Across duPont REGISTRY Live, Sotheby’s Motorsport, and Bring a Trailer, demand remained consistent this week, with buyers continuing to focus on limited-production sports cars and modern performance models. Bonhams, meanwhile, reflected steady interest in early and historically significant classics. However, one result towered above everything else this week and deserves to be addressed first.
The world's only 2003 Ferrari Enzo finished in Rosso Dino has closed on duPont REGISTRY Live with a hammer price of $13,018,950, including Buyer’s Premium, becoming the most expensive car ever processed through an online auction platform. The result more than doubles the previous online auction record of $5.36 million, set by a Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta on Bring a Trailer in 2022, and marks the first eight-figure hammer price in online auction history.
This exact chassis, ZFFCW56A230134278, previously hammered at Mecum Kissimmee in January 2026 for $11,110,000, and now ranks as the third most expensive Ferrari Enzo ever hammered at any auction, behind only the ex-Bachman Collection's record $17,875,000 result also at Mecum Kissimmee and a Broad Arrow Amelia Island sale of $15,185,000, both also achieved in 2026.
This Enzo was offered with no reserve, an extraordinary statement of confidence in the market for an asset at this price level. This milestone result marks a significant moment in the first seven months for duPont REGISTRY Live, which launched in mid-November 2025 and has now facilitated the highest-value online automotive auction lot ever recorded. The latest duPont REGISTRY Index (dRi) value, our proprietary daily-updated market benchmark tracked on the duPont REGISTRY Garage app for the Ferrari Enzo, now sits at $12,064,475.
Ferrari's demand extended well beyond the flagship auction. A 2009 Ferrari 430 Scuderia hammered at $729,000, while a 2004 Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale reached $587,000. The spread reflects continued strength across Ferrari’s limited-production, track-focused V8 models, which remain a key driver of collector demand.
A factory-gated Lamborghini Murciélago Roadster also set a new benchmark for the model on duPont REGISTRY Live this week, part of a broader trend favoring manual-equipped Murciélagos across the market. The rare six-speed 2006 Lamborghini Murciélago Roadster hammered at $855,000, or $897,750 including Buyer's Premium, setting a new auction record for a standard first-generation Murciélago Roadster. It exceeded the previous auction high of $791,500 set at Broad Arrow’s Amelia Island auction in March this year.
A 2003 Murciélago Coupe formerly owned by Nicolas Cage ended at $361,000 on the same platform. Bring a Trailer produced similar results, with a factory six-speed 2005 Murciélago Roadster selling for $481,000 and a 2007 Murciélago LP640 Roadster equipped with a six-speed manual conversion bringing $696,100. Collectors clearly continue to reward analog engagement and gated-shifter rarity, even against newer or higher-performance alternatives in the market.
Porsche once again generated some of the week's strongest results across multiple platforms. On duPont REGISTRY Live, a 992.1 2024 Porsche 911 S/T equipped with the Heritage Design Package hammered at $590,000, while a 997.2 2010 Porsche 911 GT3 RS achieved $524,000. Additional highlights included a 992.1 2025 Porsche 911 Turbo 50 Years Edition at $336,000 and a 2025 Porsche 718 Spyder RS Weissach at $214,000. Similar strength was evident elsewhere, including a 991.2 2019 Porsche 911 Speedster Heritage Design that sold for $516,000 on Bring a Trailer and a 997.2 2011 Porsche 911 GT2 RS that surpassed the million-dollar mark at $1,031,000.
The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren provided another interesting market comparison. A low-mileage 2005 example showing just under 3,000 miles hammered on duPont REGISTRY Live for $455,000, outperforming another 2005 SLR that achieved $387,000 on Bring a Trailer. Both results surpassed the model's duPont REGISTRY Index (dRi) median value of $369,995, suggesting continued strength for well-presented SLRs in today's market. While both cars share broadly similar specifications, the difference in mileage and presentation appears to account for the spread between the two results.
