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.

Rare Low-Mileage Single-Seat BAC Mono Available For Sale on duPont REGISTRY

Where most supercars chase outright numbers, the BAC Mono prioritizes something harder to quantify: the sensation of legally driving a formula-style car on public roads. Limited Spec Automotive is offering this 2023 example on duPont REGISTRY, finished in white with exposed-carbon sections, purple and yellow accents, with just 576 miles on the odometer. British marque Briggs Automotive Company (BAC) places the driver on the centerline in a formula-style seating position. The Mono range has evolved for more than a decade since the original arrived in 2011. This example belongs to the new-generation Mono unveiled at Monterey Car Week, distinguished from earlier cars by its cleaner, less visually complicated shark-nose front end and centrally mounted LED headlights. The single-seat layout allows BAC to package the car’s major hardware close to its longitudinal axis, concentrating mass near the centerline and minimizing frontal area. A compartment beneath the nose even provides enough room for a helmet. Sitting behind the cockpit is a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder that produces 311 horsepower, with a six-speed, motorsport-derived sequential manual transmission sending all power to the rear wheels. Now that might not sound like much, but at approximately 1,257 pounds, the Mono delivers an exceptional power-to-weight ratio of 546 horsepower per metric ton. That figure outstrips many comparable supercars carrying two or three times its horsepower, because the Mono simply refuses to carry the weight they do. What you end up with is an enthusiast-friendly analog driving experience that is becoming increasingly uncommon in the modern era, and since this is a roadster, it further adds to the drama. <- Gallery -> Carbon-fiber panels, lightweight wheels, AP Racing brakes, Öhlins dampers, and bespoke Pirelli tires make the Mono a genuine featherweight, essentially packing race-bred hardware for the road. The BAC, in fact, sits in the same rarefied category as the Caterham Seven and KTM X-Bow, but its central driving position and exceptional power-to-weight ratio set it apart. The Mono, in fact, even features on our list of cars built around a central driving position. Every Mono is effectively bespoke, hand-built in Liverpool, England, in tiny annual numbers, with total production numbers just over 150 units worldwide since the Mono launched in 2011. These cars seldom come to market, and this particular example is among just two low-mileage Monos currently listed by Limited Spec Automotive.

Elferspot Spotlight: A Le Mans-Era 904, a Signal Yellow SC Targa and a 230,000 km GT3 RS

