McLaren W1 First Drive: Ferocious Hypercar Transcends the Track

You know things are getting serious when McLaren rolls-out the ‘1’ suffix. The origin story is, of course, the very first road car McLaren ever built, the F1. Designed by visionary Formula 1 aerodynamicist and engineer Gordon Murray, it arrived in 1992 and rendered all other supercars obsolete. The tiny, lightweight F1 embraced carbon-fibre material technology, adopted a radical centre seat driving position with two passengers set back and either side and was powered by a 6.1-litre V12 engine from BMW that might as well have been passed down directly from the Gods. Game-changer? That doesn’t even come close to describing its impact, even if at the time sales didn’t come easy… The P1 was very different. Rather than a unique side project from the Formula 1 team, it was instead a statement piece for McLaren Automotive, a new road car division still in its infancy. It arrived in 2013 and was a wild-eyed showstopper. It traded the long-legged gait and supple suspension of the F1 for a weaponized hybrid system capable of delivering 903bhp and huge blue flames from its drainpipe exhaust. In Race mode, it lowered by 2-inches and its massive concave rear wing extended into the sky. The P1 was all about aerodynamic downforce, crazed acceleration and a snorting, angry soundtrack that mixed venomous twin-turbocharged V8 with the manic whirr of electric motors. Not so much a car as a force of nature. And now there’s this: The W1. It’s a true successor to the P1 with a similar brief and, on the face of it, it evolves rather than radically reinvents McLaren’s vision for the ultimate hypercar. This is not a criticism. How could it be when the result is this dramatic and has such staggering, other-worldly potential? The W1 has 1258bhp delivered to the rear wheels. It’s capable of 0-124 mph in 5.8-seconds, the quarter mile in 9.6-seconds at 167 mph and produces 2205lbs of downforce at 174 mph. The active aerodynamics – particularly a rear wing that extends way out beyond the rear of the car – are pure performance art and deliver massive aerodynamic efficiency. The result, aside from looking extremely cool, is that the W1 is McLaren’s fastest road car around a racetrack. Ever. Their benchmark circuit is the breath-taking Handling Track at the Nardo proving ground in southern Italy, where the W1 beats their previous benchmark, the flyweight McLaren Senna, by three seconds per lap. Or “a lifetime” as they call it in racing. Maybe two lifetimes! Core to the W1’s performance is the new ‘Aerocell’ carbon fibre tub. With integrated seats and a raised footwell to allow for inboard pushrod-operated front suspension – which in turn gives air a clean path to the huge underbody diffuser – it’s light, stiff, space efficient and has been instrumental in McLaren realising a full ground-effect concept. Just like last year’s F1 cars, which were the fastest ever made. There is also an active front wing and the aforementioned complex rear wing dubbed ‘Active Long Tail’. All of which is very admirable. But the ‘anhedral’ or gullwing doors and the fantastically shirnked-wrapped feel to the minimalist, highly-focussed interior are a pretty good side effect. The W1 feels special. Those fixed seats are perhaps a shade more upright than expected, and the driving position is less obviously racecar than, for example, the Aston Martin Valhalla or Ferrari F80. However, once you’ve adjusted the pedals (they move on a slider) and the delicate, slim-rimmed and alcantara-trimmed steering wheel, there’s an overwhelming sense of purpose. The cabin is so tightly tailored and imparts a sense of lightness and agility before you so much as start the all-new 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine, which makes 916bhp all on its own and revs to 9200rpm. Reach up to a roof-mounted control panel to find the starter button. Maybe this fighter plane trope is a little corny, but somehow you feel thrilled rather than manipulated. The W1 has a sense of humour as well as all that motorsport-derived sophistication. There’s a short delay, but when the engine does fire it’s instant – as the high-powered hybrid system negates the need for an old-school starter motor. A sharp flare of revs tells you that this engine is hyper-responsive and angry. On some deep level your brain and body have been sent all the signals required to prepare for something new and intense. Ahead of us, an empty Mugello racetrack, so press and hold the blue button next to the red starter to select Race mode. The centre display graphic shows the W1’s transformation in real time as it lowers by 37mm at the front and 17mm at the rear whilst simultaneously undocking all that active aero goodness. Race mode is not road legal and is geo-locked. You can show your friends and neighbours the aero dance, but it won’t allow you to select a gear to actually drive unless you’re at a circuit. Incidentally, the rocker switches either side of the display binnacle allow further options now: Toggle up the Handling control on the left for Race+ (for F1-spec super smooth tracks) or stick to Race for gnarlier ones. On the right toggle select ‘GP’ for sustained performance over a stint or ‘Sprint’ to unleash all 1258bhp for a time attack. There’s also a DRS and Boost function on the steering wheel. But I guarantee you won’t have the mental capacity to use them… Exit the pitlane, pin the throttle and W1 takes maybe a millisecond or two to gather its might (the gearing stretches to around 60mph in first, nearly 100mph in second, primarily to aid traction), but then lunges at the first turn with incredible ferocity. It instantly feels light, almost like inertia is no longer a thing. McLaren really does prize lightweight engineering, and at 3084lbs (dry) the W1 has a 278lbs advantage over the Ferrari F80. Plus, Ferrari uses figures for cars fitted with every single carbon fibre option. In reality, the gap is probably wider still. The impression of agility and stunning control continues as the track is unravelled at startling pace. The electric motor mounted to the side of the new 8-speed dual-clutch transmission is good for 342bhp and 324lb ft and it boosts any low rev lethargy the new flat-plane crank V8 might have (spoiler alert: It doesn’t appear to have any), so the W1 just feels massively, almost impossibly powerful at any revs. Even so, there’s real reward for wringing it out to 9200rpm and the power curve feels superheated but organic, too. In Race mode the steering – still hydraulically powered – has less assistance and it is noticeably heavier than other McLarens. However, that resistance is welcome as it gives you something to push against and imparts so much information about the front grip level. New Pirelli Trofeo RS tyres with a bigger front footprint than P1 or Senna really help. The front-end feels incredibly secure and the rear-axle follows with perfectly-aligned precision. The whole car feels super-stiff, completely locked into the surface and inspires confidence, but there’s an inherent agility and adjustability that means you’re quickly confident to push at its limits and really impose yourself on the chassis. It’s such a complex car but the driving experience is intuitive, and the driver feels a key contributor rather than just amazed (or terrified) observer, holding on for dear life. Every dynamic ingredient really is shockingly effective and yet has a subtlety and lightness of touch. From that delicious steering to the incredible brakes, the W1 just feels so mission-focussed, so hooked-up. Only the new 8-speed gearbox is a slightly disappointment. It’s fast and punchy, but after the scintillating energy of the Ferrari F80 ’box it feels competent rather than inspired. Other quibbles – it’s okay to quibble when the starting price is $2.1-million before tax and destination charge. Well, that new twin-turbocharged V8 sounds tightly wound and aggressive but if you have a P1 tucked in the garage you’ll miss the snorting, Darth Vader-style soundscape and all the drama that goes with it. Ferrari does this better, too. The F80 sounds deathly dull from the outside but is a riot of turbochargers, electric motors and all sorts of mechanical fury within the cockpit. Even so, the W1 is wildly entertaining on track, and the rear-drive configuration makes it more of a challenge and more satisfying than the F80 when chasing lap times or just sliding around for fun. In the Ferrari, you must second-guess what the front e-axle might do, whereas in the W1 it’s all on you. There are plenty of tools to help, including the ingenious Variable Drift Control, but somehow the W1 is more heroic. Or at least fools you into feeling more heroic – which is surely the point! On the road? Nimble, loaded with feel and sublime response. The ride is noticeably tougher than, say, a 750S but the control is ramped-up too, and with a bit more speed the whole car finds a delicious rhythm. Sport mode for the drivetrain brings some nice turbo whooshes and chirps, but the noise remains high-quality rather than extreme excitement. It is perhaps the one area the W1 feels just a little too tame. Of course, there’s nothing tame about the raw performance… which is genuinely shocking and literally hurts your neck muscles after a few hours. How McLaren has given the W1 such immense traction through just two driven wheels is beyond me. So, is it worthy of that ‘1’? I think so. Perhaps we won’t be talking about $25-million auction results for the W1 in 30 years from now, as we are for the F1. Perhaps it doesn’t quite have the amazing presence and jaw-dropping star quality of the simply gorgeous P1. But it is such an intense experience and the way it marries stunning track performance with delicate poise and entertainment on normal roads is something akin to magic. Maybe not ‘the one’ but definitely a searing, outrageous addition to McLaren’s fiercest family line. Just 399 W1’s will be built and they’re all sold. I’m not surprised at all.

