The Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach 2026 auction made history at the South Florida Fairgrounds from April 16-18, 2026. With 610 vehicles crossing the block and a record 1,617 registered bidders, the event achieved more than $47 million in vehicle sales with a perfect 100% sell-through rate.
Total sales – including 264 pieces of automobilia – surpassed $48.5 million, making it the most successful Palm Beach auction in Barrett-Jackson‘s history.
Three vehicles crossed the $1 million threshold, each commanding attention for very different reasons.
The undisputed headline of the Barrett-Jackson 2026 results was a 2016 Pagani Huayra that sold for a staggering $3,190,000.
Not only was it the most expensive car at the auction – it became the highest-selling vehicle in the entire history of the Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach event.
The Huayra is powered by a twin-turbocharged 6.0L V-12 engine paired with a seven-speed sequential manual transmission, producing approximately 730 horsepower. The car showed just 3,751 kilometers on the odometer, essentially new despite being nearly a decade old.
Pagani produces fewer than 50 cars per year worldwide, making any Huayra a genuinely rare collector asset. The Palm Beach result reflects the growing appetite for ultra-exclusive hypercars at auction.
The second-highest result at the Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach auction was a 2025 Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale, which sold for $1,870,000 – claiming the title of second-highest sale in Palm Beach auction history.
The SF90 XX Stradale is Ferrari’s most track-focused road-legal PHEV, combining a twin-turbocharged 4.0L V8 with three electric motors for a combined output of 1,030 horsepower. It sprints from 0-100 km/h in just 2.3 seconds and tops out at 320 km/h.
Barrett-Jackson CEO Craig Jackson called the dual record results “an impressive achievement that demonstrates the strength of the collector car market and the immense trust that consignors and bidders have in Barrett-Jackson.”
One of the most meaningful sales of the weekend was the 2026 GM Defense Infantry Squad Vehicle-Utility (ISV-U), which sold for exactly $1,000,000.
This was the first-ever public auction of an ISV-U – a military-grade utility vehicle developed by GM Defense. NASCAR legend and Hendrick Automotive Group chairman Rick Hendrick was the winning bidder, purchasing the one-of-a-kind machine as a philanthropic gesture.
Every dollar of the hammer price was donated directly to the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation, which supports living Medal of Honor recipients, their families, and programs that preserve the legacy and values of the Medal.
