RM Sotheby's unveils ultra-rare hypercar collection ahead of Monterey auction
Headlined by the 2023 Ferrari Daytona SP3, the flagship of Ferrari's exclusive Icona Series, estimated at $10,000,000 - $12,000,000 USD.



BLENHEIM.- RM presents The Driver's Philosophy Collection, an extraordinary private offering of modern hypercars and more led by the Ferrari Daytona SP3, Bugatti Mistral, Pagani Huayra Roadster "Executor," Aston Martin Valkyrie Spider, McLaren P1 GT by Lanzante, and an exceptional roster of the world's most sought-after performance automobiles.

More than simply a collection of extraordinary machines, The Driver's Philosophy Collection represents the defining philosophies of the world's greatest performance manufacturers. Ferrari pursued racing pedigree through naturally aspirated perfection. Bugatti reimagined the limits of speed and engineering. Pagani elevated the automobile into functional sculpture. Aston Martin blurred the line between Formula 1 and the road, while McLaren continued a legacy forged at Le Mans through relentless innovation. Together, these automobiles tell the story of an era in which engineering ambition, craftsmanship, and uncompromising performance reached unprecedented heights.

United by rarity, technical achievement, and a singular commitment to the driving experience, the collection stands as a remarkable celebration of the modern hypercar—bringing together landmark automobiles that have redefined what is possible both on the road and on the track.

“This collection brings together some of the most desirable modern hypercars and supercars ever created, but what makes it especially compelling is the clear vision behind it,” said Gord Duff, President of RM Sotheby’s. “These cars represent a kind of space race among the world’s greatest marques, each pushing to create something with virtually no limits. They became a playground for engineers and designers, and the results are nothing short of mind-bending. They are also exactly the kind of cars today’s market is looking for, and we cannot wait to present them in Monterey and see them move into the next great collections and garages.”

One of only a handful produced and numbered 03 by Lanzante, it combines a 986-horsepower hybrid powertrain with bespoke Longtail-inspired bodywork and has covered just 5,484 miles at the time of cataloguing, making it one of the rarest and most desirable McLarens ever built (Estimate: $3,000,000 - $3,500,000 USD).
