Pristine Ferrari F50 Fetches $18.7 Million as Las Vegas Auction Breaks Its Own Record Books
A Ferrari F50 with just 106 miles on the clock sold for $18,705,000, including buyer’s premium, at Broad Arrow’s Las Vegas sale on October 31. That is the highest price ever paid for the model at public auction. It beat the previous record by roughly $4.1 million.
The sale totalled $92.8 million, the largest collector-car auction ever held in the city. About 76% of lots found buyers, and the number of registered bidders rose 63% on last year. At least ten cars set new auction records for their models.
The F50 hammered at $17 million. That was below the $20 million pre-sale estimate, but the premium lifted the final figure to a clear record. The previous best was $14.575 million, paid in August for a yellow Giallo Modena car at Mecum’s Monterey sale. That car had covered much more distance. Another F50 once owned by Mike Tyson made about $12.1 million around the same time. Two years ago, most F50s sold for between $4 million and $5 million, so the trajectory has been steep.
Ferrari dominated the night. A 2025 Daytona SP3 with delivery miles sold for $18.54 million, a record for a non-charity example. The overall SP3 record remains the one-off 600th Tailor Made car, which went for $26 million at Monterey in 2025 for charity. A 2014 LaFerrari with 5,439 miles made $8.805 million, topping the $8.695 million mark set in August. A 2003 Enzo brought $6.55 million without setting a record, and a 745-mile 599 SA Aperta made $4.35 million. In total, Ferrari accounted for roughly $67.8 million from 25 cars, about 73% of the sale. The three record-setting Ferraris alone made around $46 million.
Other brands also did well. A 2015 McLaren P1 GTR converted for road use by Lanzante sold for $3.415 million, a record for the model. A Koenigsegg Regera in Candy Apple Red fetched $2.645 million. Mid-range records fell too: a 2019 Ferrari 488 Pista at $1.2975 million, a 2001 Lamborghini Diablo VT 6.0 at about $1 million and a 2018 Mercedes-Maybach G 650 Landaulet at $995,000. A 2017 Dodge Viper GTS-R Commemorative Edition ACR reached $472,500, and a 2018 Ferrari 488 GTB sold for $390,000.
The top ten lots brought in about $71 million, around 77% of the total. The F50 and SP3 together accounted for more than $37 million.
Analysts will read the result two ways. The optimistic view is that ultra-low-mileage modern Ferraris are now treated as blue-chip assets. The cautious view is that the F50 missed its estimate, which hints that bidders have a ceiling even in a hot market. Either way, the sale ran alongside the Concours at Wynn, and the combined weekend has put Las Vegas firmly on the collector calendar.
