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.

Bugatti EB110 GT Prototype on duPont REGISTRY Live Ending Soon

Hailing from Bugatti's original Blue Factory in the heart of Italy's Motor Valley, this 1994 Bugatti EB110 GT Prototype is now available on duPont REGISTRY Live, offering collectors the opportunity of a lifetime to own a significant piece of the marque’s history. Highly recognized as the predecessor to the legendary Veyron, marking a monumental shift and quite possibly the defining moment of the term “hypercar”, the Bugatti EB110 first debuted in 1991 at a gala in Paris as a celebration of Ettore Bugatti’s 110th birthday. Today, it remains a quintessential piece of Bugatti’s DNA, soaring in value and significance among collectors and enthusiasts. In total, Bugatti produced fewer than 140 EB110s between 1990 and 1995, including 84 GT production cars, 30 Super Sport variants, 15 factory prototypes, and 10 pre-production cars. This specific example stands out as a factory second series prototype from Bugatti’s EB110 development program, meaning it was built on a carbon-fiber chassis from the French aerospace firm Aérospatiale, rather than the aluminum chassis used in the first series. The second series chassis were given a "C" prefix designation, primarily driven hard for driving certifications and durability testing, which is why Chassis #39012, seen here, is nicknamed "C13."C13 was completed in 1992 and originally finished in Verde Scuro over Grigio leather before being delegated for promotional use by Bugatti, making appearances at the Bologna Motor Show in December 1992 and at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London in February 1993. Later, during Bugatti’s emissions certification program for Swiss and American homologation in 1994, the factory re-stamped C13 with a new VIN and painted it in Bugatti Blu, which was then again restored to its original VIN, ZA9AB01E0NCD39012, during the company’s bankruptcy in 1996. The EB110 is currently fitted with a refurbished engine from chassis #39044, one sourced during the company’s liquidation period.The story continues after C13 was purchased by Dauer Sportwagen, which acquired most of Bugatti’s remaining inventory and parts after the bankruptcy. A complete restoration in Nuremberg came shortly after, with a bespoke light grey leather interior, GT-specification wheels, and several Dauer-specific details, including a revised rear panel with a centered Bugatti emblem inspired by late-production EB110s, a front license plate bracket, and an engraved "110 proto" sill plate.C13 represents one of only a few surviving Bugatti EB110 prototypes. With just 1,146 kilometers (approximately 712 miles) on the odometer, this EB110 comes powered by Bugatti’s 3.5L quad-turbocharged V12 that produces 550 horsepower and 451 pound-feet of torque. Paired with a 6-speed manual transmission and mated to a sophisticated all-wheel-drive system, the EB110’s platform laid the foundation for cars like Veyron, Chiron, and now, Mistral.

