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

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

Kimi Antonelli Makes History in Mexico City to Become F1’s Youngest-Ever World Champion at 20

Andrea Kimi Antonelli clinched the 2026 Formula 1 Drivers’ Championship at the Mexico City Grand Prix on Sunday, becoming the youngest world champion in the sport’s history at 20 years and 68 days. The Mercedes-AMG Petronas driver finished third at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodríguez, with four Grands Prix remaining this season. Antonelli succeeds McLaren’s Lando Norris, who secured his first World Drivers’ Championship in 2025. The Italian driver also takes one of Formula 1’s longest-standing age records from Sebastian Vettel, who was 23 years and 134 days old when he won his first title with Red Bull back in 2010. Vettel himself had taken the mark from Lewis Hamilton driving for McLaren-Mercedes, the 2008 champion, and held it for 16 years. “Only very few of us have managed to achieve that, and nobody has done it as young as you,” - Sebastian Vettel, four-time Formula 1 World Champion, via a video message on Instagram. Antonelli started fourth on the grid, and finished behind Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and Ferrari’s Hamilton, who had secured his first Grand Prix pole for Ferrari on Saturday and his first since 2023 at the Hungaroring. In Mexico City this past weekend, Antonelli needed only two points or ninth place to settle the driver’s championship. The race featured an early battle between the Ferraris upfront, multiple penalties, Safety Cars and a red flag after Cadillac’s Valtteri Bottas crashed into the barriers on Lap 44. While it left Antonelli fourth for the standing restart, he quickly passed Charles Leclerc into Turn 1 to take third and return to one of the podium positions on the afternoon when he would secure the title. Antonelli now leads with 380 points after 19 rounds, 119 clear of Verstappen and 121 ahead of Hamilton. He has won nine Grands Prix this season, including five of the opening six, while Mercedes has claimed 12 of 19 between Antonelli and George Russell. <- Gallery -> Antonelli’s nine victories set a new single-season record for an Italian driver, surpassing the previous benchmark of six set by the great Alberto Ascari in 1952, which, for context, is 74 years ago. Antonelli is also the first Italian world champion since Ascari in 1953 and only the third overall, following Giuseppe Farina and Ascari. His record-breaking season began long before Mexico, and it has been a long streak of records. Born on August 25, 2006, Antonelli is also the first Formula 1 world champion born in the 21st century. Antonelli became the youngest Grand Prix pole-sitter in China at 19 years, six months and 18 days. That too was a record he took from Vettel, 21 years, 2 months and 11 days driving for Toro Rosso back in 2008, driving for Toro Rosso at the time. Antonelli subsequently also became the youngest driver to lead the World Championship after winning in Japan this year. His early-season dominance made him the first rookie-era driver to challenge the sport's highest tier so rapidly. In Monaco, Antonelli became the youngest driver to complete a Grand Slam by taking pole, setting the fastest lap, leading every lap, and winning. He also charged from 19th on the grid to win the Italian Grand Prix this year, becoming the first Italian to do so since 1966. This follows his rookie 2025 season when he secured a brilliant Sprint pole in Miami at 18, taking another record from Vettel. "What Kimi has achieved today is extraordinary. To become Formula 1 World Champion at 20 years old, and to do it in only his second season, is a remarkable achievement. But what makes me most proud is not the record or the statistics, it is the journey he has been on to get here" - Toto Wolff, Team Principal & CEO - Team Principal and CEO of the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team With the driver’s world championship now concluded, the grid now heads to Interlagos for the São Paulo Grand Prix from November 6 to 8, followed by Las Vegas, Qatar, and the season closing out in Abu Dhabi next month. The Constructors’ Title is still up for grabs, with Mercedes in the lead with 630 points, ahead of Ferrari on 504, and Red Bull on 380. Images: Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1

F1 Diamond Jubilee Thriller: Lando Norris Wins British GP...

2025 marks 75 years since the inaugural Formula 1 World Championship began, and while F1 had precursor races between 1946 and 49, 1950 is officially when the start of the World Championship era truly began, and Silverstone was the first ever race. Fitting, then, that this historic circuit, once again, delivered an epic race today, one that saw a British driver, Lando Norris, triumph on home soil. Another big moment, Nico Hülkenberg, finally earned a long-overdue podium. Add in championship leader, Oscar Piastri’s penalty, Max Verstappen’s dramatic spin, and classic British summer weather, and you truly had a race worthy of the sport’s diamond jubilee. From the moment the lights went out, chaos reigned as the track was only dry-ish with polesitter Verstappen leading the field away. While George Russell and Charles Leclerc gambled early on slicks, the track was still treacherous in the final sector. Up ahead, by the time the first drops of rain hit the tarmac under race conditions, the Aussie wasted no time snatching the lead from the reigning champion on lap 8, just before conditions deteriorated considerably. As showers intensified by lap 11, strategy came into play. Lance Stroll and Hülkenberg made the decisive call to bolt on fresh intermediates, a move that would pay massive dividends to climb up the order. On lap 14, the first Safety Car of the race was deployed, bunching up the field and erasing Piastri’s advantage. Then came a major flashpoint. Isack Hadjar rear-ended Kimi Antonelli on the first restart on lap 18, a consequence of a soaked track and poor visibility from the spray, bringing out the safety car again. In a dramatic turn of events, upon the second restart on lap 21, Verstappen spun on cold tires and dropped from second to ninth. But most notably, Piastri was handed a 10-second penalty for slowing down dramatically before leading the pack away from that second Safety Car. By lap 30, Lewis Hamilton in P6 began his surge into contention, thrilling the home crowd in his first British Grand Prix with the Scuderia. With 15 podiums at Silverstone, including nine wins, Hamilton who is also a wet-weather champion, remains unmatched at this venue. But a small off-track moment after his final stop saw the hopes of adding a 16th fade away. Meanwhile, Hülkenberg, who by the way started P19, was driving the race of his life. The German driver, who at age 37 is also one of the oldest on the grid, capitalized on the chaos, nailed his strategy, and used DRS to snatch third place from Lance Stroll on Lap 35. He would then hold off Hamilton, all the way up to the closing stages of the 52-lap race. After 239 Grand Prix, Hülkenberg finally became a Formula 1 podium finisher in P3, with Hamilton crossing the line in fourth. Up ahead, as Piastri served his penalty during his final stop, teammate Norris took the lead. The Brit kept his cool and managed to keep Piastri at bay, finishing 6.812 seconds ahead of the Aussie when the chequered flag dropped, for a spectacular McLaren 1-2 finish. After round 12 of the 2025 season, Piastri continues to lead the championship with 234 points and an eight-point advantage over Norris’ 226. Verstappen is third and has a lot of ground to cover with 165 points as we head to Spa-Francochamps next.

