From a $2.3M Porsche 918 Spyder to a $56K Ferrari 360 Spider, collectors showed consistent appetite for driver-focused machines with strong provenance. Porsche once again dominated, while icons like the 911 R, SLR 722, and F12 70th proved that rarity and analog experience continue to outperform.
2015 Porsche 918 Spyder | $2,301,000
Mileage: 6,800 miles
Date Sold: October 8, 2025
Auction House: Bring a Trailer
Sticker Price: $912,385
Overview
Chassis #714 of 918, this Dark Blue Metallic 918 Spyder represents one of nicest specs seen in recent months (except for the black wheels). Finished over an Onyx Black leather interior with Acid Green detailing, it carries a timeless look that differentiates it from the more common Liquid Metal or Weissach-package cars.
Offered from Wobβs Icons of Zuffenhausen Collection, this example features aftermarket HRE wheels, the Carbon Fiber Interior Package, Burmester audio, and over $9K in custom tailoring. Minor cosmetic imperfections aside, its originality, condition, and tasteful presentation make it a benchmark-quality hybrid hypercar.
CMI Insights
The $2.3M result underscores the 918βs continued strength as one of the most βblue-chipβ modern hypercars. After some stagnation in 2022-2023, values now trending upward again.
2017 Ferrari F12berlinetta 70th Anniversary Edition | $700,000
Mileage: 1,600 miles
Date Sold: October 8, 2025
Auction House: Bring a Trailer
Sticker Price: $490,000
Overview
One of only 70 uniquely specced β70th Anniversaryβ Ferraris built in 2017, this F12berlinetta is a one-of-one creation inspired by the 2003 Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale. Finished in Rosso Corsa with a tricolor racing stripe and airbrushed Scuderia shields, it features matte Bianco Avus 20β forged wheels, a carbon-fiber interior, racing seats, Apple CarPlay, JBL sound, and Ferrariβs front-axle lift.
Inside, the Nero and Rosso Alcantara cabin is punctuated by Cavallino headrest embroidery and extensive carbon trim. A plaque confirms it as the only F12 configured in this tribute livery. With just two owners since new, the car represents one of the rarest Tailor Made F12s ever produced.
CMI Insights
Given the rarity of the 70ths, the $700K result definitely rises the tide, but not necessarily a new benchmark for non-TDF F12s. While standard F12s remain still fairly stable, the 70th Anniversary cars can trade in a league of their own, where heritage design and exclusivity take the charge.
This sale underscores Ferrariβs growing modern-classic era appreciation, where the last Pininfarina designed, naturally aspirated V12s are being recognized as the pinnacle of modern Ferraris.
2007 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 Edition | $647,500
Mileage: 2,200 miles
Date Sold: October 8, 2025
Auction House: Bring a Trailer
Overview
One of just 150 examples built, this SLR McLaren 722 Edition represents the pinnacle of the Mercedes-McLaren collaboration. Finished in Crystal Laurite Silver over a black leather and Alcantara interior, itβs powered by a supercharged 5.4-liter AMG M155 V8 producing 641 hp and 605 lb-ft, up from the standard carβs 617 hp.
The 722 Edition received stiffer suspension, larger carbon-ceramic brakes, a 10mm-lower ride height, and aerodynamic refinements including a more pronounced front splitter, revised diffuser, and re-angled rear air brake. Inside, the car features carbon-fiber bucket seats, red stitching and belts, and the signature flip-up red start button beneath the shifter. Showing just 2,200 miles, it was offered from long-term collector ownership with a clean Carfax and 23 documented service records.
CMI Insights
The $647K result shows a small, but steady appreciation of 722 values over the past 18 months in the US market.
Iβm not particularly bullish on the SLR 722 S. These cars will likely continue to appreciate, but at a slow and steady pace rather than making any major jumps. Itβs the kind of car you buy because you want to own it β not because you expect a quick return. At this price point, around $650K, there are far better places to park that money if appreciation is your main goal. The 722 S makes sense only if the appeal is emotional, not financial.