Two Rare Factory Prototypes Headline a Diverse Docket on duPont REGISTRY Live

13 exquisite automobiles crossed the digital block on duPont REGISTRY Live this past week. If you have been following these recaps week after week, a few patterns are becoming hard to ignore. Mid-engine Ferraris continue to showcase strength, whereas collector Porsches continue to perform well, and dR Live’s No Reserve format keeps producing exceptional results. This week delivered all three, plus something rarer: two historically significant factory prototypes that were directly involved in the development of two equally compelling exotics are now sitting in the docket simultaneously, which is something that you don’t see often. A first for the platform. Lots Closed: Highlights Starting with the number that deserves the most attention this week. A 2008 Ferrari 430 Scuderia in Rosso Corsa, showing 18,235 miles, realized $630,000. Three Rosso Corsa Scuderia examples have now crossed the block on the platform in recent weeks, with prior results of $729,000 and $676,000 on significantly lower-mileage cars. The F430 Scudria currently has a dRi (duPont REGISTRY Index) value of $421,289 in the duPont REGISTRY Garage app and sits considerably higher than the standard Berlinetta’s DRi of $142,209. At some point, you have to stop calling these outliers and start asking whether they are the new baseline. The Scuderia is no longer being valued as a driver's car. Mileage is increasingly secondary to what the car represents. Staying with Ferrari, mid-engine V8 examples maintained their consistent presence on the platform. A 2022 Ferrari F8 Tributo in the Blu Tour De France 70 livery achieved $415,000, and a 1998 Ferrari F355 Spyder in the rarely seen Azzurro California finish realized $316,000. If you want to better understand where the V8 Ferrari lineage is heading, we recently spotlighted 10 Key Models that should be on your radar. From prancing horse to Raging Bull, we had a 2024 Lamborghini Revuelto in Grigio Acheso that realized $589,000 on its platform debut. We will need more data points before drawing firm conclusions on where the Revuelto secondary market settles, but $589,000 is a reasonable opening act for Lamborghini’s flagship V12 hybrid at launch. Back in 2024, we tested a highly optioned Grigio Telesto example that carried a sticker price of $612,858. Moving on to Porsche, a 2025 Porsche 911 GT3 RS completed through Porsche's Sonderwunsch personalization department with the Weissach Package achieved $564,000. That is a real number for a current-production car, and it tells you something about where the bespoke premium sits right now. A 964 994 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6 in factory Paint to Sample Amethyst Metallic achieved $499,999, and a 997.1 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 with the Mezger flat six and Carbon Package realized $165,000. A 991.2 2019 Porsche 911 Carrera T, one of just 69 built with the seven-speed manual, crossed the block at $109,000. Then there is the 996 2004 Porsche 911 Turbo with 463 original miles and the factory AeroKit, hammered at $279,000. Rounding out the week, a 2021 Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 in Manufaktur Moonlight White Magno achieved $130,000, a 2021 Aston Martin Vantage Roadster realized $94,000, and a 2021 Audi RS 6 Avant in Daytona Gray crossed the block at $81,000. Upcoming Lots: Highlights <- Gallery -> 11 lots are currently open for bidding, with two of them being unlike anything that typically surfaces at auction; factory prototypes rarely seen outside the manufacturer's own archive. Leading the docket is a 1994 Bugatti EB110 GT Factory Prototype, currently bid to $1,001,000 with two days remaining. This is chassis C13, a second-series carbon-fiber prototype built in 1992 on an Aérospatiale chassis, one of just 15 factory prototypes among the fewer than 140 EB110s ever produced. Originally finished in Verde Scuro, it made public appearances at the Bologna Motor Show in December 1992 and in London in February 1993, before being repainted in Bugatti Blu during the factory's Swiss and American homologation program in 1994. Following Bugatti's 1995 bankruptcy, it was acquired by Dauer Sportwagen and fully restored with a bespoke light grey leather interior. With two days remaining, the current figure has material room to develop. Staying with prototypes, the 2014 Ferrari F12tdf Mulotipo MP4 has just entered the docket at $15,500 with nine days remaining. Built in 2014 to validate the F12tdf's aerodynamics and drivetrain ahead of its October 2015 Mugello debut, this is the only documented F12tdf-specific development car to have appeared at public auction. One of the most unique characteristics of this prototype is that the front end carries production-specification F12tdf bodywork while the rear retains F12berlinetta specification, finished in Nero with white vinyl roundels characteristic of Ferrari's internal test fleet. It is currently not street legal and is offered on a bill of sale, but crucially, the 15 mph factory speed limiter has been removed. Moving onto Ferrari's production lineup, a V12-powered 2007 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano in Rosso Corsa with just 5,062 original miles is bid to $236,000 with six days remaining, alongside a Giallo Modena 1995 Ferrari F355 Berlinetta with a gated six-speed manual at $202,000, closing within three days. It is estimated that of the 1,180 or so yellow examples produced worldwide, only about 25% made it stateside, putting that figure at anywhere between 250 and 300. Porsche remains a consistent force in the docket, with four examples spanning two black examples from the GT2 lineage and current-generation variants. A 997.1 2008 Porsche 911 GT2, one of 185 produced, leads the group at $355,000 with three days remaining, joined by a Mezger-era 996 2001 Porsche 911 GT2 Clubsport, one of just 70 built, at $300,000 with five days left. The more modern variety from Stuttgart this week includes 991.2 2018 Porsche 911 Carrera T with the Carrera T Interior Package, which is bid to $55,555, and a 992.1 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS with Satin PPF sits at $103,000, both with six days remaining. Representing American performance this week is this 2017 Dodge Viper ACR-Extreme VoooDoo II, one of just 31 produced that came online yesterday as an Independence Day special and is already bid to $399,000 with 10 days remaining. Joining the Viper are a 2016 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 C7.R Edition, one of 500 produced for the US market, at $52,000 with five days left, and a gen-5 S197 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 showing approximately 2,100 miles at $25,000 with three days remaining.