Elferspot tends to be at its best when the selection refuses to make a neat argument, and this round is about as broad as the marketplace gets. The Porsche-focused platform pulls collector-grade cars from dealers, specialists and private sellers across Europe and North America, and the three we picked this time sit at wildly different ends of the hobby. One is a seven-figure sports racing car with FIA papers. One is a usable G-Series Targa in a factory color you have probably never seen on one. The third is a modern RS with more miles on it than most family sedans ever see. What ties them together is that each one gets its identity from something other than presentation. The 904 has a competition file and a factory repair history. The SC has a Paint to Sample order sheet. The GT3 RS has fifteen documented dealer services and an odometer that most sellers would rather not talk about. Three cars, three completely different arguments for why a Porsche is worth owning. GALLERY-EMBED This $2.6 million Porsche 904 raced Reims, the Tour de France and Goodwood. Chassis 904-083 is interesting long before the USD 2,600,000 asking price enters the conversation. It went to French Porsche distributor Sonauto in April 1964 and then spent its early years being raced, hard, by Claude Barbier, Valentin Aldy and Cyr Febbraio, turning up at the 12 Hours of Reims, the Rallye des Ardennes and the Tour de France. Animoya Garage in Pontiac, Michigan, now offers the silver Carrera GTS with its FIA Historical Technical Passport and a continuous ownership record backed by period photographs and paperwork. Historic use continued well past the sixties, including outings at the Goodwood Revival and Tour Auto. That competition life is also why 083 is not an untouched early 904, and the listing is upfront about it. After an accident the car went back to the factory, which fitted a replacement chassis and body while retaining the engine, gearbox and running gear. It then took on the later Series 2 updates, and the seller states that only ten cars were converted in period. The fiberglass body was sympathetically restored in the 1990s after decades in Germany. The matching-numbers two-liter four-cam engine and gearbox are still with the car, though a 904/6 specification six-cylinder is currently installed so the car can be driven and competed while the original unit is preserved separately. Worth remembering what the 904 represented: it was Porsche's first production model with a fiberglass-reinforced plastic body and a key step toward the purpose-built mid-engined racers that followed. Buy this one for the history file, not for originality-purist bragging rights. View Listing GALLERY-EMBED Was this the only Porsche 911 SC Targa painted Signal Yellow? Color changes an SC Targa more than it has any right to, especially when the color came from the factory. This 1982 Canadian-delivery car was ordered Paint to Sample in Signal Yellow 1YH over black leatherette, and Scan Automotive in North Vancouver believes it may be the only SC Targa built in that shade. Take that claim as the dealer's read rather than documented fact, but the PTS order itself is the part that matters, and it gives the car an identity the moment you walk up to it. Three owners, matching numbers, 135,200 kilometers, USD 94,000. The order sheet had more on it than the paint. A 930 rear spoiler was specified from new and still comes with the car, although a standard engine lid is fitted at the moment. Silver 15-inch Fuchs, a stainless Targa bar and chrome brightwork give it an odd and rather appealing mix of late G-Series mechanicals with earlier visual cues. Changes since delivery are minor and easy to undo: a Momo Prototipo wheel, a Bluetooth-capable radio, Rest-of-World rear bumperettes. Mechanically, this is the mature SC, the 3.0-liter in its final 204 PS European specification with a manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive, up from 180 PS and then 188 PS earlier in the run. The one thing missing is paperwork. The listing does not publish a detailed service chronology, and at this money you would want to see one. This is a driver's G-Series Targa with an unusual order sheet, not a preservation-grade car, and it is priced and presented accordingly. View Listing GALLERY-EMBED 143,000 Miles in a GT3 RS? Porsche still gave it an approved warranty. Almost every 991 GT3 RS listing opens with how little the car has been used. This Lava Orange example does the opposite and leads with 230,884 kilometers, which is roughly 143,000 miles in a car most owners treat as a weekend appointment. Jurjens Automotive in Meppel, the Netherlands, is asking EUR 129,900. Two owners, accident-free, matching numbers, and here is the part that makes it work: every recorded service was carried out by authorized Porsche dealers, and the car is still covered by Porsche Approved warranty through April 2027. The service file is what turns that odometer reading from alarming into genuinely compelling. Fifteen Porsche dealer visits are listed between January 2016 and May 2025, starting at 10 kilometers and running through 219,991. The specification is serious too, with PCCB ceramic brakes, front-axle lift, rear-axle steering, PASM, Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus, carbon buckets, the Clubsport Package, Sport Chrono, black PDLS+ LED headlights and a lot of carbon trim, currently on Pirelli P Zero Corsa N2 tires. Underneath it all is the first-generation 991 RS package as Porsche launched it in 2015: naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six, 500 PS, seven-speed PDK, magnesium roof, carbon body panels, 918 Spyder-derived buckets, 3.3 seconds to 100 km/h. Be clear-eyed about what high mileage does to resale on a car like this, because the next buyer will price it the same way you are. But if you want an RS to drive rather than store, this is the one in the market that has already proven the concept works. View Listing

The Best Luxury Convertibles For Sale

There’s no doubt that automotive enthusiasts view driving as something more meaningful than simply getting from Point A to Point B. However, there’s nothing quite like the experience of driving a convertible with the top down when it comes to turning a drive into an indulgent experience.

Currently, brands like Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Porsche, and more offer convertibles. However, even more manufacturers sold convertibles in the past that are now on the second-hand market. Is a hard-top or soft-top convertible better? That depends on your driving needs. Hard top convertibles are often chosen for performance-focused enthusiasts who may want to drive their car at a track day. In addition, soft top convertibles were long considered a compromise, not offering the structural rigidity and noise reduction of a coupe, and hard-top convertibles offered a solution by being closer to their coupe counterparts. However, soft-top convertibles offer more compact and quicker folding, added style from different fabric roof options, and have evolved to offer greater structural rigidity, performance capability, and noise insulation than before.

