Lamborghini Reventón

The Reventón debuted at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show and is one of Lamborghini’s rarest cars. It had a total production run of 20 coupes and 15 roadsters and carried an original sticker price of $1.5m. It was named in the Lamborghini tradition after the fighting bull that killed famed bullfighter Felix Guzman in 1943. The car packs a 6.5L V-12 engine pushing 641 bhp through a paddle-shifted E-Gear 6-speed transmission.

The Reventón sported exclusive composite carbon-fiber body panels, inspired by the F-22 Raptor fighter jet, over its carbon-fiber and steel main structure. The Reventón accelerates to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds on the way to a 211 mph top speed.

Driven 168 miles, this example was estimated at Mecum Monterey in 2018 at $1.7 to $2m. The car failed to change hands.

1959 Scaglietti Corvette

Primarily known for their coachwork on Ferrari race cars, Scaglietti handcrafted three Corvette Italias in collaboration with Gary Laughlin, Jim Hall and Carroll Shelby. Three bare 1959 Corvette chassis were shipped to Scaglietti of Maranello and constructed with a special lightweight alloy body. Their intention was to race the cars against the Ferrari 250 Testarossas and 250 SWB Berlinettas. Scaglietti's principal customer, Enzo Ferrari, was not pleased, and the cars took more than two years to complete.

The 1959 Scaglietti Corvette Italia was intended to be produced in limited numbers, and would have competed in the same market as high-performance European sports cars.

The concept was to use an inexpensive, reliable American drive train mated with an exotic Italian body. One chassis had a four-speed transmission, the others the powerglide, all came with a 283 cubic-inch engine. One of the Scaglietti Corvettes was advertised for sale in Hemmings in 2020 for $995,000.

War Rig up for grabs

13 heavily modified vehicles used in "Mad Max: Fury Road" were up for grabs in 2021 at Oz's Lloyd's Auction. The war rig changed hands for a reported $1m. The Tatra T815, aka the "The War Rig", is a custom vehicle driven by Imperator Furiosa in Mad Max Fury Road.

The third of 56 short-wheelbase examples built; one of only 39 cars originally configured with covered headlamps. Delivered new to Paris. The revised California Spider featured a wider track, Koni telescopic shock absorbers, four-wheel disc brakes, and the latest evolution of the “short-block” V-12 engine. With 56 examples, the California Spider SWB, and in particular the covered headlamp version, is regarded as one of the most beautiful Ferraris ever built.

This 250 GT went to marque specialist Carrozzeria Campana Onorio in Modena, Italy for a two-year nut-and-bolt restoration that included a refinish of the coachwork in Nero. The car changed hands at RM Sotheby's.

Instant Ferrari collection

In 2020 RM Sotheby’s had everybody covered with a baker’s dozen of Ferrari glitz spanning the years 1961 to 2011. It dubbed the single-consigner assemblage the Performance Collection, and it sold at the company's Monterey car week sale.

The jewel of the collection: The 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta by Scaglietti

The Performance Collection represents a deep half-century cut of the Ferrari road car portfolio. The consigner chose his cars well.
