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.

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.

The Ferrari That Recorded Enzo-Level Pace at Fiorano Is Up for Grabs on duPont REGISTRY Live

Some Ferraris become valuable because they are rare, whereas others have become important because they mark the end of an era. The Ferrari 430 Scuderia, currently up for auction through duPont REGISTRY Live, does both. Finished in Rosso Corsa with the optional NART Racing Stripe and showing just 11,575 miles, this single-owner example from 2008 represents one of Ferrari's most focused road cars and a snapshot of Maranello's offerings before dual-clutch transmissions, turbocharging, and increasingly digital driving experiences became the norm. Introduced for the 2008 model years, the 430 Scuderia arrived during one of Ferrari's most successful Formula One eras and carried direct input from seven-time World Champion Michael Schumacher. Rather than simply chasing horsepower, Ferrari concentrated on sharpening every aspect of the driving experience. The high-revving naturally aspirated 4.3-liter F136 V8 received a revised intake system, reduced exhaust backpressure, and a higher state of tune that increased output to 503 horsepower. Paired with Ferrari's F1 Superfast 2 transmission, the Scuderia could execute shifts in just 60 milliseconds, making it one of the fastest-shifting production cars of its era. Engineers also shaved approximately 220 pounds through extensive use of carbon fiber, lightweight interior components, titanium springs, and a Lexan engine cover. The Scuderia further introduced a more advanced integration of Ferrari's E-Diff electronic differential and F1-Trac traction control systems, technology that would influence future models throughout the lineup. Those changes paid dividends at Ferrari's Fiorano test circuit, where the Scuderia recorded a lap time of approximately 1 minute and 25 seconds, matching the legendary Enzo hypercar despite producing nearly 150 fewer horsepower. The design itself remains a highlight. Penned by Pininfarina under the direction of Frank Stephenson, the F430's compact proportions stand in contrast to many modern supercars. Combined with hydraulic steering, rear-wheel drive, a naturally aspirated V8, and a single-clutch automated manual transmission, the Scuderia delivers a combination that Ferrari would never repeat. <- Gallery -> Today, the 430 Scuderia occupies a unique position within Ferrari's history as it combines a naturally aspirated V8, hydraulic steering, compact dimensions, and a single-clutch automated manual transmission, ingredients that would largely disappear from future Ferrari road cars. Registry estimates suggest only 1,500 to 2,000 coupes were produced worldwide, with approximately 500 to 600 examples reaching the United States. With bidding underway through June 19, this 430 Scuderia offers a rare opportunity to acquire one of the defining driver's Ferraris of the modern era, a machine that captures a distinctly analog chapter in Maranello's history before the transition to turbocharging and dual-clutch technology.

1-of-1 Ferrari Enzo and McLaren P1 Spider Lead a Hypercar Docket on duPont REGISTRY Live