72-Mile 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Package For Sale

Broad Arrow Private Sales continues to build on its momentum within the collector car market, offering clients a discreet platform through which to transact the most significant examples. With an emphasis on providing clients straightforward advice in the representation of their cars, Broad Arrow Private Sales has realized exceptional growth with over $280 million in total transaction value in 2025 alone. It is against this backdrop that Broad Arrow Private Sales is pleased to bring to market a remarkable example—a modern collector’s item. Preserved in virtually new condition with only 72 miles at the time of cataloging, Broad Arrow Private Sales presents LFA Number 488, one of just 64 hand-assembled examples optioned with the highly desirable Nürburgring Package. Finished in Whitest White with BBS Forged Graphite Wheels, and powered by the renowned 4.8-liter, 40-valve Yamaha-tuned V10, it is the most collectible Japanese supercar of the modern era. Although Lexus had acquired an enviable reputation for producing high-quality, four-door saloon cars, by the late 1990s Akio Toyoda, then CEO of Lexus’s parent company Toyota, was seeking to enhance the company’s rather staid image by entering the all-important supercar market. After an extensive nine-year design and development phase, the resulting Lexus LFA was finally revealed at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show; its long-awaited and highly impressive technical specification instantly rendering it one of the stars of the show. The LFA featured an intricate carbon fiber monocoque structure to which aluminum front and rear subframes were attached; the front suspension being via conventional double wishbones and the rear via a multi-link arrangement. All four corners were equipped with race-developed, remote-reservoir KYB dampers, each reputedly costing $9,500, whereas Brembo six-piston front and four- pot rear monobloc calipers worked in conjunction with carbon ceramic discs and an advanced brake-by-wire system to address the car’s considerable braking requirements. However, at the heart of the LFA was a technical tour de force: the brilliant 1LR-GUE engine. Employing numerous lessons learned from Toyota’s newly redundant V10 Formula 1 engine program, Lexus developed a 4.8-liter, 40-valve V10 in conjunction with Yamaha; the resulting unit producing some 552 horsepower at 8,700 rpm and a similarly impressive maximum torque figure of 354 lb-ft at 6,800 rpm. Constructed from a combination of aluminum, magnesium and titanium alloys, the “GUE” was a masterpiece of packaging, boasting smaller external dimensions than a V8 unit of comparable output, yet weighing no more than most conventional V6 engines. Featuring ultra-lightweight internal components, including impossibly expensive forged titanium connecting rods, the unit generated minimal inertia; its resulting throttle response more akin to many high-specification racing engines than a road-going powerplant. Unusually for a road car, the LFA featured dry-sump lubrication which enabled the engine to be fitted with a shallower sump and was therefore located lower in the chassis. Its oil cooler was located in the “valley” of its 72-degree V angle, while a harmonically managed titanium exhaust system ensured that the resulting scream, particularly as the engine approached its 9,000 rpm limit, was entirely unlike any other supercar exhaust note. Of the 500 LFAs constructed, just 64 were configured with the $70,000 ultimate-specification Nürburgring option package; the designation both a reference to the hat-trick of class wins by the LFA in the fabled Nürburgring 24 Hours between 2008 and 2010, and the circuit which had proved instrumental in the car’s development. Although Nürburgring Package cars boasted a modest power increase to 563 horsepower and a reduction in gearshift times of their six-speed, semi-automatic transmission, the real focus of the package was reduced weight, optimized suspension set up and greater aerodynamic efficiency. Some 200 pounds were saved relative to the standard car, while numerous carbon fiber aerodynamic devices, such as a fixed, as opposed to retractable, rear wing, a front splitter and front-mounted turning vanes were fitted to improve handling. The resulting performance was predictably spectacular, with its top speed of 201 mph and a zero to 60 mph time of just 3.7 seconds being instrumental in the LFA lapping the mythical Nürburgring in just 7:14.64, in August 2011; a figure which remained unbeaten for almost three years until it was usurped by the mighty Porsche 918 Spyder. This 2012 Lexus LFA is one is one of only 25 U.S. market examples that boasts the coveted $70,000 Nürburgring package. Interestingly, the original window sticker lists an additional $70,500 for its Nürburgring Serial Plate number 488 creating an impressive MSRP with over $141,000 in options. This LFA is finished in Whitest White, one of only a handful of USA market Nürburgring Editions delivered in this color. Its exterior appearance is enhanced with BBS Forged Graphite wheels that enclose Red-finished brake calipers. The cockpit boasts an elegant two-tone arrangement consisting of white trim contrasted with Red seats, headliner, carpets, and steering wheel grips. According to its clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report, this exceptionally rare LFA was delivered new to Lexus of Riverside in California, and was sold in January 2013 to its first owner. The LFA was next acquired in August 2017 and moved to Ohio, before eventually entering the care of the Arizona-based seller in February 2019. Over the past seven years, this example has remained in collector-grade care and is offered today with a mere 72 miles from new, 23 of which were recorded on a pre-delivery test drive according to a letter from Toyota's Motomachi Quality Control Division. It is appointed with its original delivery items including owner’s books in their leather pouch, LFA vehicle delivery certificate, first aid kit, LFA branded car cover bag, three keys, and original window sticker preserved in a photo frame. In addition, this example is furnished with a detailed history file under current ownership containing several invoices from Lexus of Chandler in Arizona. The Lexus LFA is already revered as one of the defining Japanese supercars of the modern era, the howl of its exhaust note alone echoing through the halls of automotive excellence. However, the LFA reaches its ultimate expression with the coveted Nürburgring Package; instantly identifiable by its purposeful aerodynamic enhancements and developed with direct input from the world’s most demanding circuit. Preserved in virtually factory-new condition with a mere 72 miles at cataloging, this extraordinary example is among the finest extant and will definitively elevate any world-class collection. Whether you're considering this exceptional Lexus LFA or searching for your next collector car, the Broad Arrow Private Sales team offers trusted guidance, market insight, and a personalized approach to every acquisition.

