Bonhams Miami 2026: Hypercars and More
The Bonhams Miami 2026 auction is shaping up to be one of the most electrifying collector car sales of the year. On Sunday, May 3, 2026, Bonhams|Cars will hold its highly anticipated Miami auction inside the iconic Hard Rock Stadium at the Miami International Autodrome – race day itself during the Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix weekend.
With 30 curated lots carrying a combined mid-estimate of over $41 million, the Bonhams Miami auction caters squarely to serious collectors and hypercar enthusiasts. From a rock legend’s one-of-a-kind Ferrari to a rare McLaren development prototype and an unprecedented trio of Bugattis, this sale offers something extraordinary at virtually every price point.
Sammy Hagar's Ferrari LaFerrari: The Crown Jewel of Bonhams Miami 2026
The undisputed headline lot of the Bonhams Miami 2026 sale is a 2015 Ferrari LaFerrari carrying an estimate of $7,500,000 to $9,500,000 – a figure that would set a new world auction record for a LaFerrari Coupé.
This isn’t just any LaFerrari. It was originally built and specified for Sammy Hagar, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame singer and former Van Halen frontman. Ferrari finished the car in Bianco Avorio, a unique bespoke shade that references a rare 1964 Ferrari prototype – making it a one-of-one example among the 500 LaFerraris ever produced.
Power comes from Ferrari’s signature naturally aspirated 6.3L V12 engine paired with an electric motor, delivering a combined 949 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque. The LaFerrari rockets from 0 to 60 mph in under 2.4 seconds and tops out above 217 mph.
Hagar sold the car at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Fall 2024 auction, where it achieved $4,675,000 – at the time, the second-highest public auction result ever for a LaFerrari. The car has since changed hands again and now arrives at the Bonhams Miami auction with just 1,500 miles on the odometer, accompanied by a signed display plaque and a book documenting the original build process.
2021 McLaren Elva XP2: A One-of-a-Kind Development Prototype
Among the most fascinating and historically significant lots at the Bonhams Miami 2026 sale is the 2021 McLaren Elva XP2 – not a standard production car, but the second prototype ever built ahead of the limited 149-example production run.
Designated XP2, this open-top speedster served as a global press and marketing car, appearing at blue-chip events including Monaco and the Goodwood Festival of Speed before being rebuilt and federalized for the US market in 2022. It was ultimately supplied through McLaren Denver and wears a stunning MSO Tupelo Gold finish over a Raven Black interior.
The Elva is powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.0L V8 producing 804 horsepower, enabling a 0-60 mph sprint in just 2.8 seconds and a top speed of 203 mph. With just 493 miles recorded, the car is essentially as-new. Its estimate of $1,350,000 to $1,500,000 represents a potential world record for the model at public auction.
Three Bugattis at One Auction: A Rare Opportunity for Hypercar Collectors
The Bonhams Miami auction will make history by offering three Bugatti hypercars from three different modern eras – a rare convergence that underscores the prestige of this sale.
The most valuable of the trio is a 2024 Bugatti Chiron Super Sport, one of only 80 examples ever produced. Presented in a dramatic Black Carbon and Jet Grey exterior with Italian Red accents and a Beluga Black interior, this is among the last expressions of the legendary Chiron bloodline. The Chiron Super Sport is powered by an 8.0L quad-turbocharged W16 engine producing 1,600 horsepower, with a top speed exceeding 270 mph.
Next is a 2019 Bugatti Chiron Sport, one of just 60 built in this specification. Finished in Gris Rafale over Beluga Black leather with Italian Red stitching, the car was ordered with over $198,000 in factory options, including the Sky View roof and $56,000 worth of black anodized interior trim. The Chiron Sport features a lightweight chassis and track-tuned dynamics that set it apart from the standard Chiron.
Rounding out the Bugatti trio is an original 2008 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Coupé, finished in Italian Red over matching Red leather – one of the most iconic color combinations for the model. Powered by the groundbreaking 8.0L quad-turbo W16 engine producing 1,001 horsepower, the Veyron was the car that redefined what was possible in automotive engineering when it debuted. It remains a blue-chip collectible more than 15 years after its introduction.
