same. GALLERY-EMBED What the Range Rover Electric demonstrated on our drive was two dramatically different characters. On the road, the vehicle is an incredibly composed and decadently luxurious vehicle. The Meridian Signature audio system was rich and enhanced by the EV’s silence. The suspension graciously absorbed the imperfections of the rural Scottish roads. All 542 horsepower proved to be plenty when it came time to overtake, being delivered quickly but without harshness. All-wheel steering made it effortless to pull into a scenic roadside stop and leave the parking lot just as quickly. However, engage the off-road driving mode, and the Range Rover Electric becomes something much different. The heads-up display goes from displaying convenient navigation graphics and reminding you of the speed limit to showing relevant off-roading information; the cameras on the center screen help you precisely place your wheels in the ruts, and the Intelligent Traction Management comes in to handle the difficult surfaces. The duality is the same as that of the combustion Range Rover, and as an EV, it takes place with even more of a sense of wizardry. Our test vehicle was a Range Rover Electric First Edition, with a Standard Wheelbase. Based on the Autobiography trim, it sits between the Autobiography and the top-of-the-line SV. Our First Edition configuration consisted of a Belgravia Green exterior color and a Light Cloud interior. The perforated Ultrafabrics upholstery was soft to the touch and, paired with Kvadrat fabric accents, made for a beautifully airy cabin. Some other creature comforts in the First Edition include in-cabin fragrance, heated, cooled, and massaging front seats, and just about anything else you’d expect from a well-equipped Range Rover. While the Range Rover Electric will carry a starting MSRP of $138,000 here in the States, the First Edition is a significant jump, starting at $179,150. For that money, you do, however, get a vehicle without many peers. While the luxury SUV market is certainly saturated, as is the arena of electric vehicles, the Range Rover Electric offers EV drivers, or Range Rover fans who want an electric option, an authentic Range Rover, batteries included. Our first drive of the Range Rover Electric showed that even with electric power, the Range Rover Electric manages to deliver the refined luxury, ample power, and formidable all-terrain capability that we’ve come to expect from the cherished luxury SUV brand, along with some new tricks and perks.

Sanlorenzo's All-New 197FT 1150 Explorer Superyacht is Built to Go Further

Building a superyacht from the ground up takes years of planning, engineering, and attention to detail, especially when you're dealing with a name like Sanlorenzo. With decades of history and flagship models, today's superyachts have become much more than a way to explore open waters. They're essentially five-star homes at sea, complete with everything from private spas and swimming pools to entertainment spaces and luxurious amenities. Now, the Italian shipyard is taking things a step further with the new 1150 Explorer, a 197-foot superyacht that becomes the largest model in its exploration-focused fleet. With 12,000 sq ft. of interior space and a range of 4,000 nautical miles, it's designed for longer trips without needing to make frequent stops along the way. For some perspective, that range is enough to cover the distance between New York and the western edge of Europe. The 1150 Explorer also builds on the foundation of earlier models like the 460EXP and 500EXP, bringing more room for guests, crew, and the equipment needed for more time at sea.One of the more interesting parts of the 1150 Explorer is how much of the yacht is dedicated to outdoor living. The lower deck features a 1,500 sq ft. beach club that opens on three sides, turning the back of the yacht into a waterfront lounge. Fold-down terraces, a hydraulic staircase for getting into the water, and a glass-bottom swimming pool above help bring the ocean into the space. GALLERY-EMBED There's also a wellness area with a gym, hammam, and massage room, along with storage and launching facilities for tenders and water toys. The main deck is where much of the socializing happens, with a large lounge, bar, swimming pool, and formal dining room that can seat up to 14 guests. Upstairs, the bridge deck adds another VIP suite and a sky lounge, although the first yacht will have that area configured as a private movie theater. There's even a touch-and-go helipad. GALLERY-EMBED The first 1150 Explorer also has a unique configuration for its owner. Instead of a traditional master suite, Sanlorenzo has designed a 3,200 sq. ft. private duplex apartment spanning the owner's deck and sun deck. The lower level includes a full-beam bedroom, private lounge, walk-in dressing room, and a large bathroom, with floor-to-ceiling windows and panoramic views of the water. A private staircase leads upstairs to another 1,000 sq ft. of outdoor living space, complete with a dining area, lounge, and swimming pool. The pool is built with a single structural glass panel for natural light to pass through into the owner's bedroom below. The rest of the yacht can accommodate up to 12 guests and a crew of 16, with four guest and VIP cabins on the lower deck. Sanlorenzo is currently building the first 1150 Explorer at its facilities in La Spezia, Italy. The yacht has already been allocated to an owner, with delivery expected in early 2027.