Rare Dodge Viper VoooDoo II Joins the docket on duPont REGISTRY Live as America Turns 250

As America marks 250 years of independence this Fourth of July, a rare Viper joins the docket briefly on duPont REGISTRY Live. This 2017 Dodge Viper ACR Extreme Voodoo II Edition is one of just 31 examples built before Dodge ended Viper production in January 2018. This car is No. 29 in that run, and it carries the most track-focused specification Dodge ever offered on a production Viper. The VoooDoo II builds on the standard ACR by adding the Extreme Aero Package, a setup that includes a carbon fiber front splitter with a detachable extension, front dive planes, an oversized dual-element rear wing, and an enhanced rear diffuser. Those components produce 1,200 pounds of downforce at 150 miles per hour, a figure that puts the ACR ahead of nearly every other production car sold in North America at the time. Power still comes from the 8.4-liter naturally aspirated V10, sent through a 6-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential to the rear wheels. <- Gallery -> This example wears Venom Black paint with a Graphite Metallic driver's stripe outlined in red, a tribute to the original 2010 Voodoo Edition. The odometer currently reads 3,174 miles, and the car comes with a clean Carfax report. Inside, black leather and Alcantara upholstery pair with silver contrast stitching, power-adjustable pedals, and Viper logos embossed into the headrests. Dodge built only 585 U.S.-market Vipers for the 2017 model year, and the VoooDoo II is the rarest configuration among them. This car will stay in the docket for a limited window before bidding closes soon. Cars with this combination of mileage, documentation, and factory specification rarely return to market once they change hands. So click the link below to place your bids.

Porsche Sets a New Benchmark as Lamborghini Revuelto Debuts on duPont REGISTRY Live

Another landmark week comes to a close on duPont REGISTRY Live with 16 cars crossing the digital block, led by a 2010 Porsche 911 GT3RS hammered above the previous publicly documented high for the 997.2 with the 3.8 unit. Looking ahead, the Lamborghini Revuelto, the Raging Bull brand’s current V12 flagship, has been listed on dR Live for the first time and is part of a diverse lineup of 12 cars in the docket, now open for bidding, going into the weekend. Closed Lots: Highlights The headline result was the car leading last week’s docket, a 2010 Porsche 911 GT3RS in Grey Black over Guards Red, showing just 3,500 miles, which hammered at $671,000, exceeding the previous publicly documented high of $625,000 for a standard 997.2 GT3 RS with the 3.8 Mezger flat-six. Outside of the GT3 RS 4.0, the standard 997.2 carries two structural advantages driving this trajectory: it was the final GT3 RS offered exclusively with a manual transmission before Porsche moved the nameplate to PDK-only, and it retains the Mezger architecture with direct lineage to Porsche's GT1 and GT3 Cup programs. Sub-5,000-mile examples like this one in factory color combinations have carried a widening premium over higher-mileage cars for some time now, and this result confirms that the premium has not plateaued. A 2025 Maserati GT2 Stradale, one of 914 units and showing 1,900 miles, hammered at $361,000. Built around a 3.0-liter twin-turbo Nettuno V6 with over 630 horsepower and roughly 60 kilograms (132 pounds) lighter than the standard MC20, the GT2 Stradale entered production too recently for a reliable public benchmark. Having said that, what is observable is that early transactions are clearing well above sticker price, a pattern more typical of limited-production Ferraris and Porsches than Maserati's recent history. Onto Porsche and a 2024 911 GT3 with the desirable Manthey kit crossed the block at $277,500 from 684 miles. A 2007 GT3 with its unmodified Mezger six hammered at $195,000, rewarding mechanical originality. A 1990 RS 3.8 tribute build with a Fabspeed exhaust closed at $172,000, and a 1996 Carrera 4S with a factory sunroof delete went under the hammer at $214,500. Porsche Speedster models with their low-slung roof and double-bubble hump carry a lineage that goes back decades, all the way to the 356, which is why these open-top sports cars remain highly sought-after regardless of generation. This week, a 964 1989 Speedster finished in Guards Red with just 8,000 miles on the clock, hammered at $191,000. The 2002 Acura NSX T finished in Silverstone Metallic with 5,136 miles, which we highlighted a few days ago, featuring on the platform for the first time, crossed the digital block at $211,500, while a 1988 Ferrari Testarossa with a freshly completed engine-out service closed at $150,000. A 2026 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing, the last V8-powered sedan to offer a manual, closed at $132,000 via the dR Drop 3-Hour Flash Auction, and a 1978 International Scout II rebuilt as a Super Scout tribute closed the week at $25,500. Upcoming Lots: Highlights <- Gallery -> 12 cars currently make up the docket, led by the Lamborghini Revuelto making its debut on the platform. Finished in Grigio Acheso with 300 miles, it is now bid to $515,095 with five days remaining. The Revuelto replaces the naturally aspirated Aventador with a 6.5-liter V12 paired to three electric motors for a combined 1,001 horsepower, marking Lamborghini's first series-production hybrid architecture and a genuinely significant addition to the current lineup. Porsche once again anchors the bulk of the docket, with five entries spanning four decades of the German marque. A 2025 911 GT3 RS completed through Porsche's Sonderwunsch personalization department with the Weissach Package leads the group at $426,000, with three days remaining; each Sonderwunsch car is built individually, beyond the standard configurator. A 1994 911 Turbo 3.6 in factory Paint to Sample Amethyst Metallic sits at $300,000 with six days remaining, and a 2019 911 Carrera T, one of just 69 examples built with the seven-speed manual, is bid to $101,000 with two days left. A 2004 911 Turbo with just 463 original miles and the factory AeroKit sits at $40,000 with six days remaining, and a 2007 911 GT3 with the Mezger flat six and Carbon Package rounds out the German marque's lineup at $16,000 with five days left. Mid-engine Ferrari consignments once again continue to be a near-weekly fixture on dR Live, and the current docket carries three. A 2022 F8 Tributo in the Blu Tour De France 70 livery with 4,554 miles is bid to $350,000 with five days remaining, while the third of the 430 Scuderia seen over the past few weeks, finished in Rosso Corsa with 18,235 miles, has just entered the docket at $333,333 and six days left. A 1998 F355 Spyder finished in the rarely seen Azzurro California sits at $55,000 with six days remaining, tracing the lineage of Ferrari's V8 berlinetta line across three distinct eras. The remainder of the docket brings a useful variety outside the platform's usual core. A 2021 Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 finished in Manufaktur Moonlight White Magno sits at $95,500 with five days remaining, a 2021 Aston Martin Vantage Roadster with the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 is bid to $70,000 with two days left, whereas a 2021 Audi RS 6 Avant in Daytona Gray with the Carbon Optic Package rounds out the week at $55,000 with three days remaining. Besides these, the upcoming week will also see yet another historically significant 90’s hypercar make its platform debut on duPont REGISTRY Live. Watch this space.

