Inside RM Sotheby’s Zurich sale: 42 hypercars from one owner, CHF 70m

An auction in Switzerland sent an instant jolt through the collector scene: RM Sotheby’s gathered at Zurich’s Dolder Grand and put 42 super- and hypercars under the hammer at once, all from a single owner. Not a single lot went unsold: the sale closed with a 100% sell-through rate and a total of about 70 million Swiss francs, roughly €74.7 million. The clean sweep says plenty about demand at the very top of the market.

Ferrari stole the spotlight. The most expensive lot was a 2024 Ferrari Daytona SP3, which achieved CHF 5,348,750—far above the car’s original price when new. Close behind were a LaFerrari Aperta, the track-only FXX-K Evo, and a rare 333SP with genuine racing pedigree, including wins in the world sports car championship in the late 1990s. Given the mix of scarcity and provenance, it’s little surprise the prancing horse led the bidding.

Pagani made its own noise: a Huayra Roadster BC and a Utopia surfaced simultaneously—rare for a marque with tiny production runs and, predictably, a magnet for bids. The top ten also featured a Bugatti Chiron Super Sport and other heavyweights of the collecting world.

One question, however, remained unanswered: who exactly chose to sell such a selection all at once. The owner’s name has not been disclosed, and only speculation circles around possible identities—fueling interest more effectively than any press release.
