Record-breaking supercar auction sales

Entities: RM Sotheby's · Nick Mason · McLaren F1 GTR (chassis 10R) · Vince Zampella · Monterey Car Week

Overview

The one‑of‑a‑kind Nissan‑Italdesign GT‑R50, serial 17, is being offered at the Bingo Auction in Tokyo on 20‑21 June 2026. With only 221 km on the odometer and a right‑hand‑drive configuration, the lot is expected to fetch ¥145 million‑¥155 million (US$899 000‑$961 000), slightly above the earlier ¥150 million estimate.

At RM Sotheby’s Monterey Car Week auction, the 1996‑spec McLaren F1 GTR chassis 10R – the sole example in its original scarlet‑and‑yellow livery and owned since 1999 by Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason – is slated for sale from 13‑15 August 2026. Multiple pre‑auction reports converge on an estimate of more than US$35 million (≈€31 million), a price that would set a new record for historic supercars and for a UK‑built car at public sale. The car’s provenance, limited production (only two factory‑built short‑tail prototypes) and full restoration by Lanzante after two serious crashes are highlighted as drivers of demand.

The same Monterey auction also features the late video‑game developer Vince Zampella’s 17‑car collection, including a limited‑edition Ferrari Daytona SP3, with a total estimated value of around €38 million, underscoring the market’s appetite for rare, provenance‑rich hypercars.