Legendary Acura NSX Listed on duPont REGISTRY Live for the First Time

A 2002 Acura NSX-T, finished in Silverstone Metallic over black leather and showing just 5,136 miles, is now live on duPont REGISTRY Live, marking the platform's first listing of Honda and Acura's groundbreaking supercar. NSX stands for ‘New Sports eXperimental,’ a name that captures exactly what Honda set out to build: a genuinely usable, everyday supercar rather than a temperamental exotic. Bidding currently sits at $180,000, and the auction has already drawn 536 views and 19 watchers, a strong early signal for a car that occupies a unique position in automotive history. This particular example is part of the first-generation NSX run, which spanned from 1990 until production ended in 2005, with roughly 18,000 units produced worldwide. The car's exterior was designed by Ken Okuyama, working through Pininfarina, the same designer who would later pen the Ferrari Enzo, while Honda Chief Engineer Shigeru Uehara led the engineering program underneath it. The NSX's significance goes well beyond its specifications. When Honda introduced the car in 1990, it set out to prove that a mid-engine supercar could be engineered with the reliability of an everyday Honda, a proposition that seemed almost contradictory to the European exotics it was built to challenge. Central to that achievement was the involvement of late three-time Formula One world-champion Ayrton Senna, who was driving for McLaren Honda in the late 1980s and early ‘90s. Senna tested an early prototype at Suzuka in 1989 and gave Honda's engineers his impressions of the car's chassis. Honda's engineers spent the following months refining the aluminum monocoque before the car reached production, a process widely tied to the handling balance the NSX became known for. The 2002 example seen here represents the facelifted, fixed-headlight version of the NSX, introduced that year in place of the original pop-up units that had defined the supercar since 1990. By 2002, annual production had fallen sharply from the model's early years, when Honda built more than 3,000 units in 1991 alone. For the 2002 model year, Acura produced 246 NSX-Ts for the North American market, with no fixed-roof coupes ordered. Among these, only 39 units were finished in Silverstone Metallic with a black interior, based on official Honda build records. <- Gallery -> That steep drop in volume means clean, well-preserved facelift cars like this one are considerably scarcer than the earliest examples, and they tend to command a premium in today's collector market. The mid-mounted 3.2-liter DOHC 24-valve VTEC V6 grew from the original 3.0-liter unit, specifically to extract more performance from Honda's high-revving, naturally aspirated formula, paired exclusively with a 6-speed manual transaxle in this configuration. Output is rated at 290 horsepower and 224 pound-feet of torque, paired exclusively with a 6-speed manual transaxle in this configuration. Period road tests recorded 0-60 mph in the 5.0 to 5.8 second range and a quarter mile in the low 13-second bracket, while the 2002 facelift's revised aerodynamics raised top speed from 168 mph on earlier cars to 175 mph. Several details on this specific car reflect the NSX-T's design at its most resolved. The integrated rear lip spoiler, body-color removable targa roof panel, NSX-branded gold brake calipers, and 17-inch forged wheels are all consistent with the model's late-production specification, while the cabin's Bose sound system, automatic climate control, and stainless-steel sill plates underline the NSX's original mission as a genuinely usable daily exotic. With just 5,136 original miles, this two-owner example sits firmly in the upper tier of NSX-T condition and presentation. The car is accompanied by two keys and a factory car cover in its NSX-branded storage bag, completing a package aimed squarely at collectors. With 97 bids logged and bidding set to end in two days, this NSX-T is shaping up to be a meaningful data point for where clean, low-mileage examples of Honda's first supercar currently sit in the market.