The week ending June 6th delivered one of the most significant sales on duPont REGISTRY Live. 17 cars dominated by modern exotics and sports cars crossed the digital block over the past seven days, led by a low-mileage Guards Red 918 Spyder, a Holy-Trinity hypercar which hammered at $2,969,000. Looking to the week ahead, two hypercar conignments lead a 16-car docket. Besides a 1-of-1 2003 Ferrari Enzo finished in Rosso Dino, and a 1-of-5 McLaren P1 Spider by Lanzante in iconic Gulf Livery, a celebrity-owned Murcielago closing soon rounds out the lineup. Here are the highlights. Closed Lots: Highlights A 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder with the CXX Sonderwunsch Package and 420 original miles, hammered at $2,969,00. Produced across 918 units worldwide (only 41 in Guards Red), the highest production total among the three Holy Trinity hybrid hypercars, this clean example at sub-500 miles confirms that the ceiling is holding firmly above the $2.9 million mark. Staying with Porsche, a 2019 911 Speedster (991.2) with Heritage Design Package and ~4,000 miles was the session's second-highest individual result at $496,806. The Speedster is among the most consistently valued limited-production 991-generation cars, and the Heritage Design Package commands a documented premium over standard specification examples. Onto GT models and a 2025 Porsche 911 GT3RS (992.1) also finished in Guards Red, with 4,630 miles and equipped with Valvetronic exhaust, hammered at $355,500, confirming current-generation GT3 RS values above $350,000 for low-mileage examples with factory performance options. The June 4 Gulf Orange pairing represents the week's most directionally useful data outside the headline lots. A 2024 Porsche Boxster Spyder RS in PTS Gulf Orange hammered at $197,500, and the 2023 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS with Weissach Package in the same specification cleared at $186,500. Finally, a 2015 911 GT3 (991.1) finished in Martine Blue and with 4,170 miles was part of our three-hour dR Drop flash sale, and it hammered at $169,500. Moving on to a 2021 Ferrari SF90 Stradale with 5,400 miles and equipped with the highly desirable Assetto Fiorano package, hammered at $397,000. The Assetto Fiorano package adds Multimatic dampers, titanium springs, and revised exhaust alongside approximately 66 pounds of weight reduction. Dodge posted two results in close succession on June 5. The 2016 Viper ACR Extreme at 844 miles with the Extreme Aero Pack hammered at $437,000, and the 2017 GTS-R Final Edition, chassis #5 of 100, followed at $427,000. The $10,000 spread between a fully optioned low-mileage example and a numbered limited-edition variant confirms near-parity in the current Viper collector market at equivalent condition. The 2014 Viper GTS, one of 52 produced in Stryker Green, closed at $166,000/ The 2024 Nissan GT-R Skyline Edition (R35), one of 100 produced for the U.S. market, finished in iconic Bayside Blue, closed at $190,500. For context, its original MSRP was $131,090; the result confirms collector demand for final-year production and limited-edition specification. Open Lots: Highlights <- Gallery -> One of the most significant consignments in the platform's history leads the current docket. A 2003 Ferrari Enzo, documented as the only example ever produced in Rosso Dino, a bespoke color never offered in standard production, is currently bid to $6,100,000 with 10 days remaining. Produced across just 399 examples and representing the Italian marque’s Big Five and hailing from the peak of Ferrari's road car hierarchy from the Luca-di-Montezemolo era, when Michael Schumacher and Scuderia Ferrari were a dominant force in Formula 1, this unique color commission on one of the rarest road Ferraris of its generation places this example in a category entirely its own. Alongside the Enzo is the week’s second hypercar, a 2015 McLaren P1 Spider. The Woking-based sports car maker only produced 375 coupes worldwide. This particular example began life as #209 and was originally finished, dubbed ‘Professor’ for its unique Professor 2 Blue color. This car is #2 of just 5 converted to open-top specification by Lanzante Motorsport of the U.K., finished in historic Gulf Livery, is currently bid to $1,025,000 with 12 days remaining. With the platform's own McLaren P1 coupe result serving as a reference point, the Lanzante Spider conversion represents a fundamentally rarer proposition. Beyond the hypercars, much of this week's offerings is centered on analog-era exotics and performance cars from the 2000s. Two Pininfarina-designed V8 Ferraris, both in signature Rossa Corsa, a 2004 360 Challenge Stadale with a factory stripe delete at $288,888, and a 2009 F430 Scuderia with the carbon package, is currently bidding to $100,500. Two gated manual V12-powered Murcielagos are part of the lineup this week. A 2006 Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster with a factory gated manual leads at $456,000 with three days remaining, while the 2003 Murcielago Coupe with documented Nicolas Cage ownership is currently bid to $326,000, also with three days left. Further highlights include a 2010 Porsche 911 GT3 RS (997.2) in White Gold Livery at $382,500 with three days remaining, a 2025 Porsche 911 Turbo 50 Years Edition, and a 2024 Porsche 911 S/T with the Heritage Design Package and just 305 miles, both at $300,000. A 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren finished in Crystal Laurite Silver over a Silver Arrow red interior and Turbine-style wheels, the car’s launch-spec, at $291,000, rounds out the lineup.