Six Ferraris From the Rosso Eterno Collection Up for Auction on duPont REGISTRY Live

Following recent consignments from the prestigious SFX Collection and Hale Collection, another exclusive collection joins the docket this week on duPont REGISTRY Live, this time devoted entirely to Maranello. The Rosso Eterno Collection brings six Ferraris spanning 14 years of the Italian marque’s modern history, featuring both front-engine and mid-engine models. The group stretches from naturally aspirated V12 grand tourers to Ferrari’s final naturally aspirated mid-engine V8 generation, before moving into the marque’s modern turbocharged era. 2009 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano Perhaps the most visually striking one in this group is this V12-powered 2009 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, finished in Giallo Modena over Black leather and showing just 4,700 miles. The color is of particular significance for Ferrari as Yellow is closely tied to Enzo Ferrari's hometown of Modena and has formed the background of the Prancing Horse badge since its earliest use. Ferrari itself refers to yellow as the marque's second color, behind its famous racing red. Giallo Modena is also uncommon on the Pininfarina-styled 599, with members on FerrariChat citing anywhere between 60-75 examples or about 3% of the 3,500 to 3,600 GTBs produced worldwide. Under the hood sits the Enzo-derived 6.0-liter F140 V12 that puts out 620 horsepower, paired here with the six-speed F1 transaxle, with power going exclusively to the rear wheels. 20-inch 14-spoke Challenge-style wheels, carbon-ceramic brakes, full-body PPF, a black leather interior featuring powered Recaro seats with Daytona-style inserts, and extensive use of carbon fiber further distinguish this low-mileage example. View Live Listing 2010 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano HGTE The second of the two 599s takes a more focused approach. Finished in Grigio Silverstone over Black leather and Alcantara, this 2010 example with just over 6,500 miles was from the factory with Ferrari's Handling Gran Turismo Evoluzione Package, an important distinction because Ferrari subsequently made HGTE upgrades available to existing 599 owners through authorized dealers. The package lowers the ride height by approximately 10 mm or 0.4 inches, while adding stiffer springs, a thicker rear anti-roll bar, and revised suspension and transmission software, sharpening the standard 599 without sacrificing its grand-touring character. This particular car also features 19-inch and 20-inch forged multi-piece wheels, contrasting yellow brake calipers, and carbon-ceramic brakes, carbon-fiber bucket seats with HGTE embroidery, yellow contrast stitching, and premium Bose HiFi audio. It remains unmodified and is accompanied by two keys, its VIP book, laminated window sticker, owner's manuals, and car cover. View Live Listing 2011 Ferrari 458 The first of three 458s on offer, this 2011 example is finished in a stealthy Nero Daytona over a Black leather interior with Red stitching, and 21,183 miles on the odometer. The car takes a particularly understated approach to Maranello’s naturally aspirated mid-engine V8 formula with its 4.5-liter V8 that produces 562 horsepower and drives the rear wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch transaxle. The specification is especially appealing, combining Scuderia Ferrari shields, carbon-ceramic brakes, and 20-inch five-spoke alloy wheels with contrasting red brake calipers. Interior highlights include Daytona-style seats with a carbon-fiber central bridge and dashboard inserts, a yellow tachometer in the instrument cluster, and premium JBL audio. A parking camera and front-axle lift further improve usability, and the sale is accompanied by two keys, the original window sticker, and a car cover. View Live Listing 2012 Ferrari 458 A year newer, this 2012 458 Italia takes a more traditional visual approach, pairing Rosso Corsa with Beige leather and 27,274 miles on the odometer. The 458 occupies an increasingly important place in Ferrari's modern lineage as the final series-production mid-engine V8 generation to remain naturally aspirated before the turbocharged 488 came along. Its timeless Pininfarina styling and classic Ferrari color combination, along with five-spoke alloy wheels finished in silver, are complemented by an Alcantara headliner and extensive carbon fiber, including the LED-equipped steering wheel, central bridge, and door sills. This example also carries several enthusiast-focused modifications. Novitec lowering springs lower the stance, while an aftermarket exhaust amplifies the character of the naturally aspirated 4.5-liter V8. Included with the sale are one key, the original window sticker, owner’s manuals, a car cover, stock catalytic converters and mufflers, plus spare exhaust tips. View Live Listing 2013 Ferrari 458 Spider Onto our final 458 and the only open-top variant of the trio. This 2013 Spider is finished in Rosso Corsa over a black leather and Alcantara interior with red contrast stitching and 17,260 miles on the clock. The Spider seen here also represents an important technological first. According to Ferrari, the 458 Spider was the world's first mid-rear-engine production car with a retractable hardtop, combining open-air driving with the proportions and structural approach of the 458 platform. This example is especially extensively specified, with nearly $50,000 in factory options. Highlights include a carbon fiber hood, front winglets, side skirts, mirrors, door handles, fuel door, rear bumper, and numerous interior components. 20-inch OZ diamond-cut Grigio Corsa wheels sit over yellow brake calipers, while full-body paint protection film helps preserve the Rosso Corsa finish. Inside, carbon-fiber bucket seats with Tricolore stripes are paired with a carbon-fiber steering wheel featuring matching Tricolore stitching, carbon-fiber paddle shifters, and a yellow central tachometer. The sale also includes two keys, two spare OEM wheels, spare OEM Speciale carbon-fiber diffuser tips, a toolkit, a car cover, and a battery charger. View Live Listing 2023 Ferrari Roma At the newest end of the collection sits this 2023 Ferrari Roma, finished in Grigio Silverstone over Black leather with Giallo accents and contrasting stitching, with 13774 on the odometer. The Roma represents a very different interpretation of the Ferrari grand tourer, positioned around its "La Nuova Dolce Vita" philosophy, drawing inspiration from the elegant front-engine GTs of the 1950s and 1960s. Its mid-front-mounted 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 produces 612 horsepower, driving the rear wheels through an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission derived from the architecture introduced with the SF90 Stradale. The particular car’s understated exterior paint is complemented by 20-inch silver forged wheels, yellow brake calipers, Scuderia Ferrari fender shields, and black tailpipe tips, along with full-body paint protection film.. Inside, power-adjustable bucket seats feature embroidered Cavallino headrests, joined by Giallo accents and stitching, a high-power HiFi system, smartphone integration, wireless charging, and folding rear seats. An advanced front driving camera adds further usability, with the sale including two keys, a car cover, and a battery charger.