We’re just days away from F1: The Movie roaring into theaters and just a week after the star-studded world premiere in New York, transformed the heart of Times Square into a high-octane pit lane with much of the current F1 grid and a of A-listers in attendance, it was London’s turn to roll out the red carpet for the film’s European premiere. After all, the U.K. isn’t just home to legendary circuits like Silverstone, but the spiritual birthplace of Formula 1 itself. The first official World Championship Grand Prix was held there in 1950, and today, eight of the ten F1 teams are headquartered in Britain. Leicester Square in the heart of the British capital, lit up with stars from the worlds of motorsport, music, tech, and Hollywood, including one of the biggest of them all, Tom Cruise. The actor, known for pulling off his own death-defying stunts, made a surprise appearance to lend his support for the film, electrifying an already charged British crowd. View this post on Instagram A post shared by FORMULA 1® (@f1) Cruise posed with longtime collaborator Jerry Bruckheimer, director Joseph Kosinski, Brad Pitt, and F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali. (Kosinski and Bruckheimer, notably, also teamed up with Cruise for Top Gun: Maverick.)

While we've seen Cruise in everything from F14 Tom Cats to fast bikes and cars, he notably" title="YouTube video" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen> As for F1: The Movie, it features Brad Pitt as veteran racer Sonny Hayes and Damson Idris as rising rookie Joshua Pearce, competing for the fictional APEX GP team. The film was shot on real Grand Prix weekends at tracks like Spa, Silverstone, and Abu Dhabi, with minimal CGI. Pitt and Idris drove the cars themselves, specially modified Formula 2 chassis wrapped by Mercedes-AMG to resemble F1 cars, often at speeds approaching 180 mph. Apple Original Films, in partnership with Warner Bros., backed the project, and Apple’s Senior VP of Services, Eddy Cue, revealed that iPhone cameras mounted directly on the cars captured some of the film’s most immersive moments. The film’s soundtrack is equally star-studded. The likes of Ed Sheeran, Tate McRae, Peggy Gou, Ray, and Hans Zimmer all contributed to the music, all of whom attended the premiere. On the acting front, Kerry Condon and Sarah Niles were praised for portraying women in high-performance technical roles. Seven-time F1 world champion, Sir Lewis Hamilton, who is also a co-producer of the film, wanted to ensure racing authenticity in the film and revealed in an interview that he’d be on Zoom calls on Mondays, post-race weekend, going over every line of the script in detail. His mission was to make F1: The Movie the most authentic racing film ever made. We won’t have to wait long to find out. The film opens in theaters internationally on June 25 and in North America on June 27, with an IMAX experience built to match the adrenaline of the sport itself.

How LEGO Built 10 Drivable Life-Size F1 Cars We Saw At Th...

Despite the overcast skies, Miami put up quite a spectacle for the inaugural round of the U.S. leg of the 2025 season. However, even before all the drama unfolded on the racetrack, fans arriving at the Grand Prix were met with an unexpected surprise: 10 life-size, drivable LEGO F1 cars. With both drivers of each team seated in the cockpit, this time one behind the other, we saw each car complete a lap of the 3.36-mile circuit. The LEGO Group, which partnered with F1 and all 10 teams on the grid, showcased these unique 1:1 scale builds during the " title="YouTube video" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen> Each LEGO F1 car takes inspiration from the company’s Speed Champion series, a popular line of scaled-down motorsport models. https://twitter.com/autosport/status/1919122339322548711 But unlike the actual F1 Grand Prix car that weighs just under 1,800 pounds, these LEGO cars, made up of nearly 400,000 bricks and mechanical components, weigh twice as much, coming in at 3,300 pounds. Besides the colorful liveries and detailed sponsor decals across all 10 models, each car was fitted with Pirelli soft-compound tires. Top Speed? 12.4 mph. Pulling off this spectacle took a coordinated effort, requiring a massive undertaking from a team of 26 specialists at LEGO’s Klando factory in the Czech Republic. Taking design, engineering, and assembly into consideration, each car took 22,000 hours to complete. Drivers were particularly enthusiastic to take these race cars out on track conditions that still looked damp. During the drivers parade, we saw track action in the form of gentle nudges with no real pecking order. Following their Miami debut, expect the LEGO F1 cars to show up at more Grand Prix races throughout the season, as they’re about to embark on a global tour.