#2-of-5 McLaren P1 Spider by Lanzante Listed on duPont REGISTRY Live

Following the 1-of-1 Rosso Dino Ferrari Enzo listed earlier this week, a 2015 McLaren P1 Spider by Lanzante, chassis #2 of 5, finished in a historic Gulf racing livery over a white SuperFabric leather interior, is now live on the platform with 2,935 miles on the odometer. It is the second P1 to appear on duPont REGISTRY Live after last month’s headline sale, and joins a growing number of Holy Trinity cars being consigned here. McLaren built exactly 375 P1 coupes and never offered a factory convertible. The coupe's carbon-fiber MonoCage integrated the roof as a structural element, making an open-top conversion a substantial engineering undertaking. Lanzante, the British firm that won the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans with the McLaren F1 GTR and brought the track-only P1 GTR to the road, committed to a maximum of five Spider conversions. The program was led by Paul Howse, the original P1 exterior designer, and unveiled at the 2022 Goodwood Festival of Speed. This particular car has an interesting story even before the conversion. Chassis #209 was delivered new through McLaren Philadelphia in a 1-of-1 MSO shade called "Professor 2 Blue," commissioned by its first owner, a Harvard Business School professor, earning the car the nickname "the Professor" in McLaren circles. It was subsequently sent to Lanzante for the Gulf livery treatment, full cabin retrim in UV-treated white SuperFabric leather with orange piping, and the structural conversion that produced one of only five open-top P1s in existence. <- Gallery -> The 903-horsepower hybrid powertrain, combining a 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V8 with an AC permanent-magnet synchronous electric motor through a 7-speed dual-clutch transaxle, carries over from the coupe unchanged. The car has clocked less than 200 miles since the conversion. With 375 coupes produced against 499 LaFerraris and 918 Porsche 918 Spyders, the P1 is already the rarest member of the Holy Trinity. Chassis 02/05 narrows that further. The full specification and provenance are detailed in the listing.

1-of-1 Rosso Dino Ferrari Enzo Hits The Digital Block on duPont REGISTRY Live

A 2003 Ferrari Enzo, the only example ever factory-finished in Rosso Dino, is currently live on duPont REGISTRY Live with 3,758 miles on the odometer, marking the first time a Ferrari halo car and the first member of the Ferrari Big Five to ever be listed on our auctions platform. Rosso Dino, as a color, carries immense significance in Ferrari's history, as it is named after Alfredo "Dino" Ferrari, Enzo Ferrari's eldest son, an automotive engineer who passed away at 24 from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Enzo named both the Dino chassis and the color in his memory. The shade originally debuted in the 1960s on the Ferrari 250 GTO before spending decades outside the paint catalog. The color returned in 2002 when a single client requested it for his Enzo, making this car directly responsible for bringing the color back into Ferrari's production history. We, in fact, featured this very car (chassis #134278) back in 2017. Ferrari's own factory window sticker documents it as an "out-of-range paint colour." Of the 127 Enzos delivered to the United States from a worldwide run of 400, this is the only one wearing it. The Enzo itself needs little introduction to serious Ferrari collectors. It arrived in 2002 as Ferrari's flagship for the new millennium, named after the company's founder and developed around technology drawn directly from Scuderia Ferrari's Formula 1 program. Michael Schumacher contributed to development testing at Fiorano, and the body was styled under Ken Okuyama at Pininfarina. Conceived and launched under then-President and CEO Luca di Montezemolo, it belongs to the aforementioned Ferrari Big Five alongside the 288 GTO, F40, F50, and LaFerrari. Another Enzo derivative, the Maserati MC12, which duPont REGISTRY covered in a market spotlight just days ago, shares its carbon-fiber chassis, V12 engine, and transmission with Ferrari’s flagship from the 2000s. The Enzo introduced several road car firsts: a full carbon-fiber monocoque chassis, carbon-ceramic Brembo brakes, and active aerodynamics. Its 6-speed paddle-shift automated manual transmission executed gear changes in 150 milliseconds, faster than any production road car at the time of launch. <- Gallery -> The naturally aspirated F140B 6.0-liter V12 that produces 651 horsepower represents exactly the kind of powerplant collectors are aggressively pursuing as electrification reshapes the industry, driving renewed appetite for naturally aspirated V12s and V8s alike. In the Enzo market, color, provenance, and mileage drive value more directly than almost any other variable. You can view the full breakdown of all the Enzo colors here. A one-of-one factory color specification for an example like this one, showing under 4,000 miles, in a finish with this much history behind it, sits in a category of its own. The full provenance, specification, and latest service history are detailed in the listing.

