The auction scene in Zurich lit up this week as two of Ferrari’s most jaw-dropping hypercars sparked a fierce bidding war at RM Sotheby’s, both smashing past the $4 million mark with ease. No surprise there—Maranello’s rarest beasts always pull top dollar from deep-pocketed collectors.
Ferrari Shares Suffer Record Drop as Investors React to Cautious Long-Term Outlook
A Swiss enthusiast’s stash of unreal metal took center stage, featuring head-turners like the Pagani Huayra Roadster BC and the fresh-off-the-press Utopia. But the real stars? A matched set of LaFerraris—a hunkered-down coupe and its wind-in-your-hair Aperta sibling—raking in a ludicrous $10 million plus when the gavel dropped.
First up, a 2014 LaFerrari dressed in Grigio Ferro Metallic, ditching the usual fire-engine red for something slick and stealthy. Loaded with custom touches from Ferrari’s Atelier program, it rocked FXX-K-inspired silver wheels and carbon-fiber bits everywhere you looked. With barely 1,000 miles on the clock, it vanished at $4.15 million faster than a Testarossa hits 60.
But the Aperta? Oh, it played in another league. One of just 210 ever made, this white-knuckle ride flaunted Bianco Italia paint, silver rims, and screaming yellow brakes. Inside, black leather stitched with electric yellow thread screamed “look at me.” Certified by Ferrari’s fancy Yellow Book and packing only 2,400 miles, it thundered to a staggering $6.62 million.
These gems came from a Swiss hoard legendary for locking down mint-condition, barely-driven unicorns. Dropping eight figures on two cars? Just another day proving Ferrari’s hype train ain’t slowing down—and the big spenders are still all in.
