Monterey Jet Center Top Sales for 2025
Broad Arrow Auctions held their third Monterey Jet Center Auction last week and saw very strong results from the bidders. The Top Ten most expensive cars sold for a combined $23,172,000 while the two-day auction resulted in total sales of $57.4 million and a strong sell-through rate of 80%.
Developed in close collaboration with Ferrari, and based on the same chassis and engine as the legendary Ferrari Enzo, the MC12 was a homologation special built to allow Maserati to compete in the FIA GT Championship. Its dramatic, wind tunnel-honed bodywork, designed by Frank Stephenson, is significantly larger than the Enzo’s and features an enormous rear wing and a prominent air snorkel, all optimized for maximum downforce and on-track performance. Only 50 road-going “Stradale” examples were ever produced, each powered by a Ferrari-derived 6.0L naturally aspirated V12 engine, making it a true race car for the road and a highly coveted collector’s item.
Broad Arrow set a new world record price for the MC12 Stradale at the Monterey Jet Center sale, besting the previous record of $3.8 million. This was well-sold at $5,202,500.
Introduced in 2008 as a more environmentally friendly version of the CCX, the CCXR was designed to run on E85 and E100 ethanol biofuels in addition to standard gasoline. By using the higher octane ethanol, its 4.8L twin-supercharged V8 engine was able to produce a remarkable 1,018 horsepower, a significant increase over the CCX. This technological innovation, combined with its distinct aerodynamic body, showcased Koenigsegg’s commitment to both extreme performance and pioneering sustainability, a concept almost unheard of in the hypercar world at the time.
This is one of just 11 examples of the CCXR produced and one of just three built in the US. It started life as a Middle Eastern-market CCX that was converted by the factory into a CCXR and was well-sold, setting a new record for the model by a significant amount at $3,222,500.
The Ferrari 275 GTB/4, unveiled at the 1966 Paris Motor Show, is a significant model in Ferrari’s history as it was the first of its “production” road cars to be fitted with the four-overhead-camshaft version of the V12 engine. This technological leap from the previous single-cam design not only distinguished it from earlier 275 GTB models but also enhanced its performance. With its beautiful Pininfarina-designed body, built by Scaglietti, and a dry-sump lubrication system borrowed from racing, the 275 GTB/4 was a true dual-purpose grand tourer with both racing DNA and luxurious road manners.
This example sold by Broad Arrow Auctions is one of just 330 built from 1966 through 1968 and retains its matching-numbers Tipo 226 V12 engine. It sold for a strong $2,562,500.
The 1991 Porsche 911 Singer DLS was unveiled in 2018, was a collaboration between Singer Vehicle Design and Williams Advanced Engineering, with a goal to create the ultimate, most advanced air-cooled 911 in the world.Each DLS is based on a customer-supplied 964 and is meticulously rebuilt with extensive use of carbon fiber to reduce weight, and a naturally aspirated 4.0L flat-six engine developed with the guidance of legendary Porsche engineer Hans Mezger. The engine produces 500 horsepower and revs to a staggering 9,300 rpm, delivering a pure and visceral driving experience that pays homage to the 911’s heritage while incorporating cutting-edge technology. Only 75 examples were commissioned.
The example sold by Broad Arrow shows just over 250 miles since new and was originally delivered to the UK. Considering the rarity of this model and the very low mileage it appears to have been well-sold at $2,645,000.
Initially developed as a race car, the “SL” for Sport Leicht (Sport Light) was brought to the road in 1954 at the suggestion of Mercedes’ U.S. importer Max Hoffman, who saw its potential in the American market. Its most distinctive and recognizable feature is its unique “gullwing” doors, necessitated by the car’s spaceframe chassis. This advanced design, combined with the world’s first series-produced direct fuel injection system, gave the 3.0L straight-six engine a formidable 215 horsepower and a top speed of up to 160 mph, making it the fastest production car of its day.
This matching-numbers example left the factory in the same colors it presents today and includes a fitted luggage set. This was well-sold at $1,902,500.
The 1963 Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso – commonly known as the “Lusso” (Italian for luxury) – is a masterpiece of automotive design that prioritized elegance and style over outright racing performance. Designed by Pininfarina and built by Scaglietti, its stunning bodywork is a harmonious blend of sweeping curves, a low-slung profile, and a unique glass-covered fastback. Powered by a 3.0L Colombo V12 engine, the Lusso was positioned as a luxurious grand tourer for Ferrari’s most discerning clients, who sought a beautiful and comfortable car for long-distance cruising. With only 350 examples ever built, its timeless beauty and more relaxed demeanor, in contrast to its racing-focused 250 GT siblings, have made it one of the most desirable Ferraris of the 1960s.
This is the first of two examples that appear in Broad Arrow’s Top Ten sales at the Monterey Jet Center Auction. It was owned by David Letterman from 1998 through 2023 and is documented as a matching-numbers example by Marcel Massini.
The BMW M1 Procar was a spectacular and short-lived one-make racing series that ran as a support race for Formula 1 Grands Prix in 1979 and 1980. Conceived by BMW to help homologate the M1 for Group 4 racing, the Procar series featured a unique format where the five fastest Formula 1 drivers from practice were given factory-prepared M1s to race against a field of top touring and sports car drivers. They were powered by a 3.5L inline-six engine producing 470 horsepower.
The example sold by Broad Arrow Auctions is one of 54 built and is the only example known to remain essentially as-new with its original paint, interior, and mechanical underpinnings. This was very well sold, setting a new record price for the BMW M1 at $1,600,000.
We had a chance to speak with Donnie Gould from Broad Arrow Auctions about this 1962 Shelby 260 Cobra, CSX 2003, and noted its unique place in the origins of the Shelby and Ford partnership. It performed well on the block, selling for $1,545,000.
The spiritual successor to the legendary Miura Jota and Diablo GTR, the Lamborghini Essenza SCV12 is an extreme, track-only hypercar. Unveiled in 2020 by Lamborghini’s Squadra Corse motorsports division, the Essenza SCV12 is a pure race car built for private use, not for road or race series homologation. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.5L V12 engine that produces a monumental 830 horsepower, making it Lamborghini’s most powerful V12 to date. The car’s aggressive aerodynamic package, including a massive rear wing and a prominent front splitter, provides over 2,600 pounds of downforce at 155 mph.
The example sold by Broad Arrow Auctions is one of just 40 produced and presents with just delivery mileage. It was well-sold at $1,490,000.
The second of the two ’63 Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta Lussos to make the Top Ten sales from Broad Arrow’s Monterey Jet Center Auction, this was certified by Ferrari Classiche as a matching-numbers example. It participated in a variety of well-known tours suitable for really exercising the Colombo V12 powering its rear wheels. While it didn’t quite match the other example sold by Broad Arrow, this was still well-sold at $1,380,000.
