RM AUCTIONS BRINGS MODERN PEFORMANCE TO FORT LAUDERDALE SALE

RM AUCTIONS BRINGS MODERN PERFORMANCE TO FORT LAUDERDALE SALE

FERRARI LAFERRARI AND KOENIGSEGG CCX LEAD SUPERCARS ON OFFER
AT BROWARD COUNTY CONVENTION CENTER

• RM Auctions offers a desirable assortment of modern performance and supercars at Fort Lauderdale sale, 29-30 March
• Highlights include Ferrari LaFerrari, Koenigsegg CCX, Jaguar XJ220, Porsche Turbo S Exclusive, Ford GT and more
• More than 350 collector cars and the assortment of automobilia set for two-day sale, with something for all enthusiasts
• Digital preview catalogue, updated list of entries, and event information available at rmsothebys.com

RM Auctions has released the digital preview catalogue for the company’s 17^th annual Fort Lauderdale sale, 29-30 March, led by a group of modern sports performance and supercars. Regarded as South Florida’s premier collector car auction, the two-day sale—held at the Greater Fort Lauderdale/Broward County Convention Center–will feature more than 350 quality collector cars along with a selection of automobilia, ranging from American classics to European sports cars, muscle, hot rods, customs and modern collectables.

Leading the latest high-performance highlights for RM Auctions’ Fort Lauderdale auction are two supercar icons of the 21^st century—a2015 Ferrari LaFerrari and a 2008 Koenigsegg CCX. The LaFerrari, one of just 499 built, is a low-mileage example of Ferrari’s first hybrid hypercar, capable of producing a combined 949 hp and showing a mere 600 miles from new. Presented in as-new condition throughout, the car is finished in eye-catching Giallo Modena with Scuderia Ferrari door shields, a black roof, and stunning black leather interior with yellow accents and carbon fiber trim (Est. $3,200,000 - $3,500,000). The Koenigsegg CCX on offer is the first American-specification example delivered to a U.S. customer, significant in the sense that Christian von Koenigsegg had set out to build a viable global-market supercar compliant with stringent U.S. safety and emission standards. Finished in black and retaining its dark silver Dymag wheels and matching “Top Gear” rear wing, the CCX has been upgraded by Koenigsegg to 980 hp and has covered just over 1,000 miles (Est. $950,000 - $1,200,000).

Last year, our Fort Lauderdale sale saw a marked increase in the quality of cars offered along with a significant increase in international interest, a momentum we hope to continue and build on in 2019,” said Gord Duff, Global Head of Auctions, RM Sotheby’s Group. “We have curated the Fort Lauderdale auction to new heights, gathering our most valuable and diverse offering of collector cars yet—with nearly half of the entries offered without reserve, making this an event not to be missed on the spring auction calendar. We look forward to welcoming collectors and enthusiasts old and new to South Florida.”

Completing the lineup of modern performance automobiles set for the Fort Lauderdale sale, are:

• 1993 Jaguar XJ220, Jaguar’s most unique supercar of the 1990s. This highly original example is one of just 282 models produced and has covered less than 7,800 km from new (Est. $425,000-$475,000, offered without reserve);
• 2018 Porsche 911 Turbo S “Exclusive Series”, one of 500 built and one of just 200 marked for U.S. delivery. The 911 is presented in Golden Yellow Metallic with carbon fibre front hood and roof accents (Est. $375,000-$425,000);
• 2017 Lamborghini Aventador LP750-4 SV Coupe, stunning in a black and gold colour combination. Exceedingly well-optioned, this is believed to be the last example of the model built for the U.S. (Est. $500,000 - $600,000);
• 2018 Ferrari GTC4 Lusso 70^th Anniversary, a bespoke Ferrari Tailor Made Collection showpiece, this is the only GTC4 Lusso finished in the commemorative 1951 212 Inter Vignale livery (Est. $330,000 - $400,000);
• 2003 Aston Martin DB AR1 Zagato, the 12^th of just 99 Zagato roadsters built. Offered from the Retro Motors Collection, the DB AR1 has seen just three owners and 2,100 miles since new (Est. $300,000 - $350,000);
• 2006 Ford GT, complete with all four available options, one of only 292 produced in Mark II Black with Silver Le Mans stripes, and showing less than 600 miles from new (Est. $300,000-$350,000, offered without reserve);
• 1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary one of only 657 25th Anniversary editions produced and showing less than 12,400 km from new (Est. $220,000-$260,000, offered without reserve);
• 1998 Lamborghini Diablo SV Monterey Edition, the last of 20 Monterey Editions built, painted Lightning Blue with silver SV graphics over cream leather and retaining its original chrome wheels (Est. $200,000-$225,000, offered without reserve); and,

• 1985 De Tomaso Pantera GT5-S, a highly sought-after example with less than 200 believed to have been built (Est. $140,000-$180,000, offered without reserve).