Mezger Porsches and Classic Metal Close as a Celebrity Murciélago Headlines Upcoming Docket on duPont REGISTRY Live

The final week of May 2026 brought a broad cross-section of collector car categories across the digital block on duPont REGISTRY Live, ranging from European classics and American muscle to collector-grade Porsches and a gated manual Ferrari closing on the platform. With the current docket now featuring a mid-engine exotic previously owned by Hollywood actor Nicolas Cage alongside a low-mileage Porsche 918 Spyder closing in on its final days of bidding, the platform continues to attract consignments that go well beyond standard auction fare. Lots Closed: Highlights The two Porsche 911 GT3 RS examples that featured in last week's upcoming docket both delivered compelling results. The 2010 GT3RS in Carrera White and Guards Red hammered at $405,000. Paired with the uprated naturally aspirated 3.8-liter Mezger flat-six mill and a 6-speed manual transmission, it reflects the continued interest in the gen-2 997 GT3 RS as one of the most driver-focused Porsches of its era. A 2007 GT3 RS dot 1 with the 3.6-liter Mezger unit and 11,600 miles went under the hammer at $280,000. The Mezger flat-six carries particular weight among informed collectors as one of the most celebrated naturally aspirated Porsche engines ever produced. A 2021 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT Black Series in AMG Magmabeam, showing just 925 miles, crossed the digital block at $391,500. Measured against the Project One variant that closed at $604,000 on the platform last week, the gap between the two results illustrates precisely how much the one-of-40 Project One specification commands above a standard Black Series. The 1992 Ferrari 512 TR in Argento Metallizzato with a gated manual went under the hammer at $313,000. Set alongside the 1-of-1 Saudi Royal 512 TR Spider that hammered at $650,000 on the platform two weeks prior, the result demonstrates the significant premium that bespoke body configurations and documented provenance command over even well-specified standard examples. The 2011 Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera in Nero Noctis crossed the digital block at $182,500. The Superleggera remains one of the most focused Gallardo variants produced, and the result reflects steady collector recognition of its place within the naturally aspirated V10 lineage. The classic segment delivered two noteworthy results. A numbers-matching, restored 1963 Jaguar XKE Series I Coupe hammered at $102,500, and a 1963 Chevrolet Corvette L84 with Rochester fuel injection crossed the digital block at $180,567. Both results confirm that correctly specified, documented examples of American and British classics from this era continue to find engaged collectors on the platform. A 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 3ZR with the ZTK Track Performance Package and just 8,000 miles on the odometer went under the hammer at $130,000, consistent with where well-specified C7 ZR1 examples have been trading as the generation matures into collectible status. Rounding out the week on Saturday, a 2024 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 3LZ crossed the digital block at $104,000 via the platform's dR Drop 3-Hour Auction format, a clean result for one of the most capable track-focused Corvettes in the current generation. *** All sale prices referenced in this article reflect hammer price and exclude Buyer's Premium. Upcoming Lots: Highlights <- Gallery -> The Guard’s Red 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder with the lightweight Weissach Package now enters its final two days of bidding at $2,820,000. Having been spotlighted in consecutive reports, this lot moves into its closing window. Collectors tracking it know what is at stake. The standout new entry in the current docket is a 2003 Lamborghini Murcielago with a 6-speed gated manual, consigned with documented ownership by actor Nicolas Cage, currently bid to $288,000 with 10 days remaining. The Murcielago was Lamborghini's first production model under Audi-VW ownership. Powered by a 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V12 producing 572 horsepower and paired with an Fabspeed exhaust system, the example seen here features a gated manual transmission that enthusiasts consistently regard as the definitive Murcielago driving experience. Celebrity provenance further adds a layer of narrative that few consignments can match, and 10 days of bidding remaining leaves significant room for the result to develop. A 2019 Porsche 911 Speedster with the Heritage Design Package, showing approximately 4,000 miles, is currently bid to $350,000 with three days remaining. Built across just 1,948 examples worldwide, as a celebration of the air-cooled Porsche lineage and featuring a distinctive twin-hump rear deck, the Speedster Heritage Edition is among the most collectible modern 911 variants produced. Further Porsche representation includes a 2025 911 GT3RS with 4,630 miles at $297,500, a 2023 718 Cayman GT4 RS with the Weissach Package in Paint-to-Sample or PTS Gulf Orange at $120,000, and a 2024 Boxster Spyder RS in PTS Gulf Orange at $88,500. The Viper segment is producing its own price discovery story this week. The 2016 ACR Extreme showing just 844 miles with the Extreme Aero Package leads at $301,000 with five days remaining. The 2014 Dodge Viper GTS, one of just 52 produced in Stryker Green, entered the docket at $2,000 and has already climbed to $102,000 with six days left. The 2017 GTS-R Final Edition, #5 of 100, entered at $1,000 and sits at $75,000. Three Vipers across three tiers of the model's hierarchy, all moving with conviction. Making its debut on the platform this week is a R35 2024 Nissan GT-R Skyline Edition, one of just 100 produced for the U.S. market and finished in Bayside Blue, currently bid to $96,500 with five days remaining. Bayside Blue was originally retired after the R34 Skyline GT-R before returning for select limited editions, making it one of the most historically significant colors in the GT-R lineage. With 2024 marking the final model year of the R35 for the U.S. market, this is among the last opportunities to acquire a new-specification, limited-edition GT-R at any price. The 2021 Ferrari SF90 Stradale with the Assetto Fiorano Package, showing approximately 5,400 miles. The Assetto Fiorano is the track-focused configuration of Ferrari's first series-production plug-in hybrid, adding carbon fiber components, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, and a titanium exhaust. At $278,000 with six days of bidding remaining, it represents a compelling entry point into Ferrari's current performance flagship.

