LAS VEGAS, NV – November 21, 2024 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – RM Sotheby’s returns to Las Vegas for Grand Prix Race Week, partnering with amfAR and Wynn Las Vegas to present a star-studded auction featuring an extraordinary collection of cars, headlined by the last Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing. This exclusive event will take place during amfAR’s inaugural Las Vegas benefit on 22 November 2024, the eve of qualifying, and will be hosted by television personality, comedian, and writer Jay Leno, honoring Sylvester and Jennifer Stallone, and will feature an intimate performance by the legendary Diana Ross.
The Last Gullwing
The 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing is widely regarded as the most iconic and recognizable car ever made. As the last 300 SL Gullwing built, this car was crafted as a special-order “Standwagen” for display at the 1957 Poznan International Trade Fair, retaining its original Fire Engine Red finish over Crème leather along with all numbers-matching components, from chassis to gearbox (Estimate: US$2,500,000 – $3,500,000).
2006 McLaren-Mercedes MP4-21 Formula 1 Car
The 2006 McLaren-Mercedes MP4-21 Formula 1 car, tested by a young Lewis Hamilton and driven by Juan Pablo Montoya, marks the rising collectability of F1 cars. Restored by McLaren Racing Heritage in 2019, this rare car comes with a McLaren Certificate of Authenticity (Estimate: US$2,800,000 – $3,500,000).
1994 Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer ‘Highlands Commission’
This Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer is number 201 of approximately 450 Classic 964 examples created; Singer Vehicle Design is no longer accepting orders for this compelling specification, increasing this car’s desirability from the outset. This Porsche 911 Reimagined by Singer presents as new and offers an extremely rare opportunity to jump the multi-year waitlist and immediately acquire one of its storied restorations (Estimate: US$1,250,000 – $1,500,000).
2005 Porsche Carrera GT
Built in a modest quantity of 1,270 examples through four years of production, of which only 644 cars were exported to the United States, the Carrera GT is today regarded as one of Stuttgart’s most desirable prestige models, as proven by its steady increase in value over the last 15 years. At the time of cataloguing it displayed just 267 miles on the odometer (Estimate: US$2,000,000 – $2,500,000).
2015 Porsche 918 ‘Weissach’ Spyder
As one of just 297 Spyders specified for the United States, this exquisite 918 “Weissach” Spyder boasts rarity. Currently displaying just 170 miles on the odometer, this sensational, barely driven 918 “Weissach” Spyder benefits from a very short ownership chain, resulting in a breathtaking example of the Stuttgart hypercar (Estimate: US$3,000,000 – $3,500,000).
