Iconic Ferraris Under the Hammer at RM Sotheby's Cavallino Palm Beach Auction
Another week, another fascinating RM Sotheby's auction to ponder the results of.
February 18, 2026
Twelve exceptional cars, from blue-chip classics to modern hypercars, and the values behind them.
RM Sotheby’s latest Miami sale delivered exactly what you’d expect from a catalogue stacked with modern icons and low-mileage blue-chip metal: strong prices for the right cars, a clear appetite for rarity and provenance, and a continued divide between merely desirable and truly exceptional. From analogue V12 Ferraris to record-setting hypercars of the hybrid era, the results paint a revealing picture of where the market currently sits.
$467,000 USD
The Superamerica has long been one of Maranello’s more intriguing limited runs – 559 examples, a party-piece electrochromic ‘Revocromico’ roof, and 540hp from a naturally-aspirated V12 — up from 515hp in the 575M.
This example ticked several collector boxes: originally delivered to noted enthusiast Michael Fux as part of his frankly ridiculous collection, specified in Rosso Fiorano over Crema, and crucially fitted with the highly sought-after HGTC handling package. With only 1,786 miles, it presented as a time-capsule.
At $467,000, it feels like solid money rather than speculative exuberance. Superamericas have historically lagged behind other limited V12 Ferraris, but HGTC cars in special colours with low mileage are increasingly recognised as the ones to have. In today’s market where bidders can easily get carried away, this looks like fair value for a rare, usable open V12 with genuine collector appeal.
$692,500 USD
Limited to 1,250 units, the 992-generation Sport Classic blends Turbo underpinnings with rear-wheel drive and a manual gearbox — a combination Porsche enthusiasts didn’t know they needed until Stuttgart built it. This car’s paint-to-sample British Racing Green over Cognac semi-aniline leather with Pepita inserts is precisely the sort of tasteful, heritage-led specification buyers crave.
At $692,500, it sits comfortably above original list and reinforces the Sport Classic’s position as one of the most coveted modern 911s. The mileage – just 1,075 – certainly helped, but the rarity and unique drivetrain setup of the Sport Classic make it a hot ticket for collectors.
$885,000 USD
The S7 has always felt like America’s rugged answer to Europe’s early-2000s hypercar elite. This LM example, recommissioned by Saleen to LM specification in 2018, is one of just three produced between 2017 and 2019. With a 7.0-litre twin-turbo V8 rated at 1,000hp (and capable of quite a bit more), it’s outrageous on paper and even more so in the metal.
$885,000 sounds like a lot for a car you might not have heard of, but given there are only three in the world, it has over 1,000hp, and they were priced at over $1 million when new, could we even argue it represents strong value relative to its performance and rarity? It might not be as polished as a Carrera GT or Enzo, but compared to seven-figure European contemporaries, the S7 LM remains something of a connoisseur’s choice, and as collectors increasingly appreciate significant American supercars, it’ll be interesting to see if values follow suit.
$967,500 USD
Few modern specials wear their history as proudly as the Heritage Edition GT. One of 343 built for 2006 and showing just 662 miles, this ‘three-option’ example featured the iconic Heritage livery, BBS forged lightweight wheels and Gun Metal Grey calipers.
At $967,500, it continues the GT’s steady trajectory as an iconic modern classic. Prices have softened slightly from peak-pandemic highs, but low-mile Heritage cars remain highly liquid assets in the collector world, and always fetch strong results.
$1,160,000 USD
The “Palm Beach Commission” represents the now-closed Classic Study programme at its most charming. Finished in Bahama Yellow with Ghosted Light stripes and powered by a hand-built 4.0-litre engine, it combines Singer’s obsessive detailing with serious performance and engineering. That motor has big cams, a ceramic-finish plenum intake, high-flow cats and a black ceramic-coated exhaust system. Power goes through a six-speed manual, there are big Brembos to stop it, and Öhlins suspension tuned for supple road manners.