Nicolas Cage's 2003 Lamborghini Murciélago Being Auctioned

Few Hollywood collectors have pursued exotic cars with the same intensity as Nicolas Cage. Over the years, the ‘Gone in 60 Seconds’ star’s garage has included Lamborghini Diablos, a Murciélago Roadster, a rare Lamborghini Miura SVJ once built for the Shah of Iran, and several Ferraris ranging from classics like the 250 GT Spyder to the mid-engine exotics like the Enzo, pre-war Bugattis, Porsches, Jaguars, and, of course, American muscle. Now one of his former Lamborghinis has come to market. A 2003 Murciélago previously owned by Cage is currently live on duPont REGISTRY Live, finished in Giallo Orion over a Nero Perseus and Giallo Taurus leather interior. Cage is one of the most recent owners of record, acquiring the car in October 2025 and selling it in February 2026 after a brief four-month ownership. The Murciélago arrived at a pivotal moment in Lamborghini history. Designed by Luc Donckerwolke and developed under Volkswagen Group ownership, it replaced the Diablo designed by the great Marcello Gandini, while ushering Lamborghini into a new era of engineering and global relevance. Despite modernized underpinnings, the Murciélago retained the raw character defining Lamborghini's V12 lineage: scissor doors, a naturally aspirated V12 mounted behind the cabin, all-wheel drive, and one of the most recognizable silhouettes of the era. This first-generation example carries one of the most desirable configurations on the platform: a factory 6-speed gated manual transmission. Lamborghini delivered approximately 316 examples in this specification to the United States between 2001 and 2006. Unlike later e-gear examples, the open-gate transmission adds a level of mechanical involvement that has made factory manual Murciélagos like this one increasingly desirable among serious collectors. <- Gallery -> The exterior features the Murciélago's signature deployable side air intakes, dual exhaust outlets, and multi-piece Speedline Corsa alloy wheels finished in silver, while inside, Nero Perseus leather is paired with bold Giallo Taurus accents across the seats, dashboard, and center console. The invoice trail runs through Lamborghini Las Vegas, where Cage brought the car immediately after purchase for a pre-purchase inspection and subsequently commissioned a comprehensive major service completed in February 2026 at 44,430 miles. The repair order totaled over $62,000 and covered a full clutch replacement, spark plugs, fuel and cabin filters, front and rear brake pads, serpentine belt, coolant hoses, fuel pressure regulators, full fluid services, and installation of an aftermarket Fabspeed exhaust system. As for the Murciélago itself, this is the sixth example to appear on duPont REGISTRY Live. The last car to close on the platform was the considerably rarer 1-of-26 2007 LP 640 Factory Gated Manual previously owned by YouTuber DDE, which hammered at $778,000. This earlier 6.2-liter coupe, though, is a different proposition altogether, and while the gated manual transmission and the Giallo paint connect both cars, it is the celebrity ownership that further elevates this example’s appeal. Currently sitting at $151,000, bidding is open through June 9, 2026. View Listing If you're interested in financing this car or another exotic car, be sure to get pre-qualified.