Porsche Carrera GT Surpasses $4 Million as Four V12 Lamborghinis Hit the Block on duPont REGISTRY Live

Another action-packed week unfolded on duPont REGISTRY Live, with hypercars, top-tier exotics and classics crossing the digital auction block. Three results surpassed seven figures, led by a single-owner Porsche Carrera GT in Guards Red, which achieved $4,015,200. Four mid-engined Ferrari results represented different chapters of Maranello’s modern history, while the final Hale Collection entries closed out the 10-car consignment. Looking ahead, we have an equally exciting lineup of cars for the coming week, led by not one, but four modern V12 Lamborghinis, including one that has three pedals and Rear Wheel Drive. Lots Closed: Highlights Fourteen cars closed this past week on duPont REGISTRY Live, led by a single-owner, U.S.-market 2005 Porsche Carrera GT. Finished in Guards Red over a black leather interior with roughly 5,600 miles, brought $4,015,200*. A Porsche halo car through and through, the Carrera GT already makes a compelling case as the definitive analog supercar of the 2000s. Its appeal today all comes down to the driving experience. A motorsport-bred V10 that produces a phenomenal soundtrack, and crucially, a six-speed manual transmission, all with relatively little electronic intervention. This particular example added the provenance, specification and completeness that separate an exceptional car from a merely good one. Color was also a key part of this car’s appeal. Guards Red is one of Porsche’s most recognizable shades, yet it is believed to appear on only about 80 Carrera GTs worldwide, including 42 delivered to the United States, with the overall production run of just 1,270 units globally. Inside, the less common carbon-fiber shift knob replaces the familiar 917-inspired beechwood piece fitted to most examples. Graham Rahal Performance completed comprehensive servicing and outstanding recall work before the auction, while two keys, fitted luggage and owner’s books accompanied the car. This result also finished just 0.5 percent above the car’s $3,996,662 vehicle-specific duPont REGISTRY Index (dRi) value. It is especially striking against the Carrera GT’s original MSRP of $448,000: the closing figure was nearly nine times that amount, all when CGTs could still be acquired for $2 million or less as recently as 2024. Much like its contemporary, the Ferrari Enzo, the Carrera GT too has steadily moved far beyond its original price as collectors increasingly favor low-production, analog-era halo cars. The model’s public-auction record belongs to a Gulf Blue example that reached $6,715,000 at Amelia Island earlier this year. This Guards Red car now ranks third among recorded public-auction results for the model. For a closer look at the Carrera GT’s rise, read our in-depth market spotlight. The CGT result completes the three-car spotlight that also featured the MSO McLaren Senna and Ferrari F12tdf Atelier. Following the Senna’s appearance in last week’s recap, the 1,600-mile 2017 F12tdf reached $3,596,250*, one of the highest results achieved for the model. Its Atelier specification pairs Bianco Avus paint with an extended Blu Nart livery, while members of Ferrari’s assembly team signed the engine cover. A 2024 Rimac Nevera made the Croatian marque’s dR Live debut with a $1,352,400* result. Finished in a bespoke purple exterior over a black Alcantara interior with lime green accents, this car is #69 of 150 planned examples with 3,788 miles. The all-electric hypercar’s quad-motor powertrain produces 1,914 horsepower and launches the Nevera from zero to 60 mph in 1.8 seconds. Originally specified by Steve Hamilton of the Hamilton Collection, this car also features founder Mate Rimac’s signature across the dashboard. Besides the F12 TDF, four mid-engined Ferraris also went under the hammer on dR Live. A 2004 Rosso Scuderia 360 Challenge Stradale with full-body PPF brought $625,800*, a 2008 430 Scuderia Nero example followed at $598,500*, continuing the recent flow of lightweight, mid-engined Ferraris that have surfaced on the platform. A 2005 F430 Spider hit $233,100*, while a gated-manual 1990 348 TS Targa fetched $149,100*. Color, transmission, and mileage remain some of the key value drivers for modern mid-engine Ferraris. Two modern GM manuals also closed with a single-owner, 2,800-mile 2009 C6 Corvette ZR1 reaching $130,725*, while a six-speed 2026 CT5-V Blackwing fetched $159,075*. Together, they represent the ultimate performance model of the C6 generation and one of the final V8-powered sedans to pack a manual transmission. The final 10-Car Hale Collection entries included the twin-Paxton-supercharged 1966 Shelby GT350 at $315,000*. It ranked third within the collection behind the Ford GT at $672,000* and a Dodge Viper ACR Extreme at $449,400*. The remaining Hale Collection results included the 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air at $75,075*, and the 1978 Triumph Spitfire at $17,325*. Rounding out the highlights are a 997 2008 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet at $109,725*, and a 2020 Mercedes-AMG E 63 S Wagon at $74,550*. Upcoming Lots: Highlights <- Gallery -> 10 cars are currently open for bidding, with Italian exotics dominating the docket. Four naturally aspirated modern V12 Lamborghinis lead the lineup, including three that we spotlighted earlier this week, while an Aventador SVJ Roadster has since joined. A 2015 Lamborghini Aventador, finished in Giallo Tenerife and with roughly 9,000 miles, is currently bid to $290,000 with three days remaining, while a 2006 Lamborghini Murciélago in Giallo Orion is at $232,000 with three days to go as well. This example has been converted to rear-wheel drive and fitted with an EAG gated manual, giving it a distinctly more mechanical character. The open-top entries include a 2008 Lamborghini Murciélago LP 640 Roadster in Balloon White, currently at $41,000 with five days remaining, while a 2020 Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Roadster finished in Ad Personam Viola Pasifae is currently bid to $253,500 with six days remaining. It represents the most focused expression of the Aventador among this week’s four Lamborghini consignments. Ferrari is represented this week by three very different naturally aspirated cars. A 2003 Ferrari 360 Spider with a factory gated manual and Daytona seats is at $133,333 with three days remaining. A 2007 Ferrari 599 GTB with the HGTE package and about 12,500 miles is at $105,000, while a 2013 Ferrari 458 Italia in Argento Nürburgring, currently at $80,500, with both having five days to go. Onto German heavyweights and a 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG in AMG Alubeam Silver, with just 196 miles, is bid to $310,000 with three days remaining. With its naturally aspirated V8, long-hood proportions, and dramatic gullwing doors, the SLS offers collectors a more attainable modern connection to the iconic 300 SL lineage. Also open is an Oak Green Metallic 992.2 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S with lightweight seats and Porsche’s new T-Hybrid powertrain, now bid to $51,500 with five days remaining. Finally, a late addition and outlier to the docket is an enthusiast favorite with rally pedigree: a 2015 Subaru WRX STI with the legendary boxer engine paired with a six-speed manual. This example is one of 25 ESX Red Dragon Editions produced.

