The roaring engines, the sleek designs, the extravagant prices—the 2023 Amelia Island Auctions had it all! Check out the top 10 most expensive cars sold and indulge in the ultimate luxury.
, the classic-car insurer, curator of motoring experiences, and new owner of the concours, the total figure from all lots sold was $178.4 million, which reflected an 87 percent sell-through rate at an average lot price of $455,216.
Yet when it came to the 10 most expensive cars sold at Amelia this year, it was mostly the long-revered manufacturers and models that reigned, with postwar Prancing Horses running away with many of the highest spots. All but three on this list are from Ferrari, while Gooding & Company and RM Sotheby’s were solely responsible for the highest sales. Here are the top results in ascending value.Image Credit: Mathieu Heurtault, courtesy of Gooding & Company.
The 1953 example presented by RM Sotheby’s has a provenance made more rarified by Juan Manuel Fangio. The racing great piloted it in front of would-be buyers and the media at Connecticut’s Thompson Speedway. In the following decades, it went through numerous owners and competed in events ranging from the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1954 to the 2015 Mille Miglia Storica and 2016 Zoute Grand Prix road rallies. Its latest steward paid $2,590,000 for the honor of adding to its legacy.
A gleaming example from the golden age of motorsport, the variant presented by Gooding & Company is a Series II, which includes an off-set seat configuration and a fuel tank intended to go the distance with a nearly 40-gallon capacity. Most noteworthy is that it was one of the race cars that competed at that 1953 Giro Sicilia premiere before being campaigned often in Europe and South America. Chassis No.
For its Amelia auction, RM Sotheby’s brought chassis No. 56773, one of 272 produced for the public. It had been owned by the same family for the past 22 years and only had been driven 4,965 miles in total by the time the auction house received it. With Ferrari Classiche certification, it has its original body, engine, and gearbox, which explains its place among the top five most valued vehicles on this list.Image Credit: Theodore W.

Of the 349 produced, the F50 presented by RM Sotheby’s was the 36th example made and had the same owner from new until last year. Complete with custom luggage and only 834 miles on it, the car crossed the auction block for more than $5 million.In the automotive world, Horacio Pagani is a modern-day Leonardo da Vinci, a futurist and innovator with not only a clear vision, but the exceedingly rare ability to execute it without compromise.