A Record-Setting Week Closes as a Diverse Docket Builds on duPont REGISTRY Live

Every so often, a single result changes how you read the market. That moment came this past week, for the online automotive marketplace as a 1-of-1 2003 Ferrari Enzo finished in Rosso Dino hammered at $12,399,000 on duPont REGISTRY Live, setting a new all-time online auction record and more than doubling the previous online auction record. While the platform has already seen several seven-figure results since launching in November last year, this is the first time that we have broken into eight figures. With a steady flow of analog-era consignments closing at premiums, the diverse range of automobiles in the current docket, everything from off-roaders to sports cars and exotics, looks equally compelling. Closed Lots: Highlights The 2003 Ferrari Enzo in Rosso Dino, the only example ever finished in that bespoke color, hammered at $12,399,000, with the final figure including the auction's premium settling at $13,018,950, making it the third most expensive Enzo to ever sell at auction, ever, across both in-person and online formats. Produced across just 400 examples and representing the pinnacle of Ferrari's road car hierarchy for its era, a one-off color commission of this magnitude has no meaningful precedent anywhere in the collector car market. The result now represents the highest figure ever hammered for a car sold through an online auction platform, and you can read more about this specific Enzo and get an overview of the Enzo’s recent momentum in our in-depth Market Spotlight. The 2015 McLaren P1 Spider by Lanzante, 2-of-5 converted to open-top specification finished in Gulf racing colors, hammered at $3,300,000. One of the rarest hypercar conversions ever undertaken by an independent specialist, the result confirms the Lanzante Spider as a genuinely distinct collectible separate from the standard production coupe. The 2016 Ferrari F12tdf, 1-of-799 produced and showing 1,255 miles, hammered at $2,771,000. The track-focused variant of the F12 Berlinetta continues to command serious attention from collectors who recognize it as the most driver-oriented naturally aspirated front-engine Ferrari of its generation. Analog-era Ferraris closed out the week with continued strength across multiple price points. A 2008 Ferrari 430 Scuderia with the Carbon Package and 11,575 miles hammered at $676,000, while a 2014 Ferrari 458 Spider finished in Rosso Corsa with a Beige interior crossed the digital block at $415,000, a new world auction record for a standard 458 Spider and well above the previous high of $381,000 set earlier this year. This result is especially notable given that standard 458 Spiders typically trade between $200,000 and $270,000 at auction and rarely breach $300,000, making this a significant outlier even before accounting for the car's mileage and model year. Porsche results spanned several generations of the German marque's most collectible models. The 2003 911 GT2 with the Mezger engine and 20,000 miles hammered at $326,000, and a 2007 911 GT3 with the same Mezger flat six in Carrara White crossed the digital block at $174,497. Two 1996 911 Turbos closed within days of each other, a 993 GT2 Tribute finished in Speed Yellow at $337,000, and an Arena Red example with 43,000 miles at $260,000. A 2022 Lamborghini Huracan EVO RWD crossed the digital block at $265,500 through the platform's dR Drop 3-Hour Flash Sale format. Closing out the week, a custom-built 2007 BMW M6 fitted with a stroker V10 conversion hammered at $34,000, and a 1960 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe with RideTech air suspension closed at $45,000. Upcoming Lots: Highlights <- Gallery -> There are 15 cars in the docket. Porsche continues to be strongly represented this week with eight lots across both air-cooled and water-cooled eras. Highlights include a 2010 Porsche 911 GT3RS with 3,500 miles finished in Grey Black and Guards Red is currently bidding to $435,000 with one day remaining, placing it among the strongest results of the week should bidding hold through closing. A 2024 Porsche 911 GT3 fitted with the Manthey Performance Kit and showing just 684 miles is currently bid to $275,000 with five days remaining. Developed by the team behind Porsche's Nurburgring racing program, the Manthey kit adds a measurable performance dimension that current-generation GT3 collectors increasingly seek. A 2017 Porsche 911 Turbo S finished in Paint to Sample Gulf Blue with the Sport Chrono Package is currently bid to $210,000 with four days remaining. Beyond Stuttgart, a 2025 Maserati GT2 Stradale, one of just 914 produced and showing 1,900 miles, is currently bid to $230,000 with one day remaining. As Maserati's most track-focused road car in over a decade, the GT2 Stradale represents a significant return to form for the Italian marque's performance lineage. A 1988 Ferrari Testarossa finished in a classic Rosso Corsa with a fresh engine-out service is currently bid to $72,920 with four days remaining, offering one of the more accessible entry points into analog Ferrari ownership currently available on the platform. A gated manual 2011 R8 V10 Spyder is currently bid to $32,000 with four days remaining. Further highlights include a platform-first 2002 Acura NSX T finished in Silverstone Metallic with 5,136 miles at $90,500, and a 1978 International Scout II rebuilt as a Super Scout tribute following a full restoration at $10,000, both with five days of bidding remaining.