Three V12 Lamborghinis Hit The Digital Auction Block on duPont REGISTRY Live

Interest in analog-era V12 Lamborghinis continues to run strong on the collector-car market, with that enthusiasm increasingly extending to early Aventadors. For the first time on duPont REGISTRY Live, three V12 Lamborghinis are simultaneously open for bidding. Spanning nearly a decade, the trio of Raging Bulls was hand-built in Sant’Agata Bolognese, at the heart of Italy’s Motor Valley, and brings together many of the signatures that defined Lamborghini’s flagship models for generations: dramatic wedge-shaped styling, scissor doors, a naturally aspirated twelve-cylinder engine mounted behind the cabin, complete with the unmistakable soundtrack that comes with them. One of them also offers something considerably harder to find today: a three-pedal, open-gate driving experience. 2006 Lamborghini Murciélago The first of the three cars is this 2006 Murciélago, finished in Giallo Orion over black leather with 14,314 miles on the clock. With clean lines penned by Luc Donckerwolke, it packs a 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V12 that produces 580 horsepower. This example features an EAG conversion that replaces the original E-Gear arrangement with a gated six-speed manual and ditches the all-wheel-drive system for rear-wheel drive. This is the quintessential format (V12 RWD Manual) that traces back six decades, all the way to the now iconic Miura. With factory gated-manual Murciélagos becoming increasingly desirable and seldom appearing at auction, converted examples such as this one offer much of the tactile, three-pedal experience behind the wheel. This car is also believed to be the only known 2006 Murciélago finished in Giallo Orion with carbon-ceramic brakes. Other highlights include 18-inch black Hercules alloy wheels, silver brake calipers, deployable rear air intakes, a glass engine cover, carbon-fiber interior appointments, a FabSpeed exhaust, and full-body paint protection film. View Live Listing 2008 Lamborghini Murciélago LP-640 Roadster The second Murciélago takes the same V12 formula open-air. Finished in Balloon White over a custom Blue and Black Alcantara interior, this 2008 LP640 Roadster shows 18,161 miles and pairs Lamborghini’s uprated 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 with a six-speed E-Gear automated transaxle and all-wheel drive. Output rose to 631 horsepower for the LP640 generation. The removable soft top brings the V12 soundtrack even closer, with an SRM AutoSports X-Pipe exhaust adding further theater. Other highlights include silver 18-inch Hemera wheels, white brake calipers, deployable rear intakes, a custom interior with blue and black Alcantara upholstery and carbon-fiber trim. It is believed that just over 220 Murciélago LP-640 Roadsters were delivered to the United States, making this open-top flagship a comparatively uncommon sight. View Live Listing 2015 Lamborghini Aventador Completing the trio is this 2015 Aventador finished in Ad Personam Giallo Tenerife over black leather and Alcantara. Showing just 9,092 miles, it represents the next chapter of Lamborghini’s V12 flagship lineage, introducing a carbon-fiber monocoque and an all-new 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12. In LP700-4 specification, it puts out 691 horsepower, routed to all four wheels through a seven-speed ISR automated transaxle. This particular example includes 20-inch and 21-inch Dione wheels, black brake calipers, a transparent engine cover, and front-axle lift. This car’s Giallo Tenerife Ad Personam finish gives it an especially distinctive specification within that year’s production.

Two Hypercar Heavyweights Making Their Brand Debuts on duPont REGISTRY Live

Since coming online nearly a year ago, duPont REGISTRY Live has hosted a diverse range of consignments, ranging from vintage automobiles and modern exotics that have produced multiple record-setting results, while establishing a presence within the increasingly competitive digital online auction space. Now, two of the most prestigious names in the hypercar world are joining the docket for the first time, with Rimac and Koenigsegg making their respective brand and model debuts on the platform, with two very different approaches to electrified performance. 2024 Rimac Nevera The first of the two limited-run hypercars and currently open for bidding is this 2024 Rimac Nevera, #69 of just 150 examples planned for production. Finished in bespoke purple over a black Alcantara interior with lime green accents, the car was originally specified by Steve Hamilton of The Hamilton Collection and shows 3,788 miles at the time of documentation. Its provenance is complemented by another distinctive detail inside, where the dashboard carries the signature of founder Mate Rimac, now CEO of Bugatti Rimac. The Nevera established Rimac at the forefront of electric hypercar performance, combining four electric motors with individual wheel control and a structurally integrated 120-kWh battery. Combined output stands at 1,914 horsepower and 1,741 pound-feet of torque, while Rimac claims 0-60 mph in 1.85 seconds. The Nevera has also recorded a 258-mph top speed and set 23 acceleration and braking records. Click the link below to view the complete listing and place your bids. View Live Listing Coming Soon: 2019 Koenigsegg Regera Next comes another platform first, with this 2019 Koenigsegg Regera set to become the first Koenigsegg to be offered on duPont REGISTRY Live. Dubbed “Elegua,” this U.S.-specification Regera wears a one-of-one One Shade Darker Candy Apple Red finish combining tinted and exposed carbon/Kevlar, along with Tresex AirCore carbon-fiber wheels and a bespoke Lingonberry Red and black interior. Its specification becomes even more notable as it is reportedly 1-of-5 Regeras equipped with both the $285,000 Ghost Package and $250,000 Environmental Power Upgrade. In total, it carries more than $1 million in documented factory options and extras. 1-of-80 Regeras produced worldwide, the 1,757-horsepower hybrid hypercar uses a 5.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 and three electric motors, and the Regera recorded a 28.81-second 0-400-0-km/h run (248.55) in 2023. This example shows approximately 3,100 miles at the time of documentation. Full auction details and bidding information will follow when the Regera goes live. Watch this space.