2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS Weissach (Paint-to-Sample Yachting Blue Metallic) | $528,000
Mileage: 9,000 miles
Date Sold: October 9, 2025
Auction House: Bring a Trailer
Overview
Part of Wobβs Icons of Zuffenhausen Collection, this 991 GT2 RS is finished in paint-to-sample Yachting Blue Metallic (amazing color), a subtle yet striking hue that elevates one of Porscheβs most extreme road cars into collector-grade territory. Equipped with the $18K Weissach Package, this example features a carbon-fiber roof, hood, anti-roll bars, and magnesium center-lock wheels for maximum weight savings.
Other highlights include carbon-ceramic brakes, rear-axle steering, a front-axle lift, and PASM active suspension. The interior continues the bespoke theme with black leather and Alcantara upholstery, silver seatbelts, and Weissach embroidery on the headrests. With 9,000 miles and clean California history, it combines the usability of a driverβs car with the rarity of a Tailor Made build.
CMI Insights
Despite the mileage, this PTS GT2 RS actually sold for a rather good deal for the buyer, especially considering how other examples performed during Car Week. The Yachting Blue Metallic spec combined with the Weissach package and magnesium wheels made this a standout configuration. Just a note on the mileage, when buying these Porsches, I think itβs far better to prioritize the spec and color over total mileage.
Market sentiment around the GT2 RS remains robust, as collectors increasingly view it as the ultimate expression of Porscheβs ICE performance era before hybridization.
2023 Porsche 911 Sport Classic (Paint-to-Sample Ruby Star) | $552,000
Mileage: 921 miles
Date Sold: October 10, 2025
Auction House: Bring a Trailer
Overview
Number 692 of 1,250 units worldwide, this 992 Sport Classic celebrates Porscheβs 1970s heritage through a perfect blend of nostalgia and performance. Finished in paint-to-sample Ruby Star over a Heritage Design interior with Pepita cloth and wood trim, it channels the spirit of the Carrera RS 2.7 while pairing the Turbo drivetrain, a twin-turbo 3.7L flat-six, with a 7-speed manual and rear-wheel drive only.
It features PCCB brakes, a carbon-fiber double-bubble roof, Burmester audio, front-axle lift, and lightweight glass, along with unique Fuchs-style wheels and gold badging. Showing just 921 miles, this example was resold after a previous auctionβs failed transaction, offered again with a clean Carfax and window sticker confirming its $296K MSRP.
CMI Insights
Previously sold for USD $582,000 on September 5, 2025, and now bringing $552,000, this result feels like a more realistic reflection of todayβs market. The earlier sale likely represented the high watermark for the model, while this one settles closer to where these cars should trade. Ruby Star is a polarizing color and I personally love it, but maybe not on a Sport Classic. It suits GT or RS cars better than a heritage-inspired model that feels more at home in a vintage 2.7-style shade.
2022 Porsche 911 GT3 Touring 6-Speed (Paint-to-Sample Meissen Blue) | $330,000
Mileage: 2,500 miles
Date Sold: October 9, 2025
Auction House: Bring a Trailer
Sticker Price: $236,760
Overview
Commissioned through Porscheβs Sonderwunsch Factory Commissioning program, this 992 GT3 Touring showcases paint-to-sample Meissen Blue, a vintage Porsche hue originally seen on 356s of the 1950s, paired with an Exclusive Manufaktur leather interior accented by Meissen Blue trim and matte carbon fiber. Equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission, this example exemplifies Porscheβs dedication to analog precision in a digital era.
Performance hardware includes PCCB brakes, rear-axle steering, a front-axle lift system, and Michelin Cup 4 tires on center-lock wheels. The cabin features 18-way adaptive Sport Plus seats, BOSE audio, a Race-Tex headliner, and the Chrono Package. Showing just 2,500 miles, it remains in near-new condition with full PPF and a Porsche Certificate of Customization, highlighting its bespoke specification.
CMI Insights
The $330K result reflects sustained enthusiasm for manual 992 GT3 Tourings, especially those in rare paint-to-sample colors. While standard Tourings typically trade between $270Kβ$300K, Sonderwunsch or high-spec PTS builds like this command a 10β20% premium for their exclusivity and craftsmanship.
2016 Porsche 911 R | $600,000
Mileage: 4,300 miles
Date Sold: October 9, 2025
Auction House: Bring a Trailer
Overview
Number 266 of 991 units, this 911 R is a puristβs Porsche, manual-only, naturally aspirated, and stripped of excess. Finished in white with black stripes over a Pepita houndstooth interior, it was ordered without air conditioning or a stereo, underscoring its lightweight, driver-focused intent.