duPont REGISTRY Live Sets All-Time Online Auction Record with $13M Ferrari Enzo

June 17 - MIAMI, FL – duPont REGISTRY Live has established a new benchmark for the collector car market with the hammer price of the world's only Ferrari Enzo finished in Rosso Dino. The vehicle crossed the digital auction block at $13,018,950 ($12.399 million plus Buyer’s Premium) with no reserve, making it the most expensive automobile ever processed through an online auction platform. The result eclipses the previous online auction record of $5.36 million – set by a LaFerrari Aperta in 2022 – and marks a defining moment for digital collector car transactions, demonstrating that the world's most significant automobiles no longer require a physical auction room to achieve extraordinary results.

With only 400 Enzos produced worldwide, the sale highlights the enduring importance of provenance, rarity, and factory specification at the highest levels of the collector market.

New Record: 1-of-1 Rosso Dino Ferrari Enzo Closes on duPont REGISTRY Live at $13.01 million

The world’s only Ferrari Enzo finished in Rosso Dino has just hammered on duPont REGISTRY Live at $12,399,000 with no reserve ($13,018,950 including Buyer's Premium), setting a new world record. Eclipsing the previous online auction record of $5.36 million – set by a LaFerrari Aperta on Bring a Trailer in 2022 – this eight-figure result is the most expensive car ever to cross a digital-only auction block. It is a defining moment for the online auction format, signaling that the collector car market's most significant transactions no longer require a physical saleroom to carry weight. As duPont REGISTRY continues its mission to transform how the luxury and exotic automotive sector buys, sells, and engages, this landmark sale proves that clients are fully ready to embrace the shift. Of the 400 examples produced between 2002 and 2004, and one of the 127 units that were delivered to the U.S., chassis ZFFCW56A230134278 is the only one finished in this historically significant shade. Rosso Dino is named after Alfredo 'DINO' Ferrari, Enzo Ferrari's eldest son, who passed away in 1956 at 24 from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. The color that honors him first appeared in the 1960s on the Ferrari 250 GTO, spent 7 decades outside the active paint catalog, and returned in 2002 at the request of a single client. That client was Gerald Barnes, a major collector and owner of Ferrari Maserati of Newport Beach. Barnes was a clothing importer whose AUTO collection became well known in Ferrari circles, specifically for its recurring commitment to Rosso Dino across multiple cars. The Enzo was a crown jewel of a collection built around a single color made possible through Ferrari’s Tailor Made program, which made several Enzo colors possible outside the three standard shades: Rosso Corsa, Giallo Modena, and Nero. Ferrari's own factory window sticker, which accompanied the car through its auction on duPont REGISTRY Live, records the exterior as an out-of-range paint color. To really drive the point home about paying attention to factory options during the configuration phase, on this V12 exotic that carried an original sticker price of $662,694, the aforementioned out-of-range paint color that makes this Enzo one-off among all 400 examples ever built, originally cost just $2,364. That figure amounts to less than four-tenths of one percent of the car's original purchase price. It serves as a reminder that on halo cars of this order, the decisions made at the point of configuration can define the car's place in history for decades to come. Barnes made one such decision, and the market has spent over 20 years catching up to it. <- Gallery -> The precedent for unique provenance commanding a premium within this production run is long established. When the Vatican-owned Enzo crossed the block at a charity auction in 2005, it achieved approximately $1 million above prevailing market value, an early signal of how singular stories within this production run can move pricing beyond what the standard market can fully anticipate. duPont REGISTRY has followed this specific chassis (#134278) since 2017, when it was available on our marketplace. That the market has now caught up to what we identified nine years ago speaks volumes about the car's enduring pedigree. The chassis arrived on duPont REGISTRY Live this month, showing just 3,758 miles from new, with a comprehensive major service completed in December 2024. The volume of bidding activity that we witnessed at this price level is itself significant. Over 725 bids, 115+ active watchers, and over 9,500 views with a fierce bidding battle in the final hour. Traditional auction houses handling a lot of this magnitude typically see a handful of paddle raises in the room. Online, the depth