RUF RCT EVO Sweeps the Week as a Holy Trinity Hypercar Headlines the Upcoming Docket on duPont REGISTRY Live

The week ending May 23rd delivered several noteworthy results across 16 lots on duPont REGISTRY Live, led by consignments from the Porsche world. As we have noted in recent weeks, the German marque is consistently one of the top performers on the platform, and this week was no exception, headlined by a RUF EVO that crossed the seven-figure mark. Over recent months, the docket has reflected an increasingly diverse mix of automobiles, from mid-engined exotics to restomod off-roaders, all finding new owners. Here are the highlights from the past seven days and what to expect in the week ahead, including a Holy Trinity hypercar we spotlighted previously Lots Closed: Highlights The defining result was the 1994 RUF RCT EVO Wide Body, carrying a W09 VIN and numbers-matching specification, which entered last week's docket at a $4,000 opening bid and hammered at $983,000 ($1,032,150 with Buyer's Premium). The W09 designation identifies this as a factory-built RUF rather than a Porsche conversion, a distinction that carries significant weight among air-cooled collectors. Staying with Porsche, a 1995 911 Gunther Werks 400R Greenwich Commission, crossed the digital block at approximately $752,777. One of just 25 examples built to 400R specification, this is the car that set the Laguna Seca lap record for air-cooled Porsches, with professional racing driver Randy Pobst at the wheel. Other Porsche highlights that closed this week included a 2024 911 GT3 Touring at $247,000, a 2026 911 GTS Spirit 70 at $230,000, and a 2024 Targa 4 GTS at $196,000 via the platform's 2-Hour Flash Sale format. The 1993 Ferrari 512 TR Spider, documented as a 1-of-1 coachbuilt example with Saudi Royal Family provenance, went under the hammer at $650,000. The result affirms the premium commanded by extremely rare bespoke Spider configurations over coupe examples. For some context, the duPont REGISTRY Index (dRi) value for the 512 TR coupe is $255,000. The Gen-1 Ford GT is another mid-engine exotic to watch. A 2006 Ford GT with 3,315 original miles from a single owner crossed the block at $517,000, above its dRi Value of $476,150. Limited to just 4,038 examples, the first-generation Ford GT carried a sticker price of $140k when new (~$240k inflation adjusted). Sticking with mid-engined exotics, a 2014 Ferrari 458 Speciale in Bianco Avus hammered at $377,000 ($395,850 with Buyer's Premium). while a 2018 Lamborghini Huracan Performante with a 1,200-horsepower twin-turbo V10 went under the hammer at $272,000 ($285,600 with Buyer's Premium). On the restomod side, A 1972 Chevrolet K5 Blazer by Relic Custom hammered at $127,500, showing sustained demand on the platform for highly specified aftermarket builds. Upcoming Lots: Highlights <- Gallery -> Looking ahead, we have 16 exquisite automobiles in the docket, led by the first Porsche halo car to feature on the platform. A 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder showing 420 miles and specified with the lightweight Weissach Package. One of 918 produced and the closing chapter of Porsche's naturally aspirated hypercar era alongside the LaFerrari, and the McLaren P1, which also closed on duPont REGISTRY Live a week back at $2.3 million. This makes the 918 Spyder, the second holy trinity consignment on duPont REGISTRY Live. Weissach-equipped examples carry a premium over standard 918s, and this particular example, finished in Guard's Red, also carries factory Sonderwunsch options. Currently bid to $2,800,000 with nine days of bidding remaining, this lot carries meaningful upside. Beyond the 918, two Porsche 911 GT3 RS packing Mezger power are also watching closely: a 2010 GT3 RS (997.2) in Carrera White and Guards Red at $250,000 with seven days remaining, and a 2007 GT3 RS (997.1) black over orange example listed late yesterday and currently sitting at $100,000. A 2021 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT Black Series in AMG Magmabeam, showing 925 miles, is currently bidding to $303,500 with five days remaining. Last week's Project One result of $604,000 provides a useful reference, though differences in specifications will drive the final number. The 1992 Ferrari 512 TR finished in the rare Argento Metallizzato with a gated manual sits at $65,000 with six days remaining, offering a contrast to last week's 1-of-1 Spider that hammered at $682,500 and a more accessible entry into the 512 TR market. However, it is worth noting that this particular specification is extremely rare globally, and of the 2,200+ units, it is believed that only six silver examples were imported to the United States, with only three paired with the Nero interior, like this example. Expanding on classics, we have a meticulously restored 1963 Jaguar XKE Series I Coupe, a first for the platform currently bid to $45,000, and a 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Splitwindow L84 with Rochester fuel injection at $111,000, with three days of bidding left on both.