As a low-volume collaboration between Mercedes-Benz and McLaren in the mid-2000s, the SLR remains surprisingly overlooked relative to many of its contemporaries. Over the last few months, a noticeable number of coupes and roadsters have surfaced on the platform, pointing to increased availability and interest.
Over on Sotheby’s Motorsport (SOMO) recorded a notable result for a 2002 Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 M-Spec Nür recorded a notable result at $367,500. The sale aligns closely with the $375,000 achieved by a 1999 Skyline GT-R V-Spec through Cars & Bids' Velocity Collection earlier this month, suggesting consistent pricing across top-tier R34 variants as this JDM icon becomes increasingly established within the collector market.
Meanwhile, Bonhams’ National Automobile Museum Auction in Reno recorded strong demand across a broad catalog of historic automobiles, generating more than $4.6 million in total realized sales. Top results were led by a 1936 Cord Experimental Limousine at $358,400, followed by a 1933 Franklin Series 17-B Club Brougham at $313,600, a 1961 Fiat 600D Pininfarina Y Berlinetta at $268,800, and both a 1959 Scimitar EX All-Purpose Sedan and a 1971 Duesenberg II SSJ Roadster at $156,800.
Taken together, this week's mega results highlight several familiar themes: Ferrari continues to command strong interest across both modern and classic segments, Porsche remains the market's most consistent performer, and collectors continue to reward analog driving experiences, low production numbers, and exceptional originality. The following market highlights illustrate these trends in greater detail.
Market Spotlights
2003 Ferrari Enzo
duPont REGISTRY Live - Hammer Price of $12,399,000 ($13,018,950 with Buyer’s Premium)
Few modern Ferraris carry the significance of the Enzo, and this example stands apart even among the model's already limited production. Finished in a Rosso Dino over a Nero leather interior, it is believed to be the only Enzo delivered in this specification among the 400 examples produced worldwide. Original owner Gerald Barnes specified the special-order paint named in honor of Enzo Ferrari’s eldest son. The window sticker shows that the out-of-range paint shade cost just $2,364 on a car that carried an original MSRP of $662,694, a decision that created the only Enzo of its kind and one duPont REGISTRY first identified as exceptional back in 2017. Showing approximately 3,700 miles, the car is powered by Ferrari's naturally aspirated 6.0-liter Tipo 140B V12 and features a full carbon-fiber monocoque that helped define the supercar era of the early 2000s. Accompanied by extensive service records and factory accessories, the result highlights continued demand for Ferrari's halo models, particularly examples with exceptional rarity and specification.

2015 Ferrari 458 Speciale
Bring a Trailer - $1,129,000
As the most focused road-going evolution of the Ferrari 458 platform, the Speciale has become one of the most sought-after modern Ferraris. This example, finished in Rosso Corsa with a Blu NART racing stripe and showing just 4,100 miles, is powered by Ferrari’s naturally aspirated 4.5-liter V8 producing 605 horsepower. Widely regarded as one of the final high-water marks of naturally aspirated Ferrari performance before the brand’s transition toward turbocharging, the 458 Speciale continues to attract strong collector interest. The result places the model firmly among the most valuable modern naturally aspirated Ferraris, a significant step above its original window sticker price of $348,143.

2006 Lamborghini Murciélago Roadster
duPont REGISTRY Live - Hammer Price of $855,000 ($897,750 with Buyer's Premium)
Finished in Rosso Vik with a factory-gated six-speed manual, this 2006 Murciélago Roadster sets a new record for a standard first-generation Roadster. Showing 8,410 miles, its rare color combination and low mileage drove strong collector interest. Powered by a naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V12 paired with Lamborghini's traditional open-gated shifter, the car represents one of the last analog flagship Lambos built before the brand's shift to paddle-shift gearboxes. The result highlights a growing demand for manual, collector-grade supercars.
