“We’re looking forward to launching our first Online Only collector car auction with an offering that has been built entirely for the virtual platform,” comments Gord Duff, Global Head of Auctions, RM Sotheby’s. “With a fantastic group of sought-after, low-mileage sports and supercars through to eclectic lots like the Piaggio Limousine, this is a dynamic group of collector cars that duplicates the caliber of many of our established live auction events.”
Significant early entries for the auction have been secured. The first featured entries are led by a striking example of Ferrari’s iconic 1990s supercar, a Classiche-certified 1995 Ferrari F50, presented in Rosso Corsa over a Nero interior with contrasting red cloth inserts. The second example of just 349 built to celebrate the marque’s 50th anniversary, the F50 on offer was displayed by Ferrari in September of 1995 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. (Est. $2,500,000 – $2,750,000).
Joining the Italian powerhouse is a superb example of the latest iteration of Ford’s flagship supercar, a 2017 Ford GT, finished in Triple Yellow with Lightning Blue stripes. Born and bred on the racetrack, the GT packs power with its 647-hp, 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 engine. It comes with just 1,471 miles on the odometer (Est. $850,000 – $950,000).