Ferrari 430 Scuderia 16M Result Nears Seven Figures as Carrera GT and Senna Lead the Week Ahead on duPont REGISTRY Live

Eight cars closed this week on duPont REGISTRY Live, including two Flash Sales and three lots clearing the $600,000 mark. Four Ferraris and three Porsches accounted for the results, led by a Rosso Corsa 430 Scuderia 16M Spider that set the highest result for any variant of the Scuderia family on the platform. Looking ahead, the current 19-car docket brings an unusually broad mix of modern exotics, analog-era favorites, and the highest concentration of classic cars ever offered simultaneously, all hailing from a single collection. Lots Closed: Highlights A Rosso Corsa 2009 Ferrari 430 Scuderia Spider 16M, 1-of-499 built to mark Ferrari's 16th Formula 1 Constructors' Championship, hammered at $983,850 including buyer’s premium, setting the second-highest result for any 430 Scuderia variant on the platform across both the coupe and open-top configurations. It also surpassed last week’s Bianco Avus 16M coupe result of $742,350*, and came close to the highest 16M result on dR Live, a 2009 Classiche-certified example which achieved $994,350* in August. The model's current dRi sits at $770,000, placing the result approximately 27.77% above that benchmark. Against an original window sticker of $321,116, the result represents a 206% increase from new. The public auction record for the 16M remains approximately $1.9 million from the Bachman Collection at Mecum Kissimmee in January 2026. Beyond the 16M's rarity, the 430 family's reputation as one of the more approachable analog-era Ferraris may be contributing to the upward pressure on values, with an increasing number of examples now approaching seven figures. Factory manual-equipped 430s are the scarcest configuration within the range and draw the sharpest premiums. The standard 2005 Ferrari F430 in Giallo Modena, a color that typically carries a premium, hammered at $200,550* with 11,000 miles. That places the two cars about $780,000 apart and highlights two very different price tiers within the 430 market. A 2022 Ferrari F8 Spider in highly original Rosso Fiorano with under 4,000 miles hammered at $610,050*, toward the upper end of where recent transactions have closed for the model and not too far away from the model's current dRi of $649,895. The car carries a window sticker of $413,105, placing the result 47.67% above the original price. The F8 Spider is the final series-production mid-engine Ferrari powered solely by a non-hybrid internal combustion engine, and the open-top configuration combined with limited US allocation narrows the available supply further. That positioning is increasingly relevant as collectors draw a sharper line between the final non-hybrid models and what followed. Rounding out the Ferrari highlights, a 2013 Ferrari F12berlinetta in Bianco Avus with the naturally aspirated 6.3-liter V12 hammered at $392,700*. On the Porsche side, a 2018 GT2 RS Weissach with Magnesium Wheels hammered at $623,450*, representing a steady flow of 991.2 examples to appear on the platform. The 992 generation has yet to deliver its range-topping 911, and prior generations of this turbocharged, rear-wheel-drive flagship continue to attract consistent attention as a result. This extensively equipped example with the Weissach package was no exception. A 2003 Porsche 996 Turbo with 3,235 miles and exclusive options hammered at $155,925*, over 60k above the Slicktop six-speed manual 996 Turbo result from last week. Two dR Drop Flash Sales round out the highlights. A 2020 Porsche 992.1 911 Carrera 4S hammered at $113,492 earlier today, while a 2026 Lexus GX 550 Premium+ hammered at $80,325 as part of our two-hour flash sale. Upcoming Lots: Highlights <- Gallery -> The three hypercars we spotlighted in our limited-run supercars preview are now all live, and the current docket is led by a Guards Red 2005 Porsche Carrera GT from a single owner with 5,600 miles, and believed to be one of only 42 delivered to the United States, is bidding at $2,617,000 with 9 days remaining. A 2019 McLaren Senna in Factory MSO Blue Carbon with 826 miles sits at $2,250,555 with just two days remaining, while the Bianco Avus 2017 Ferrari F12 TDF Atelier with roughly 1,600 miles was just listed and is already bid to $1,000,000 with 12 days remaining. Staying with modern exotics, a 2024 Porsche 992 GT3 RS Weissach in Paint to Sample Bahama Yellow with 91 miles is bidding at $487,286 with 5 days remaining. PTS Bahama Yellow on a Weissach GT3 RS at delivery mileage is not a combination that reaches the open market often. The current docket also carries one of the highest concentrations of classic and vintage cars offered simultaneously on the platform. A 1931 Ford Model A Five Window Coupe marks the platform's foray into pre-war vintage automobiles, while a C2 1966 Chevrolet Corvette frame-off restoration, a 1967 Sunbeam Tiger with a Dart 347 V8, and a 1979 Porsche 911 SC in Mocha Brown extend the classic footprint further. Two enthusiast-spec BMWs from different decades add further breadth, with a 1987 BMW M6 and a 1997 BMW M3 Sedan both currently in the docket. Analog staples continue alongside the classics. Two Ferrari 430 Scuderias a 2009 Rossa Corsa example and a 2008 Nero car, are currently open for bidding, alongside a 2006 Ford GT from the Hale Collection with a single owner and 3,900 miles at $538,000 with 5 days remaining, a 2017 Dodge Viper ACR Extreme with just 1,368 milrs from the same collection at $356,000 with 3 days remaining, and a 2004 Porsche 997 911 Turbo Cabriolet also in the current docket. A 1990 Ferrari 348 TS Targa with factory gated manual, a model that recently featured on our guide to Ferrari's mid-engine evolution, rounds out the highlights for the coming week.

