Five-Piece German Heavy Metal Band Rocks Latest SOMO List...

Around the time that the Berlin Wall fell, Germany was pumping out some amazing cars that are just coming into their own as collectible classics. Offering a range of models from a variety of Germanic automotive giants, Sotheby’s Motorsport has a quintet of cool cars that offer some serious ‘kraftwerk’ that capture the essence of that 1980s, early ’90s zeitgeist and reflects the winds of change across Europe of the time. The five cars in this intriguing capsule collection are: 1988 BMW M3 Europameister 1982 Mercedes 500SL AMG 1996 BMW M3 Dinan Supercharged 1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 1993 Mercedes 500E The M3 Europameister is a one-of-148 examples, signed by BMW’s Italian racing star Roberto Ravaglia. This homologation special honors Ravaglia’s 1988 European Touring Car Championship title, which is one of the most sought-after editions of the entire E30 M3 catalog. Finished in Macao Blue Metallic over Silver leather, this really is a racing car that you can drive on the road, and its 2.3-liter engine is a genuine M Series classic. The other BMW on offer is a 1996 M3 that features a Dinan Stage 6 package, including a Vortech supercharger packed with performance goodies, transformed in-house by Dinan in 2001. It's finished in ‘Techno-violet’, which is uncommon for a ’96 model, as most of the purple cars were ‘Daytona violet’. It’s had many extras switched in over the years, making it a unique example. The earliest car in the collection is this 1982 Mercedes-Benz 500SL AMG 5.0, which exemplifies the performance-oriented engineering that defined pre-merger AMG. Finished in striking monochromatic black over a parchment leather interior, this SL showcases a rare blend of luxury and sportiness. Contrast that black beauty with a bright white Mercedes 500E from 1993. This model’s distinction is that it was created in close cooperation with Porsche, making it a best-of-both-marques model as Porsche engineered the fitment of the Merc’s five-liter V8 engine used in the SL. That made it the top-of-the-range model in the W124 series. A blue leather interior ensures the luxury to go with the horsepower, and its look is topped off by the 18-inch Evo-style wheels. The collection is rounded off by a 1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 2, finished in a vibrant Cobalt Blue over blue leather. Porsche’s 964-generation 911 (built from 1989-1994) marked a significant evolution in the iconic model’s lineage, blending classic design cues with Porsche’s engineering prowess. All five of these German performance cars have a decent mileage on them, so they’re ripe to be driven by real enthusiasts, allowing future owners to bring the autobahn to the interstate.

Rare 1-of-2 1980 Lamborghini Countach LP400 S Turbo For Sale

Unlike any other Countach you'll ever see. Commonly referred to as the ultimate poster car of the 80s, the Lamborghini Countach continues to age like fine wine while skyrocketing in the collector car market. And with the unfortunate passing of designer Marcello Gandini earlier this year, the Countach remains a timeless icon in Italian supercar engineering. The team of automotive historians at CURATED of Miami, FL is pleased to showcase this ultra-rare 1980 Lamborghini Countach LP400 S Turbo as part of its inventory of exclusive collector cars for sale on duPont REGISTRY. View Listing Chassis 1121160 began life in Sant'Agata as a 1980 Lamborghini Countach LP400 S Series II Low Body, perfectly embodying the bold design and performance DNA Lamborghini was known for. Originally delivered to Max Bobnar, Lamborghini’s Swiss importer, this example quickly became a piece of automotive history. It carries ties to some of Lamborghini’s most legendary figures—most notably, an iconic photograph of test driver Valentino Balboni and company founder Ferruccio Lamborghini posing with it, parked alongside the famous Walter Wolf Countach. Between 1980 and 1982, Bobnar had the Countach completely transformed by master technician Franz Albert, upgrading it into a twin-turbocharged beast. This version got a fresh metallic red paint job, red wheels, and bold new side skirts. The final iteration, completed around 1982, featured Turbo graphics and a pristine white leather interior. The result was a media icon, showcased in magazines worldwide and immortalized as an icon. Redefining what it meant to be a supercar in that era, the turbocharged Countach was unlike anything else on the road. This twin-turbo Countach remains one of the most legendary examples ever created, a bold statement that stands out even among Lamborghini’s wildest designs. Its transformation from the LP400 S to a turbocharged build is just one example of Lamborghini’s spirit of pushing limits.

Super Rare McLaren Sabre For Sale - 1 of 15 Created

An English hypercar made just for the USA. It was in December 2020 that McLaren surprised the world with the new Sabre hypercar. It seemed as though this new model came out of thin air, but it had actually been in the works for quite some time. What took many aback was the fact that the McLaren Sabre was homologated exclusively for the United States. That meant all 15 examples that were planned for production would only be found in the U.S. What we have here today is one of those 15 examples and it's for sale through O'Gara Coach. The McLaren Sabre example listed for sale is finished in a wild Pacific Colorstream with glossy carbon fiber across the exterior. While each of the Sabres created are incredible in their own special way, this example has to be the most distinct and unique of them all thanks to its paint. Inside is black Alcantara and glossy carbon fiber with trim that matches the exterior's Pacific Colorstream. From the cabin to the exterior, this Sabre is a stunner. Powering this rarity is McLaren’s most powerful non-hybrid twin-turbo V8 engine. This engine can produce 824 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. By having a top speed of 218 mph, the Sabre is actually the fastest two-seater, beating out the P1 by 1 mph.