Having covered just 710 miles since completion, at $1.16m, it sits within the established Singer band. With Classic Study builds no longer available, scarcity is now baked in. Values appear stable, and well-specified, tastefully finished cars such as this continue to command strong money.
$1,627,500 USD
Built to celebrate Lamborghini’s 30th anniversary, the SE30 is widely regarded as the purest Diablo. One of just 150 produced and presented in factory-correct Viola SE30 over Blu Alcantara, the clock is showing just 13,000km from new. This example had nearly $57,000 spent in 2024 and has done minimal mileage since.
At $1.63m, it confirms the SE30’s status as the Diablo to own. Increased power, reduced weight and rarity all underpin its desirability. Compared with earlier Diablos, the SE30 has decisively pulled ahead in value, and this result reinforces that hierarchy.
$1,974,000 USD
Number 36 of 106, paying homage to the original F1 production run of 106 cars, this Speedtail wears a beautiful MSO-specified Heritage Atlantic Blue finish. With 1,035hp and a 250mph top speed, it remains McLaren’s fastest ever road car.
At just under $2m with just 216 miles, it appears to have settled into a softer bracket relative to its original list and early resale highs. For a three-seat, central-driving-position hyper-GT with genuine historical resonance, that could look like a compelling long-term play.
$2,122,500 USD
It doesn’t seem often we see a ‘standard’ Veyron these days, and it’s easy to forget just how incredible a feat it was — the 1,001hp quad-turbo W16 and 253mph capability remain staggering even today. The 13th of 252 coupes and just the second US-spec example built, this Silver and Dark Blue car showed just 3,139 miles.
At $2.12m, the Veyron continues its quiet resurgence. Once seen as complex and costly to run, it’s increasingly recognised as a genuine engineering landmark. Early, well-presented cars are now finding a firmer footing in the market, and will surely be significant forever as a gamechanging hypercar.
$2,205,000 USD
The only Senna GTR converted as part of Lanzante’s seven-car LM 25 programme and certified by the ACO, this road-legal tribute to the 1995 Le Mans-winning F1 GTR blends race-car theatre with road usability — ish.
At $2.2m, rarity and provenance clearly drove the bidding. With just seven LM 25 cars and direct Le Mans significance, it occupies a niche that transcends the already extreme Senna GTR.
$3,305,000 USD
The CGT may not be as numerically rare as many of the other cars here, but it’s one of the most significant cars in Porsche’s history, and has become a cornerstone of serious collections. One of 644 US cars, (1,270 worldwide) finished in GT Silver over Ascot Brown and showing just 603 miles, this Carrera GT had recently received a significant, and absolutely terrifying to us mere mortals, $89,000 service.
At $3.3m, it reinforces the CGT’s blue-chip status. Analogue, manual and powered by one of the greatest engines ever wedged into a road car, it has become one of the most desirable supercars, and prices reflect that enduring demand.
$3,415,000 USD
This is number 39 of 100 Huayra Roadsters. Finished in stunning Rosso Dubai and with just 312 miles, this single-owner car exemplifies Pagani’s blend of theatre and craftsmanship.
At $3.415m, it sits in line with recent sales, suggesting stability at the top end of the modern hypercar market. Its rarity, incredible engineering, almost unrivalled craftsmanship and brutal AMG V12 power mean that Roadster’s appeal looks as durable as any other Pagani.
$6,880,000 USD
It seems we almost always feature a LaFerrari on these lists, but it deserves talking about as one of Ferraris big six and is an interesting car to track as it is traded so liquidly with ever-increasing values.
One owner, 554 miles, one of 499 worldwide (120 US cars) — on paper, this is exactly what collectors want from Ferrari’s hybrid halo car.
At $6.88m, it underscores the LaFerrari’s position firmly at the summit of the modern Ferrari market. As the first chapter of Maranello’s hybrid hypercar trilogy, and the last naturally-aspirated V12 flagship of its kind, it continues to command prices befitting its status.