Elferspot Spotlight: A Restored 993, a Preserved 356, and a Manual Boxster S

Elferspot has a habit of lining up cars that share almost nothing and letting the range itself be the story. That is what this spotlight does. The Porsche-focused marketplace pulls collector-grade cars from dealers, specialists, and private sellers across Europe and the US, and the three we picked this time cover more than fifty years of the brand, three very different price points, and three completely different reasons to buy. One is a fully restored wide-body air-cooled 911 in a color made for the 993. One is an unusually original early 356 with a family history and a movie to go with it. And one is a preserved, manual, limited-edition Boxster S that costs a fraction of the other two. Air-cooled icon, historical centerpiece, accessible wildcard. GALLERY-EMBED 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S The 993 Carrera 4S is one of the most recognizable shapes in the air-cooled catalog, and this German-delivered 1995 example wears it well. Finished in Arena Red Metallic over full Classic Gray leather, it carries the wide Turbo body, the Turbo braking system and the continuous rear reflector, but with the 285-horsepower naturally aspirated 3.6-liter flat-six, all-wheel drive and none of the Turbo's fixed wing. It has covered 138,500 kilometers across three owners, it is matching numbers, and BEMA Vitesse is offering it in Saint-Michel-sur-Orge, France for EUR 124,980. The color and the proportions do the hooking here. Arena Red over gray is about as 993 as a color combination gets. What gives the listing weight beyond the paint is the work behind it. After the current owner bought the car in 2020 it went through an extensive mechanical and cosmetic restoration, with the engine and transmission pulled, the clutch, shocks, hoses and belts replaced, the braking system rebuilt with new discs, pads and lines, and several suspension components renewed. The body was fully repainted, the wheels refinished, and the glass, headlights and exterior trim replaced, all backed by invoices from late 2020. Factory specification runs to the M033 sports chassis, M220 limited-slip differential, ABD, heated electric comfort seats and even the original CR-21 radio. Be clear-eyed about what this is. It is a fully prepared, repainted 4S rather than an untouched preservation car, which is exactly the point for a buyer who would rather someone else had already spent the money. View Listing GALLERY-EMBED 1953 Porsche 356 Pre-A 1500 “Number 27” If the 4S is the recognizable one, this is the car with the story. It is a 1953 356 Pre-A 1500, a bent-window coupé finished in beige over beige cloth, and it is known as Number 27. Sold new on November 4, 1953 by Jack McAfee Motors in Los Angeles, it went to Gordon Sheldon, a draftsman for Boeing and Rocketdyne who used it as a family daily driver and ran it in time trials and rallies. He was the 27th member of the Porsche Owners Club, which is where the cast-aluminum 27 plate that still travels with the car comes from, along with a pair of period autocross flags. The car stayed in the family from new until 2016, was parked in 1974, and spent the decades since in dry California storage. Its history was documented in the 2018 film 27, which reunited it with Sheldon's wife Lois. It is offered privately in Islip, New York for USD 250,000. The appeal here is continuity rather than concours. The body tub retains its original sheet metal with no stated panel, rust or accident repair, the car is matching numbers throughout, and even the original 16-inch wheels survive, kept aside on period tires while reproduction wheels carry it today. More than a thousand hours went into a documented mechanical recommissioning, logged through typed work sheets and receipts, and the car still comes with its manuals, tool kit, jack, measuring stick and period literature. The 1.5-liter flat-four makes just 55 horsepower, but output was never the point of a car like this. What matters is that this is a Pre-A, built before Porsche revised the 356 into the A, with the narrow body, bent windshield and early interior to prove it, and a paper trail almost no survivor of this age can match. This is the historical centerpiece of the group, and the one with real feature potential. View Listing GALLERY-EMBED 2009 Porsche Boxster S Porsche Design Edition 2 Every good spotlight needs a car you could actually reach, and this is it. The 2009 Boxster S Porsche Design Edition 2 was a limited-run appearance package built on the 987-generation Boxster S, and this one is finished in the Carrara White that anchored the Edition 2's monochromatic look. It is a proper enthusiast specification too. The 3.4-liter naturally aspirated flat-six, 303 horsepower, rear-wheel drive and a six-speed manual, with no automatic to dilute it. First registered in April 2009, it has covered 56,863 kilometers and is offered by dls automobile in Fellbach, Germany for EUR 52,987, which puts it in a completely different room from the other two. The dealer describes it as fully documented, accident-free and free from any repainting, garage-kept, never smoked in and never used through winter or in bad weather, with no deferred maintenance and a condition it rates as close to new. Take the broad strokes rather than the superlatives. There are no individual service dates, no ownership sequence and no detailed option list quoted, so the honest hook is the preservation and the original paint, not a provenance file. On that basis it still makes a strong case. A limited-edition, manual, naturally aspirated Boxster S in original paint and clearly cared-for condition, for under EUR 55,000, is the kind of smart classic that tends to look obvious a few years later.