Three Limited-Run Supercars to Watch on duPont REGISTRY Live

Three modern collector cars from McLaren, Porsche, and Ferrari are converging on duPont REGISTRY Live. The first is already open for bidding, while the remaining two will join the platform soon. Together, the trio seen here brings three very different approaches to limited-production performance, spanning McLaren's track-focused Ultimate Series, Porsche's analog V10 flagship, and Ferrari's front-engine V12 lineage. 2019 McLaren Senna MSO Currently bid to $2.125 million, this 2019 McLaren Senna is #347 of 500 units produced worldwide. Hand-built at the McLaren Production Centre in Woking, England, and named in honor of three-time Formula 1 World Champion Ayrton Senna, this example shows just 826 miles from new and was originally specified with approximately $170,000 in bespoke McLaren Special Operations equipment. This car's specification combines MSO Blue exposed carbon fiber with contrasting silver-painted bodywork, creating an unusual appearance even within this track-focused model's limited production run. The cabin continues that theme with gray Alcantara upholstery and contrasting McLaren Orange accents throughout the interior. Power comes from McLaren's twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8, which produces 789 horsepower in the Senna. Extensive carbon-fiber construction and an aerodynamics-focused design helped make it one of McLaren's most uncompromising street-legal models. Click the link below to view the complete listing and place your bids. View Live Listing Coming Soon: 2005 Porsche Carrera GT Next, we have this 2005 Porsche Carrera GT finished in Guards Red over a Dark Grey leather interior. Showing just 5,571 miles from new, this example also carries single-owner history, giving the upcoming listing an appealing combination of low mileage and long-term provenance. Guards Red remains a less commonly encountered factory color on the Porsche halo car, giving this example additional visual distinction. It is believed to be one of just 80 examples produced in this color worldwide, with only 42 delivered to the United States. Its naturally aspirated 5.7-liter V10 produces 603 horsepower and sends power through a six-speed manual transmission. Along with the evocative soundtrack from its race-bred V10, a carbon-fiber monocoque, manual gearbox, and relatively limited electronic assistance, the Carrera GT remains one of the defining analog supercars of the 2000s. Full auction details and bidding information will follow when this Carrera GT goes live. Coming Soon: 2017 Ferrari F12tdf Atelier Also coming soon to the docket is this 2017 Ferrari F12tdf showing just 1,595 miles from new. Finished in Bianco Avus with an extended Blu Nart livery, the car was extensively configured through Ferrari's Atelier personalization program. Inside, Blu Sterling leather continues the personalized specification, while another unusual detail appears beneath the hood. Members of Ferrari's assembly-line team signed the engine cover during production, adding an uncommon factory-related element to the car. Ferrari produced 799 examples of the F12tdf worldwide, and this car is one of 299 for the United States. Its naturally aspirated 6.3-liter V12 produces 769 horsepower, while Ferrari's Virtual Short Wheelbase rear-steering system sharpens the chassis compared with the standard F12berlinetta. Complete auction details will follow when this F12tdf joins the docket soon on duPont REGISTRY Live. Watch this space. If you're interested in financing these cars or any other exotic car, be sure to get pre-qualified.

Italian Exotics Take Center Stage as a Ferrari 430 Scuderia Leads the Week on duPont REGISTRY Live

11 cars closed this past week on duPont REGISTRY Live, extending a September run that continues adding useful market data across several collector segments. Ferrari dominated the closed docket, led by a Bianco Avus 430 Scuderia and a one-hour dR Drop F8 Spider that established a new platform high for the model. Repeat Ferrari, Porsche, Viper, and Corvette consignments continue to give us closer comparisons between specifications, mileage, and individual auction results across the platform. A McLaren Senna now leads the open docket as September moves toward its final week. Lots Closed: Highlights Five Italian exotics closed this past week on duPont REGISTRY Live, with two finishing above $500,000 while convertibles remained unusually prominent as summer draws to a close, accounting for five of the aforementioned 11 completed lots. Leading the results was a 2009 Ferrari 430 Scuderia finished in Bianco Avus and was accompanied by a VIP Book hammered for $742,350* including buyer’s premium, making it the second-highest Scuderia coupe result recorded on dR Live. Against an original U.S. base MSRP of approximately $286,000, the all-in result represents roughly 160 percent above that figure. Staying with mid-engine Ferraris, a 2022 Ferrari F8 Spider offered through a one-hour dR Drop Flash Sale hammered for $601,650*. The result establishes a new dR Live high for the F8 Spider and adds another useful reference for the platform's compressed auction format. A 2018 Ferrari 488 Spider in Avorio Historical paint with 2,440 miles hammered for $421,050*, with the car’s unusual factory paint and low mileage providing more useful context for this transaction. A 2010 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano with the factory HGTE package and 8,867 miles hammered for $410,550*, setting a new auction record for the standard 599 with the F1 transmission. Ferrari charged approximately $30,095 for the Handling Gran Turismo Evoluzione, or HGTE, package when new, bringing the final retail price of the particular example, including options, to $363,441. The all-in result therefore sits approximately 15 percent above that figure, adding another useful reference for genuine factory-HGTE cars. A 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 with 403 miles, a seven-speed manual, ZTK package, and 3ZR equipment group hammered for $284,025*. Chevrolet priced the ZR1 from $122,095 for 2019, while 3ZR and ZTK brought a comparable factory specification to at least approximately $135,000 before options. The all-in result therefore represents roughly 10 percent above it, with the mileage and specification placing this car within a particularly narrow subset of the C7 ZR1 market. Other highlights included an unmodified 2020 Nissan GT-R 50th Anniversary Edition which hammered for $155,925*, adding another useful reference for the R35 as collector interest continues to grow, a V10-powered 2020 Audi R8 Spyder in Kemora Gray which hammered for $142,275* ans a 2001 Porsche 911 Turbo with a six-speed manual and desirable slicktop configuration, hammered for $95,025*, bringing the 996 generation into the week's diverse results. Upcoming Lots: Highlights <- Gallery -> Looking ahead, eight cars are now available for bidding, and leading the current docket is a 2019 McLaren Senna finished in Factory MSO Blue Carbon with contrasting silver-painted bodywork and a gray Alcantara interior with 826 miles, currently bid to $1,711,095 with nine days remaining. The distinctive MSO specification and low mileage give this particular example a position within a limited production run of just 500 street-legal examples of this track-focused McLaren. Four Ferraris span very different eras and segments in this week's open docket, starting with a Rosso Corsa 2009 Ferrari 430 Scuderia Spider 16M with 10,000 miles, currently bid to $527,500 with six days remaining. Limited to 499 examples, the 16M also continues the Scuderia hierarchy question tracked across recent dR Live recaps, while the broader Ferrari group provides useful comparisons across mileage, specification, body style, engine configuration, and different generations as each auction moves toward its close. A 2022 Ferrari F8 Spider finished in Rosso Fiorano and showing 3,900 miles follows, sitting at $508,000 with three days remaining, giving the platform another closely timed F8 Spider to follow. A 2005 Ferrari F430 finished in Giallo Modena with 11,000 miles, which is currently bid to $151,000 with two days remaining. The naturally aspirated V12 side is represented by a 2013 Ferrari F12berlinetta in Bianco Avus, currently at $293,388 with five days remaining. Next is a 2018 Porsche 991.2 GT2 RS Weissach from Zuffenhausen, equipped with magnesium wheels and 10,738 miles, currently at $403,500 with five days remaining. This represents the fifth 991.2 GT2 RS Weissach to enter the docket within a relatively short window. Repeated examples now provide a deeper sample across mileage, specification, originality, and timing, making this week's car particularly useful for observing how bidding develops as additional supply reaches the platform. At the other end of the modern 911 spectrum, another 996 Turbo, finished in Arctic Silver, a 2003 Porsche 911 Turbo with just 3,235 miles and Porsche Exclusive options, currently sits at $130,000 with two days remaining. Hailing from the early water-cooled era, with the distinctive bug-eyed headlights, this 996 Turbo combines low mileage, a six-speed manual transmission, and a Mezger-derived flat-six engine. A 2017 Dodge Viper ACR Extreme from the Hale Collection joins the docket with just 1,368 miles, bringing another closely watched modern American collectible into this week's mix. Late-generation Vipers have attracted considerable collector attention throughout 2026, with the ACR Extreme sitting near the center of that interest. As a final-model-year example, this car combines the naturally aspirated 8.4-liter V10 and six-speed manual transmission with the Extreme Aero Package developed around the ACR's track-focused brief.