Developed as a spiritual successor to the 1967 homologation special, the 911 R borrowed the 4.0L flat-six from the GT3 RS, tuned to 500 horsepower, paired exclusively with a 6-speed manual and a single-mass flywheel. Constructed with magnesium and carbon-fiber body panels, it features rear-axle steering, carbon-ceramic brakes, and center-lock GT3 wheels. Sold from Wobβs Icons of Zuffenhausen Collection, this example presents as one of the most original and desirable 991 Rs in existence.
CMI Insights
The $600K hammer solidifies the 911 Rβs reascension after a brief correction period in 2023β2024. Early hype once drove Rs to $800K+, but the market has since maturedβrewarding low-mileage, lightweight, AC-delete examples like this one with stable, sustainable demand.
2010 Audi R8 V10 6-Speed | $121,000
Mileage: 31,000 miles
Date Sold: October 9, 2025
Auction House: Bring a Trailer
Overview
Finished in Phantom Black Pearl over black Nappa leather, this first-generation R8 V10 6-speed manual exemplifies Audiβs golden era of naturally aspirated performance. Powered by a 5.2L FSI V10 producing 525 hp, it sends power to all four wheels through a gated six-speed manualβa setup now extinct in modern supercars.
This example features carbon-fiber Sigma side blades, Bang & Olufsen audio, Alpine head unit, and 19β³ Y-design forged wheels. Maintenance highlights include new shocks (front in 2019, rear in 2020), a ceramic-coated exterior, and a recent oil service in April 2025. Showing 31,000 miles, it was sold with full documentation, a clean Carfax, and desirable service provenance.
CMI Insights
Compared to its Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 sibling, the R8 6-speed delivers 95% of the performance at half the price, with far greater usability and understated appeal. Expect values to continue appreciating steadily, as manual-equipped first-gen V10s remain the purest expression of Audiβs mid-engine flagship before the dual-clutch era took over.
2005 Subaru Impreza WRX STi | $66,666
Mileage: 7,000 miles
Date Sold: October 9, 2025
Auction House: Bring a Trailer
Overview
Finished in Crystal Gray Metallic, this 2005 WRX STi represents one of the most original, low-mile examples of the GD-chassis βblobeyeβ STi to surface in recent years. Powered by a turbocharged 2.5L EJ257 flat-four sending 300 hp to all four wheels through a 6-speed manual and driver-controlled center differential (DCCD), it encapsulates the raw, rally-bred spirit that made Subaruβs performance cars legendary in the 2000s.
This example remains completely stock, retaining its factory 17β³ BBS wheels, Brembo brakes, and blue/black Ecsaine interior. With just 7,000 miles, original California registration, and recent major servicing including timing belt and water pump replacements, itβs a time capsule from the height of Subaruβs World Rally Championship era.
CMI Insights
The $66K hammer reflects the continuing ascent of unmodified, low-mile STis, as collectors recognize them as modern Japanese icons alongside the Evo IX, Supra Mk4, and RX-7 FD. While modified examples remain plentiful, factory-correct cars under 10K miles are becoming nearly unobtainable, and command 100% premiums over average-mileage cars.
2002 Ferrari 360 Spider (Hoovieβs Garage Ownership) | $56,500
Mileage: 32,600 miles
Date Sold: October 10, 2025
Auction House: Cars & Bids
Overview
Finished in Giallo Modena over black leather with yellow stitching, this 2002 Ferrari 360 Spider represents one of the most accessible entry points into gated-era Ferrari ownership with an added twist: it was previously owned by YouTuber Tyler Hoover (βHoovieβs Garageβ), a name that adds unique social provenance to this particular example.
Powered by a 3.6L V8 rated at 400 hp, paired to the F1-style 6-speed automated manual transmission, the car features several tasteful modifications including an aftermarket exhaust, 19β³ Ferrari California wheels, a lowered suspension on factory coilovers, and yellow interior accents. Cosmetic wear is consistent with age and mileage: light seat and dash wear, wheel rash, and a repaired trim crack but it retains a clean Carfax, full records, and recent maintenance including timing belt and water pump service (2020) and new battery and oil change (September 2025).
CMI Insights
I donβt have much to say except this was pretty well bought for a rougher 360!