of participation across hundreds of bids is visible in a way the saleroom never allows, and the no-reserve decision amplifies everything. At this price point, offering a car without a floor beneath it is an extraordinary act of confidence in both the asset and the platform. The consignor trusted the market completely, and the market responded accordingly. To frame the significance in the broadest possible context: the most expensive car ever sold at auction remains the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe, which achieved $143 million at a special on-site RM Sotheby's sale at the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart in 2022. That car is a 1-of-2 1955 racing prototype with a provenance that spans seven decades. This Enzo is a street-legal hypercar from 2003, and it now holds the equivalent record for the online-only auction world. The broader Enzo market context is well established. The car had previously hammered at Mecum Kissimmee in January 2026 for $11,110,000 before coming to market on duPont REGISTRY Live, where it has now closed at $12,399,000 with no reserve. That January result was itself part of a first quarter that saw multiple Enzos cross the block for over $9 million this year, across auction houses, including Mecum Indy, RM Sotheby's Monaco, and Broad Arrow Amelia Island. This result is in line with the current duPont REGISTRY Index (dRi) value of $11,110,000. This landmark result positions duPont REGISTRY Live, which only came online 7 months ago in Mid-November 2025, as a serious competitor to the established physical auction houses for the most coveted consignments in the collector car world, and no online platform has ever closed a car that made a case quite like this one. The Enzo, of course, belongs to the Ferrari Big Six alongside the 288 GTO, F40, F50, the LaFerrari, F80, and shares its platform and drivetrain with the Maserati MC12. Seven-time Formula 1 world champion Michael Schumacher also played a key role during the development testing at Ferrari's Fiorano test track, and the body was styled under Ken Okuyama at Pininfarina. A full market spotlight on the Ferrari Enzo, its 2026 price trajectory, and what this result means for the broader modern Ferrari collector market will follow later this week on duPont REGISTRY.

One Day Remains as 1-of-1 Rosso Dino Ferrari Enzo Chases Eight-Figure Result

A 1-of-1 2003 Ferrari Enzo finished in historically significant Rosso Dino, and closing tomorrow on duPont REGISTRY Live is currently bid to $9,010,000. This not only makes it the first automobile on the cusp of becoming the first eight-figure car to cross the digital auction block since the platform launched in mid-November last year with multiple seven-figure sales to its name, but also the most expensive car to ever cross the auction block, and that too at No Reserve. Chassis ZFFCW56A230134278 is the only Enzo ever delivered in Rosso Dino, a color named for Alfredo "Dino" Ferrari, Enzo Ferrari's eldest son, who passed away at 24 from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. The color first appeared in the 1960s on the Ferrari 250 GTO, disappeared from the paint catalog for decades, and returned in 2002 at the request of a single client. <- Gallery -> That client was Gerald Barnes, owner of Ferrari Maserati Southern California, one of the most significant Ferrari dealer-principals in the United States. Barnes specified Rosso Dino at a moment when Ferrari had already signaled the Enzo would be offered exclusively in Rosso Corsa, Giallo, and Nero. The factory reversed that position for a small number of clients willing to request colors outside the standard Enzo catalog, and Barnes made the only request that produced this particular shade. Ferrari's own factory window sticker, which accompanies the car, documents the exterior as an out-of-range paint color. duPont REGISTRY first covered this exact chassis (s/n #134278 ) in 2017, when it was already recognized as one of the most singular Enzos in existence. The V12-powered Enzo occupies a permanent position among the Ferrari Big Five, alongside the 288 GTO, F40, F50, and LaFerrari, and serves as the basis for the Maserati MC12. At Mecum Kissimmee in January 2026, the Enzo market repriced decisively, with four examples clearing eight figures in the first quarter of the year alone. As a one-off commission, this particular chassis has the potential to become the next to break into eight figures this year. Of the 400 Enzos produced and 127 delivered to the United States, not one other carries this specification. The car shows 3,758 miles from new, received a major service in December 2024, and is currently present in Miami. The auction has drawn over 650 bids and 96 active watchers, with expected bidding wars as we enter the final 24 hours of the auction.

