Ferrari Flagship Supercar with Record Estimate of $20 million Heads to Las Vegas Auction

Broad Arrow Auctions has pulled the wraps off a 1997 Ferrari F50 showing just 106 miles from new. It is heading to the block as the headline lot of the company's second annual Las Vegas sale. The car has barely left a garage in nearly three decades. Chassis 107165 carries an estimate above $20 million, a figure Broad Arrow has flagged as a pre-sale expectation. The F50 crosses the block October 31 at Wynn Las Vegas as part of an auction centered on ultra-low-mileage supercars. This F50 is the 334th of 349 examples built, making it a late-production car from the final year of the run. Ferrari built the F50 between 1995 and 1997 as a street-legal nod to its Formula 1 program, and chassis 107165 arrived near the very end of that stretch. The car left the factory finished in Rosso Corsa over black leather with red seat inserts. It was delivered new through Maranello Sales Ltd in Egham, Surrey, one of roughly 25 F50s that went to UK buyers. Under the clamshell sits a 4.7-liter V12 producing 513 horsepower, a powerplant derived from Ferrari's 1990 Formula 1 engine rather than adapted from any road-car unit. The car's mileage is what sets it apart from other surviving examples. Alexander Weaver, senior car specialist and vice president at Broad Arrow Auctions, called it "certainly the lowest mileage example of an end-of-an-era supercar," adding that the F50 "offers the ultimate mechan

Barely two months after a 1996 F50 set a record for Ferrari’s F1-derived supercar, another contender for the title of World’s Most Expensive F50 has appeared: A 106-mile example headed to Broad Arrow’s auction at the Wynn Las Vegas on Saturday, October 31. Any Ferrari supercar with a naturally aspirated V-12 is going to get an enthusiast’s heart fluttering. An F50 might make them sit down. Essentially Ferrari’s 50th birthday present to itself, this carbon-bodied supercar draws extensively from contemporary F1 technology: The monocoque is made of carbon fiber, and the 513-hp, 4.7-liter V-12 engine, developed from the 3.5-liter V-12 that powered Ferrari’s F1 car to six wins in the 1990 season, serves as a stressed member of the chassis. Of course, displacement wasn’t the only thing that the engineers changed. They used variable-length intake runners and a variable exhaust system to make the race engine’s power and torque “more easily accessible,” according to the manufacturer’s website , “up to the 8500 rpm redline.” The suspension relied on pushrods and double wishbones at each corner and used electronically controlled Bilstein shock absorbers mounted inboard. The F50 was hardcore, if you couldn’t tell already: While today a supercar maker might trumpet a stability control sy

Inspired by the CTR2 Sport, it uses the final unused W09 body-in-white retained by Ruf from that model’s production era. The consignor worked with Alois Ruf and his team, bringing in Porsche 993 designer Tony Hatter to shape its appearance. Finished in Dragon Fire Orange, it has carbonfibre bodywork, an integrated roll cage and bespoke OZ Racing centre-lock wheels. The air-cooled engine produces a quoted 621bhp at 6500rpm, with Bilstein PSS10 suspension and carbon-ceramic brakes completing the specification. Offered for sa

This Stunning 2022 Ferrari Daytona SP3 Could Fetch $13 Million at Auction Why an Ultra-Rare Supercar You’ve Never Heard of Could Fetch $1.35 Million at Auction Why This Porsche 911 Restomod Could Fetch Nearly $4 Million at Auction Here’s a closer look at the 2022 Ferrari Daytona SP3 being auctioned through RM Sotheby’s on October 31. Click here for the full story . The 2022 Ferrari Daytona SP3 being auctioned through RM Sotheby’s at the end of this month. With a pristine interior wearing leather dressed in Rosso Ferrari red, this Prancing Horse has 2,948 miles on it. The 6.5-liter V-12, based on the engine used in Ferrari’s 812 Superfast and LaFerrari, makes 829 hp. Red brake calipers sit behind five-spoke 20-inch forged-alloy wheels. The 3,240-pound two-seater covers zero to 62 mph in 2.85 seconds, and has a top speed of 211 mph. The Daytona SP3 pays homage to Ferrari’s mid-engined sports prototype race cars of the 1960s. If this searing-yellow Ferrari Daytona SP3 looks vaguely familiar, it might be due to the fact that this was Maranello’s official, high-profile press demonstrator. “Daytona SP3s are going to be among the most collectible, most valuable Ferraris of all time, and this example being a former Ferrari development car, and having so much press coverage, has a very special provenance,” Harvey Stanley, director of Private Sales for RM Sotheby’s, tells Robb Report .

The Ferrari F50 has suddenly become one of the brand's most valuable and desirable cars for collectors, so much so that an ultra-low-mileage example is expected to sell for more than $20 million at an October 31 auction. If achieved, this would be a record price for the F50 and roughly quadruple the going rate of pristine examples just three years ago. What makes this particular example so special is that it's likely one of the lowest-mileage F50s in existence, having been driven just 106 miles. Ferrari built just 349 examples of the F50 from 1995 through 1997, and this final-year F50 is build no. 334 and chassis no. 107165. It was delivered new in the U.K. and has been parked for almost 30 years. While it's a shame the original owner didn't drive it, it represents a rare opportunity for an uber-wealthy collector to get behind the wheel of a near-new F50. Powered by a naturally aspirated 4.7-liter V12 derived from Ferrari's Formula 1 engine , the F50 are rarer than its predecessor, the F40. And it seems collectors are willing to pay extraordinary amounts of money for back-to-basics supercars like the F50, fitted with big engines and none of the hybrid hardware so common on modern supercars. Like most others, this one is painted in Rosso Corsa and has a black Nero interior with Rosso seat inserts. It retains the original removable hardtop, driving shoes, a three-piece Schedoni l
