2020 Bugatti Chiron Sport ‘Edition Noire’ | Estimate: $3,000,000–$3,500,000
Unveiled in 2016, the Bugatti Chiron ushered in a new era for the brand, introducing an innovative aerodynamic body and an impressive quad-super charged W16 engine at its heart. Two years later, the Chiron Sport was introduced as a new variant with more agile driving ability, precise handling, and a lighter build. Only 60 Chiron Sport models were produced, and this featured Gooding Christie’s consignment is one of just 20 outfitted in the ‘Edition Noire’ (Black Edition) with a sleek black carbon exterior. Displaying less than 2,500 miles, this ultra-rare ride boasts about $485,000 worth of options, from Sky View glass panels to luxurious Beluga Black leather.

2024 Ferrari 812 Competizione| Estimate: $2,000,000–$2,400,000 Without Reserve
Ferrari’s racing heritage continues to inform its designs today, especially in its Ferrari 812 Competizione model first introduced in 2021. Boasting a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V-12 engine, the Ferrari 812 Competizione was not only renowned for its speed, but also for its stability and lightness. Only 999 Ferrari 812 Competiziones were built, and these exclusive models were only offered by invitation to Ferrari’s loyal clients. This 2024 Ferrari 812 Competizione was ordered with an elegant Extra Campionari Bianco Italia exterior and the interior is upholstered in Pelle Rosso Ferrari leather interior with Daytona racing seats. Maintained as new and displaying fewer than 200 miles, this Ferrari 812 Competizione encapsulates the power, rarity, and exclusivity that is synonymous with the brand.
1989 Porsche 911 Classic Turbo | Estimate: $1,500,000–$1,800,000
This 1989 911 Classic Turbo is a custom model that combines the body of a vintage Porsche with contemporary engineering. It was reimagined by Singer Vehicle Design, a company founded by British musician Rob Dickinson to restore Porsche 911s and enhance them with powerful engines and fine detailing. The donor chassis, a 1989 Porsche 964 Carrera 4, was transformed with a new NATO Green exterior and Blonde leather interior. Inside, it is powered by a 510-BHP twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter flat-six engine and offers Singer's custom Sport suspension package. For Porsche collectors who seek one-of-a-kind rides, this Classic Turbo is a rare opportunity to acquire an ultra-exclusive Singer build that displays less than 1,700 miles.
2021 McLaren Elva | Estimate: $1,000,000–$1,500,000
The 2021 McLaren Elva was designed to optimize and elevate the driving experience to new heights.