Murcielago Roadster Headlines Closed Results as Ferrari Enzo and F12tdf Lead the Upcoming Docket on duPont REGISTRY Live

Last week, a 1-of-1 2003 Ferrari Enzo finished in Rosso Dino entered the docket. Seven days on and it is currently bid to $9,010,000 with two days of bidding remaining. As the flagship V12 builds towards being one of the most defining results as the first car to potentially break into eight figures on duPont REGISTRY Live, since the platform launched in mid-November last year, the past seven days saw more than a dozen cars cross the digital block, with nine exciting automobiles in the docket for the coming week. Closed Lots: Highlights A 2006 Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster with a factory-gated manual and 8,410 miles was the week's headline closed result, hammering at $855,000, establishing the factory-gated open-top Murcielago as a genuinely significant collectible in the current market. The simultaneously closing 2003 Murcielago coupe, also with a gated manual and documented Nicolas Cage ownership, went under the hammer at $361,000. Analog-era Ferraris, particularly from the 2000s and with V8s, have been on the uptick. A 2004 Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale with factory stripe delete hammered at $587,000. The first of three Ferrari 430 Scuderia examples, a 2009 example with 12,600 miles, went under the hammer at $729,000. Six Porsches crossed the digital block this week. Highlights include a 992.1 2024 Porsche 911 S/T with the highly desirable Heritage Design Package, and 305 miles crossed the digital block at $590,000. A Mezger-powered 997.2 2010 Porsche 911 GT3 RS in White Gold Livery, hammered at $524,000. A 992.1 2025 Porsche 911 Turbo 50 Years Edition went under the hammer at $336,000, while the 2025 Porsche 718 Spyder RS with CXX and Weissach options closed at $214,000. Wrapping up out the highlights, a 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren in Crystal Laurite Silver with the Red Silver Arrow interior and turbine style wheels crossed the digital block at $455,000. Produced in limited numbers as a joint venture between Mercedes-Benz and McLaren, the SLR, built at the MTC in Woking, England, remains undervalued compared to its contemporaries. We’ve noticed a steady stream of both coupes and roadsters surface on the platform over the past few months. Open Lots: Highlights <- Gallery -> Hypercars have been a force to be reckoned with over the past month on dR Live, and that trend continues going into week three of June. A 2003 Ferrari Enzo in Rosso Dino, the only example ever produced in that bespoke color, is currently bid to $9,010,000. Produced across 399 examples and representing the peak of Ferrari's road car hierarchy for its era, the one-of-one color commission named in memory of Enzo Ferrari’s eldest son, places this particular Big-Five Ferrari in a category of its own. With just two days left to close, all eyes will be on this V12 exotic with bidding wars set to escalate. Staying with Maranello, a 2016 Ferrari F12tdf, one of 799 produced and showing 1,255 miles, is currently bidding at $1,501,123 with three days remaining. The F12tdf is the track-focused limited-production variant of the F12 Berlinetta, built as the most driver-oriented naturally aspirated front-engine Ferrari of its generation, and low-mileage examples in this specification are among the most actively tracked in the current Ferrari collector market. As for V8 power from the prancing horse, we have the second of the three aforementioned Rosso Corsa 430 Scuderias, a 2008 example currently bid to $433,333, and a 2014 458 Spider also finished in Rosso Corsa, now bid to $302,500. The 2015 McLaren P1 Spider, chassis 2-of-5 converted by Lanzante, finished in Gulf Racing colors, is currently bidding at $1,700,000 with four days remaining. Part of the Holy-Trinity series of hybrid hypercars, this is one of just five converted to open-top specification by Lanzante Motorsport. We have five offerings from Stuttgart. Two air-cooled 993-gen 1996 Porsche 911 Turbos are closing within the next 24 hours: a 43,000-mile Arena Red example with carbon trim at $203,000 and a 911 GT2 Tribute in Speed Yellow at $175,000. Mezger consignments continue to be in conversation. A 997.2 2010 Porsche 911 GT3RS with 3,500 miles in Grey Black and Guards Red sits at $425,000 with eight days remaining, a 2007 911 GT3 finished in Carrera White at $172,997, and the 2003 Porsche 911 GT2, representing peak 996 and 20,000 miles, is at $238,000 with four days left. dR Drop, duPont REGISTRY Live's flash auction series is also starting to pick up momentum.
