This week was defined by activity across multiple auction platforms, including duPont REGISTRY Live, Bring a Trailer, Cars & Bids Velocity Collection, and Bonhams Greenwich. Six- and seven-figure sales remained active across a wide range of enthusiast segments, spanning modern hypercars, analog performance cars, air-cooled Porsches, and historically significant classics.
Porsche once again anchored overall market activity, led by a low-mileage 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder offered through duPont REGISTRY Live that hammered at just under $3 million against a dRi (duPont REGISTRY Index) median value of $2,450,000. As the first Porsche halo car to cross the platform and the second entry from the so-called “Holy Trinity” following the McLaren P1 sale in early May, and the result marks another milestone for duPont REGISTRY Live while highlighting sustained demand for modern hypercars at the top of the collector market.
Beyond the 918, Porsche delivered strong results across multiple segments, from air-cooled collector cars to track-focused GT models. duPont REGISTRY Live featured a notable concentration of 997-generation GT3 RS activity, including a 2007 Porsche 911 GT3 RS (997,1) hammering at $280,000 and a 2010 (997.2) example at $405,000, demonstrating continued demand for Mezger-engine derivatives. At Bonhams Greenwich, air-cooled strength extended into earlier generations, led by a 1957 Porsche 356A 1500 Carrera GT at $511,000 and a 1956 356A T1 Speedster at $291,000, both retaining early Reutter coachbuilt provenance.
Bring a Trailer also delivered some of the most concentrated high-end activity of the week, led by a 1966 Ferrari 275 GTS at $2,107,000, followed by a 1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 by Singer at $1,275,000. Additional standout results included a 2009 Ferrari 430 Scuderia Spider 16M and a 2021 Lamborghini Aventador LP770-4 SVJ, both achieving $1,050,000, reflecting demand for modern halo supercars and boutique Porsche builds. Beyond the headline results, a steady flow of high six- and seven-figure sales reflected depth across Ferrari, Porsche, and American performance segments.
Over at the Cars & Bids Velocity Collection at Sonoma Raceway, modern collector performance remained a key theme, led by a 1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec at $375,000, a 2018 Lamborghini Huracán Performante at $368,000, and a 1997 Ferrari 550 Maranello gated manual at $240,550. The standout result was a 2008 Ferrari 430 Scuderia at $653,000, well above its dRi (duPont REGISTRY Index) median value of $352,562, highlighting strong demand for limited-production, naturally aspirated Ferrari special models.
Porsche demand held firm across modern GT cars and analog performance variants. Highlights included a 2023 718 Cayman GT4 RS Weissach at $173,000, and a 1994 Carrera RS America at $180,000 and a 2019 Porsche 911 Speedster at $525,000, reflecting continued strength across both modern collector-spec and air-cooled-adjacent performance models. Coincidentally, another 991.2 Speedster also finished in GT Silver metallic, subsequently ended with a hammer price of $496,806 on duPont REGISTRY Live.
Ferrari and Lamborghini also showed depth across modern and classic segments on duPont REGISTRY Live, led by a Argento Metallizzato 1992 Ferrari 512 TR hammering down at $313,000 and a 2011 Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera at $182,500. A 2021 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT Black Series reached a hammer price of $391,500, while a 2016 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat (manual) hammered at $47,000, highlighting the widening gap between modern factory halo cars and accessible American performance models.
Corvette activity remained steady across duPont REGISTRY Live, with results spanning multiple generations and performance tiers. A 2019 C7 Corvette ZR1 3ZR hammered at $130,000, a 2024 C8 Z06 3LZ reached $104,000, and a 2025 Corvette Stingray 2LT ended at $59,000, highlighting how sharply specification and performance level continue to define value within the Corvette range.
Classic sports cars from the 1960s and ‘70s saw steady demand across both American and British examples. A 1963 Chevrolet Corvette L84 Coupe C2 Split-Window hammered at $180,567, while a 1963 Jaguar XKE Series I Coupe achieved $102,500, placing both within the same early-1960s performance era despite very different positioning and output. Separately, Bonhams Greenwich highlighted continued demand in restored European grand touring and luxury classics, led by a 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE 3.5 Cabriolet at $274,400 and a 1974 Jaguar E-Type Series III Roadster at $95,200.
Taken together, this week reflects a market defined less by headline peaks and more by consistent liquidity across enthusiast segments. Demand remains strongest for analog driving experiences, limited-production halo cars, and highly specialized builds, while originality and specification continue to play a decisive role in modern performance pricing. The highlights below illustrate the individual sales that best captured these broader market dynamics.
Market Highlights
2015 Porsche 918 Spyder
duPont REGISTRY Live - Hammer Price of $2,969,000
The 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder represents one of the defining hypercars of the hybrid era, pairing a 4.6-liter naturally aspirated V8 with dual electric motors to deliver a breakthrough in performance and technology integration. This particular example is finished in Guards Red over a Garnet Red interior, is one of 918 units produced worldwide and shows just 420 miles from new. The specification is further elevated by Porsche’s rare CXX (Sonderwunsch) Special Wishes program, placing it among the more individually tailored builds within this Porsche halo car’s production run. Combined with carbon-fiber equipment, ceramic composite brakes, rear-axle steering, and its benchmark-setting hybrid system, the 918 continues to represent one of the most significant modern Porsche performance milestones.