2021 Marc Philipp Gemballa MARSIEN For Sale - #21 of 40

Serving as a trusted advisor, bringing decades of experience in the market to every transaction, Broad Arrow Private Sales gives clients a discreet platform through which to offer their collector cars. Broad Arrow Private Sales has brought to market some of the most significant collector cars, realizing over $280 million in total transaction value in 2025 alone. Continuing to build on that momentum, Broad Arrow is pleased to present a truly special limited-production modern supercar. Few names command greater reverence in the world of Porsche tuning than Gemballa. Its 45-year-long story is filled with performance records, intrigue, and above all: a vast roster of unique high-performance interpretations of Stuttgart’s finest sports cars. In 2021, Marc Philipp Gemballa embarked on a new chapter, honoring the legacy of his late father Uwe Gemballa, while establishing a distinct vision of his own. His inaugural creation was the aptly named the Marc Philipp Gemballa MARSIEN, a bespoke all-terrain adventure supercar based on the formidable 992-generation 911 Turbo S. Its new carbon fiber bodywork, penned by Alan Derosier, combined the elegant design language of the contemporary 911 with the unmistakable rear silhouette of the 959—taking particular inspiration from the Rothmans-liveried Group B 959s that conquered the Paris-Dakar Rally in 1986. Its extra-terrestrial title was equally intentional, referencing the Martian-red sands of the Al Faya Desert in the United Arab Emirates where the MARSIEN was rigorously tested. The 911 Turbo S’ twin-turbocharged 3.7-liter flat-six was entrusted to RUF Automobile, who increased output to a formidable 740 horsepower and 686 lb-ft of torque. Beneath the sculpted bodywork, a bespoke KW Automotive suspension featuring double wishbones up front and a multi-link rear axle endowed the MARSIEN with remarkable versatility, offering 4.7 inches of standard ground clearance and the ability to raise electronically to nearly 10 inches for genuine off-road exploration. Production of the MARSIEN was limited to just 40 examples worldwide, with the car offered here representing the 21st such example completed. Beginning as a U.S. market 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo S delivered new to Porsche Westlake in Thousand Oaks, California, the Turbo S was sold to its only owner in January of 2021, who promptly commissioned its Paris-Dakar transformation with Marc Philipp Gemballa on 23 July of that year. Its original invoice, which boasts €135.024 of premium options, is highlighted by the Al Faya Pearl White Effect finish—a Special Limited exterior paint applied to only five examples total. This exclusive finish is supplemented with Gloss Finished, Tinted Exposed Carbon Fiber Top Stripes as well as the Exposed Carbon Fiber Exterior Package in Tinted Blue and sporting a matte finish. This MARSIEN also features 935/RSR-style mirrors and contrasting Blue-painted brake calipers. The cockpit is swaddled in Dark Gray Alcantara with Blue accents and further elevated with the Exposed Carbon Fiber Interior Package (Matte Finish) that extends to its Club Sport rollbar and Original Porsche Carbon Fiber Bucket Seats. This example has been additionally equipped with the RUF Engine Upgrade, delivering 830 horsepower thanks to uprated VTG turbochargers and a new ECU mapping. With these upgrades, the car can sprint from zero-to-60 mph in 2.8 seconds and to a top speed of 208 mph. In October 2025, the MARSIEN was sent to Impero Motorsports to receive a full application of Paint Protection Film and was subsequently serviced that December at Beverly Hills Porsche according to invoices on file. More recently in May 2026, the car benefitted from more than $10,000 of work performed by Porsche specialists Paradox Performance (formerly E-Motion Engineering) in Costa Mesa—which includes performing a corner balance, alignment, and sorting for the boutique limited-production supercar. Offered now with just 4,699 miles at cataloging, this 2021 Marc Philipp Gemballa MARSIEN is perhaps one of the most imaginative and exclusive modern supercars yet conceived. It is equally comfortable devouring a winding mountain pass, traversing vast desert expanses such as those it was developed on, or taking pride of place within a world-class collection. With production extraordinarily limited and fewer than a handful known to reside in the U.S., this is a true unicorn on virtually any road, trail, or concours lawn it encounters. Connect with Broad Arrow Private Sales to discuss this Marc Philipp Gemballa MARSIEN or discover how their experienced team can help you source, acquire, or sell your next collector car through a private sale.