Aventador SV Tops a 15-Car Week as a Bianco Avus 430 Scuderia Leads the Docket on duPont REGISTRY Live

15 cars closed this week on duPont REGISTRY Live, adding more definition to several patterns we have been watching for months. Late bidding can still transform an auction when the right car finds its audience, while the growing number of repeat models is making it easier to see how mileage, specification, and individual auction dynamics influence results. Two weeks into September, the docket delivered everything from another substantial Aventador SV result to several cars that landed neatly within, or noticeably apart from, benchmarks already established on dR Live. Lots Closed: Highlights A 2017 Lamborghini Aventador SV in Blu Sideris with Ad Personam specification led the docket at $756,000 ($793,800 with Buyer's Premium), the second-highest publicly documented Aventador SV coupe auction result. Just over a month earlier, another 2017 Ad Personam SV, finished in Blu Cepheus, reached $796,000 hammer ($835,800 with Buyer's Premium) on dR Live. With dRi currently at $875,750, the hammer price for this latest result sits within a market that has already moved sharply, but the bidding trajectory was just as notable: with 5 days remaining, the car stood at $251,000 before more than tripling by the close. Another highlight from Sant'Agata came from a 2024 Lamborghini Huracán Tecnica finished in Giallo Inti along with its distinctive carbon-fiber exterior elements, which hit $325,000 ($341,250 with Buyer's Premium), adding another useful reference point for Lamborghini's final naturally aspirated V10 generation. Turning to American performance and a single-owner 2005 Ford GT with 6,300 miles hammered at $567,000 ($595,350 with Buyer's Premium), landing between two recent platform results: a Speed Yellow Stripe Delete car at $583,000 and a Mark IV Red example at $516,000. A 3,315-mile, single-owner Ford GT also hammered at $517,000 in May, meaning this week's car brought $50,000 more despite nearly twice the mileage. Porsche delivered two of the week's more revealing results. A 2018 Porsche 991.2 GT2 RS Weissach with approximately 700 miles hammered at $720,000. The 2018 GT2 RS, when new, cost $293,200 before destination, with the Weissach Package adding $31,000. That puts the basic Weissach configuration at roughly $325,250, placing this result about 121% above that figure. With the 992 generation still yet to produce a GT2 variant, the 991.2 remains the latest expression of Porsche's turbocharged GT2 formula, and low-mileage Weissach examples continue to command substantial premiums over their original pricing. A driver-focused 2016 Porsche 911 R, #003 of 991 with a six-speed manual transmission, hammered at $507,000, well below its $826,388 dRi. A 2011 Porsche 997.2 GT3 RS reached approximately $511,000 in the same docket, narrowly exceeding the newer and rarer 911 R. Model hierarchy did not determine the outcome this week. A 2023 Ferrari Purosangue with carbon fiber options and a panoramic roof hammered at $442,500 ($464,625 with Buyer's Premium), above the model's approximately $398,000 original starting price. Against a number of recent Purosangue transactions that have landed below sticker, an above-MSRP result for a well-optioned example is a counterpoint to that pattern. Staying with V12 Ferraris, a 1998 Ferrari 550 Maranello with a factory gated manual hammered at $201,000. 4 gated 550s have now crossed dR Live since July at $298,000, $296,000, $254,000, and $201,000, a sequence worth watching even allowing for differences between individual cars. Another result worth highlighting is a 2021 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6x6 conversion with approximately 1,500 miles, which crossed the digital block at $400,000 ($420,000 with Buyer's Premium). dR Live is beginning to develop an interesting pricing hierarchy around six-wheel G-Class builds. A 2017 conversion using OEM parts reached $478,000 in August, while a 1-of-15 Brabus B63-S 700 6x6 occupies an entirely different tier with its $908,000 result in July. Finally, the week also included two duPont Drops' 1 Hour Flash offerings. A 2019 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera closed at $154,000 hammer ($161,700 with Buyer's Premium), while a 2026 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 reached $117,500 ($123,375 with Buyer's Premium). The compressed format adds another useful layer to dR Live's pricing picture by showing how quickly buyers respond when the bidding window is measured in minutes rather than days. Upcoming Lots: Highlights <- Gallery -> Nine cars are currently open for bidding, dominated by modern exotics. Leading the current docket is a track-focused 2009 Ferrari 430 Scuderia in Bianco Avus with a VIP Book, bid to $333,333 with 3 days remaining. The uncommon factory color immediately separates it from the more familiar Rosso Corsa, Giallo Modena, while the accompanying documentation adds another layer of interest to an already focused specification. Not far behind is a 2010 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano with the factory HGTE package and approximately 8,870 miles, currently bid to $313,500 with five days to go. HGTE cars remain considerably less common than standard GTBs, with the package bringing chassis, suspension, and weight-saving changes that give the 599 a noticeably sharper character. Another Ferrari, this 2018 488 Spider, pairs 2,440 miles with rarely seen Avorio Historical paint and sits at $306,000 with 5 days remaining. Staying with Italy, a 2023 Maserati MC20 Cielo powered by the Nettuno V6 with 1,780 miles and Bianco Audace matte paint, is currently bid to $165,000, with five days remaining. For something more track-focused, a C7 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 finished in striking Sebring Orange, with just 403 miles and the 7-speed manual, ZTK and 3ZR packages, is also bid to $165,000 with six days remaining, making it one of the most tightly specified cars in the current lineup. Japanese performance is represented this week by a R35 2020 Nissan GT-R 50th Anniversary Edition, currently at $106,000 with five days to go, while the analog end of the spectrum is covered by a 996 2001 Porsche 911 Turbo with the desirable slicktop roof and 6-speed manual, now bid to $70,000 with three days remaining. BMW's latest performance wagon also makes its dR Live debut as a 2025 BMW M5 Touring with 1,295 miles and 717 horsepower under the hood. The G99 is the first M5 Touring officially offered in the U.S. market. Finally, a 2020 Audi R8 Spyder, in Kemora Gray, is the newest arrival, bringing naturally aspirated V10 power to the current lineup.

