🤯 A Ferrari Luce just sold for $40 MILLION at RM Sotheby’s Monterey auction, making the first production chassis one of the most expensive new cars ever auctioned.

There is a major asterisk: this one-off Tailor Made “Chassis 0” was sold for charity, so its $40 million result should not be treated as the normal market value of a Luce.

Second place was arguably even crazier for collectors, with the unmistakable 1996 McLaren F1 GTR chassis 10R selling for $34,655,000.

That car is one of only two short-tail F1 GTR prototypes, wears its famous factory Pop Art livery, and spent 25 years with Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason.

Third was the 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport at $18,705,000, one of only five original Grand Sports ever constructed and the first of just three coupes.

Right behind it, a 227-mile Ferrari Daytona SP3 brought $17,825,000 despite being a significantly newer machine, showing just how aggressive the market has become for Ferrari’s limited-run Icona cars.

The old-school Ferrari halo cars were just as serious, with the F50 reaching $12,105,000 and a sub-1,000-mile 288 GTO bringing $11,555,000.

A Ferrari Enzo followed at $9,410,000, while the 320-mile, Lee Iacocca-owned F40 sold for $8,365,000.

That means the auction’s upper end wasn’t dominated by one generation either—it stretched from pre-war coachbuilt masterpieces to analog supercars, modern hypercars, and Ferrari’s first EV.

Across three nights, RM Sotheby’s reported an incredible $375,887,800 in total Monterey sales.

For enthusiasts, the results are a pretty wild snapshot of today’s collector market: provenance, rarity, mileage, competition history, and special specifications can now add millions to already valuable cars.

And when a Corvette Grand Sport can sell for nearly $19 million while an F50 clears $12 million and an F1 GTR approaches $35 million, the top end of the collector-car market is operating on another level.

Out of these Monterey sales, which car do you think was actually worth its hammer price?

What are your thoughts? 🤔💭