1966 Ferrari 275 GTS
Bring a Trailer - $2,107,000
As the 199th of the 200 examples produced, this 1966 Ferrari 275 GTS sits at the end of Ferrari’s early front-engine V12 grand touring era, before the shift toward larger and more comfort-oriented GT models in the late 1960s. Powered by a 3.3-liter Colombo V12 with triple Weber carburetors and paired to a five-speed manual transaxle, the model reflects Ferrari’s early balance between performance and usable road manners. Finished in Rosso Cordoba over black leather, this example benefits from a 2016 refurbishment and is supported by extensive historical documentation, including long-term service invoices and a Marcel Massini report. It also bagged multiple class awards at the Ferrari Club of America Annual meet in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and Dallas, Texas as well as Concorso Italiano and Cavallino Classic. With approximately 53,000 kilometers shown (~33,000 miles), this result reflects continued demand for well-documented classic V12 Ferraris with strong provenance.

1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Coupe by Singer
Bring a Trailer - $1,275,000
Known as the Foothills Commission, this Singer-restored 911 illustrates the continued divergence between bespoke reimagined builds and their original donor platforms. Built around a 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six that produces 390 horsepower, the car is paired with a six-speed manual transmission and limited-slip differential. The specification is highlighted by Foothills Yellow paint with Ghost Stripes, Fuchs-style wheels and Andes Green detailing over a heavily reworked interior finished in Hunter Green Connolly leather. Underpinning the build are high-end components including Öhlins suspension, Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes, and carbon-fiber seating, reinforcing Singer’s position at the top tier of Porsche restoration engineering. With just 109 miles since completion, demand remains anchored in low-mileage, highly individualized commissions.

1957 Porsche 356A 1500 Carrera GT
Bonhams Greenwich Auction - $511,000
This 1957 Porsche 356A 1500 Carrera GT represents one of Porsche’s earliest and most significant competition-focused road cars, built around the marque’s four-cam Type 547 engine architecture. Finished in factory-correct Aquamarine Blue over black leatherette with Grey corduroy inserts, the car has undergone a concours-level restoration spanning more than 15 years, with fewer than 10 miles recorded since completion. Its documentation set covering Porsche Kardex records, Reutter body data, factory paperwork, and early Cuban competition history adds meaningful provenance to an already rare specification. The result highlights sustained collector demand for early four-cam Carreras where originality, restoration quality, and documented history carry equal weight.

1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec
Cars & Bids Velocity Collection - $375,000
The R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec continues to represent one of the most sought-after Japanese performance platforms in the modern collector market. Finished in the highly sought after and distinctive Midnight Purple II and showing approximately 5,800 miles, this right-hand-drive example is powered by the legendary RB26DETT twin-turbo inline-six paired with a six-speed manual and ATTESA E-TS Pro all-wheel-drive system. Factory performance hardware including Brembo brakes, Super HICAS rear steering, and a multifunction driver display reinforce its role as the most advanced evolution of the Skyline GT-R lineage. As U.S. eligibility broadens and collector demand matures, low-mileage V-Spec examples continue to command a growing premium within the JDM segment.