Saleen S7 Leads Closed Results as a Low-Mileage GT2 RS Weissach Headlines the Week Ahead on duPont REGISTRY Live

Nine cars crossed the digital block on duPont REGISTRY Live this past week, with yet another American Hypercar, this time with celebrity provenance, leading the results. Looking ahead, 13 cars are currently open for bidding, led by several significant analog and modern performance cars. A 700-mile Porsche 911 GT2 RS Weissach and a single-owner Ford GT headline the group, alongside another Ad Personam Aventador SV and an early Porsche 911 R. Lots Closed: Highlights A 2003 Saleen S7 provided a notable result on duPont REGISTRY Live, with a 1,910-mile example connected to Roger Rodas, business partner of the late Paul Walker, hammered for $900,000 ($945,000 with Buyer’s Premium). The result came in just 1.7% above the model's $885,000 duPont REGISTRY Index (dRi) value. This particular car previously sold for $675,000 on Bring a Trailer in June 2023, representing a 33.3% increase over roughly three years. Earlier in August, a much rarer 2007 Saleen S7 LM also sold on duPont REGISTRY Live for $1.098 million ($1.153 million with Buyer’s Premium), providing useful context for the premium commanded by the much rarer LM, limited to just three units. Staying with analog-era hypercars, a 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster, finished in Crystal Palladium Grey with 14,000 miles, hammered at $461,000 ($484,050 with Buyer's Premium), the fourth SLR to cross the block on the platform. As we explored in our market spotlight on the SLR last year, Gordon Murray, the same engineer behind the McLaren F1, spent years insisting on this car's front mid-engine layout and all-carbon structure. Around 2,100 examples were built across all variants, U.S. sales totaled approximately 713 cars between 2004 and 2010, and this particular Roadster is one of only 229 produced for the U.S. market. Values for clean examples have historically hovered between $270,000 and $900,000, and the SLR still remains undervalued relative to its analog-era contemporaries like the Porsche Carrera GT and Ferrari Enzo, which routinely fetch seven and, in the Enzo’s case, even eight figures, as seen across the recent Monterey Car Week auctions. The two Urban Automotive builds both closed: a 2027 Rolls-Royce Cullinan at $555,000 ($582,750 with Buyer's Premium) and a 2027 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG at $344,000 ($361,200 with Buyer's Premium). Both are aftermarket-modified examples rather than factory-configured specifications. The G63 at roughly 1.9 times its approximate $180,000 MSRP suggests the program is adding measurable secondary-market value. A 992.1 2023 Porsche 911 Turbo with about 6,700 miles hammered at $211,000 ($221,550 with Buyer's Premium). With a U.S. base MSRP of roughly $184,350 when new, the result sits about 14.5 percent above its original sticker before accounting for factory options. It also represents the final pre-electrification generation of the 911 Turbo, a distinction that could become increasingly relevant to 992.1 Turbo valuations moving forward. A 2006 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder with approximately 6,500 miles from a single owner hammered at $129,000 ($135,450 with Buyer's Premium). The Gallardo redefined the entry-level Lamborghini formula with its naturally aspirated V10, and ardent Clarkson fans among you may recall how he once said that the Spyder is where this Italian exotic truly looks its best. Finally, a 16,000-mile 1985 Mercedes-Benz 380SL with a removable hardtop hammered at $27,500 ($28,875 with Buyer's Premium). Classics are becoming increasingly visible alongside the modern exotics that have represented dR Live's earlier dockets, and the R107 adds another clear example of that widening mix. The clearest example came just last week, when a 1970 Ferrari Dino 246 GT, hammered for $647,000 ($679,350 including Buyer's Premium), set a new L-Series record. Upcoming Lots: Highlights <- Gallery -> A 2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS with approximately 700 miles and the Weissach Package currently leads the open docket at $588,888 with three days remaining. The combination of very low mileage and Weissach specification makes it one of the more notable 991.2 GT2 RS examples to appear on dR Live, where several examples spanning different mileages and configurations have already crossed the block. Its 700-horsepower, rear-wheel-drive layout also places the GT2 RS at the extreme end of the 991 generation, before Porsche's latest GT cars moved further into increasingly sophisticated chassis and powertrain technology. A single-owner 2005 Ford GT showing approximately 6,300 miles follows at $470,650 with five days remaining. The car represents another largely analog counterpoint within this week's docket, combining a supercharged V8 with a six-speed manual transmission. dR Live has handled several Ford GTs since launch, giving this example useful platform history against cars with different mileage, colors, and factory configurations. Ferrari contributes two very different naturally aspirated cars. A 1998 Ferrari 550 Maranello finished in Grigio Titanio, equipped with its factory gated six-speed manual, is currently at $127,000 with three days remaining. A 2012 Ferrari 458 Italia in Bianco Avus, carrying more than $70,000 in factory options, sits at $161,000 with five days remaining. Together, they highlight two important eras for Ferrari, with the 550 representing the Italian marque's front-engine manual V12 revival and the 458 its final series-production mid-engine naturally aspirated V8. Lamborghini is similarly well represented, with a 2024 Lamborghini Huracán Tecnica finished in Giallo Inti and protected by Damascus PPF currently bid to $250,000, while a 2017 Aventador SV in Blu Sideris through Ad Personam sits at $270,000. The SV is particularly notable as one of Lamborghini's naturally aspirated V12 flagships from the pre-hybrid era. Porsche adds two more significant analog cars. A 997.2 2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RS with PCCBs and the Sport Chrono Package is currently at $50,000, while a 991.2 2016 Porsche 911 R, number 003 of 991 and equipped with the optional single-mass flywheel, has only just begun bidding at $3,000. The latter's exceptionally early production number gives the car an additional point of distinction within an already limited 991-car production run. Elsewhere, a 2021 Mercedes-AMG G63 6x6 conversion with roughly 1,500 miles is at $126,001, while a 2023 Ferrari Purosangue with carbon-fiber options and a panoramic roof sits at $203,000. A 2016 McLaren 675LT in Silica White, one of 500 coupes produced, is at $138,900, while a Racing Yellow 2021 Porsche 718 Spyder is currently at $115,000. A six-speed 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet in Atlas Grey rounds out the current docket at $26,000. View All Lots on duPont REGISTRY Live.