Rare Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale in Giallo Modena For Sale at Graham Rahal Performance

The Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale started a bloodline and is widely regarded as Ferrari's first modern lightweight V8 special; it established the formula later developed by the likes of the 430 Scuderia, 458 Speciale, and 488 Pista. Now, a 2004 example finished in Giallo Modena and showing 14,487 miles is being offered by Graham Rahal Performance through duPont REGISTRY. The Challenge Stradale was based on the 360 Modena, the Pininfarina-designed successor to the Ferrari F355. Originally unveiled at the 2003 Geneva Motor Show, during the glorious Luca di Montezemolo and Michael Schumacher era, when the Italian marque was channeling its Formula 1 dominance into increasingly focused road cars. In full lightweight specification achieved through extensive use of carbon fiber and a lightweight Lexan polycarbonate engine cover, the track-focused model was 110 kilograms, or 240 pounds lighter than the standard 360 Modena. Engineers also sharpened the suspension and aerodynamics (50% more than the standard 360 Modena), installed carbon-ceramic brakes, and recalibrated the F1 automated manual transmission. The result: 0-60 mph in ~4.0 seconds with a top speed of 186 mph and a Fiorano lap time of 1 minute 28 seconds, which is 3.0 seconds quicker than the 360 Modena coupe. Its 3.6-liter naturally aspirated V8 produces 425 horsepower and delivers what remains one of Ferrari's most celebrated and evocative V8 soundtracks. While Ferrari has never confirmed final production numbers, registries generally place the total between 1,288 and 1,300 cars. Estimates suggest approximately 353 were built to U.S. specification and around 378 for North America. No official color breakdown exists either. Registry data indicates that approximately 90 to 110 cars were finished in Giallo Modena worldwide, with an estimated 20 to 30 U.S. examples. With most Challenge Stradales finished in the popular Rosso Corsa red, Giallo Modena, like the example seen here, remains one of the rarer specifications. To add to this car's rarity, most 360 Challenge Stradales came with the optional central stripe with the Italian Tricolore, which this car doesn't have. Also, unlike the standard 360 Modena, which was offered with a gated manual transmission, every Challenge Stradale left the factory with Ferrari's F1 automated manual transmission, making it an ideal candidate for an aftermarket conversion amid the growing popularity of analog-era exotics that offer three pedals. Some cars have since been converted, but this particular example retains its original configuration; an important distinction for originality-focused collectors. <- Gallery -> Condition, maintenance, and documentation remain essential, and at 14,488 miles, this example occupies what many consider a collector sweet spot: usable, yet relatively low-mileage for a car more than two decades old. As for values, we’ve already highlighted how Ferrari's naturally aspirated V8 era is fast becoming collector gold, and we've also featured 10 key mid-engine Ferraris shaping the collector market. Exceptional examples now routinely exceed seven figures. More than a sharper 360 Modena, the Challenge Stradale became the blueprint for every lightweight special-series V8 Ferrari that followed. For a fuller case on why it belongs in a serious collection, Petrolicious laid out 10 reasons the Challenge Stradale earns its place. This example combines highly sought-after color, factory transmission, and usable mileage in one of Ferrari's most influential modern road cars.
