A 2015 Ferrari LaFerrari sold for €5,181,250 on Friday, October 9, 2026, at Broad Arrow's Zoute Concours Auction in Knokke-Heist, Belgium. That is the most money ever paid for a collector car at a public auction in the country. At today's rate it is roughly $6 million.
The LaFerrari was the last lot of the night. Bidding opened at €2 million and ran to €4 million before the room went quiet. The hammer fell at €5,181,250, and the applause drowned out the rain outside. The car was finished in Grigio Ferro Metallizzato, one of five LaFerraris delivered new to Belgium, with a fresh high-voltage battery fitted in August. The original owner paid about €1.2 million for it eleven years ago.
It did not sell alone. The Holy Trinity of modern hybrid hypercars, the LaFerrari, the McLaren P1, and the Porsche 918 Spyder, crossed the same block on the same evening.
The results
- 2015 Ferrari LaFerrari: €5,181,250
- 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder Weissach Package: €3,212,500
- 2005 Porsche Carrera GT: €2,762,500
- 2015 McLaren P1: €1,890,625
The P1 went first. The 918 Spyder, a paint-to-sample Sport Classic Grey car over Espresso leather, went next. The LaFerrari closed the catalog. The sale totaled €34.6 million across more than 90 lots with a 91 percent sell-through, the highest-grossing collector car auction in Belgian history, with registered bidders from 33 countries.
Why the number matters in New Jersey
Public auction results set the ceiling that private deals get quoted against. A LaFerrari clearing at €5.18 million in a room full of registered bidders changes the conversation for every documented LaFerrari, and it pulls the P1, the 918 Spyder, and the Carrera GT along with it. That demand does not stay in Belgium.
A LaFerrari in a normal color with normal miles does not need to match €5.18 million to benefit. The record proves there are buyers putting real money on hypercars they can actually drive. An owner who has been holding a Holy Trinity car and waiting for a reason to call now has one.
What a LaFerrari, P1, 918, or Carrera GT is worth today
Three things set the number: spec, miles, and books. A LaFerrari in a rare color with low mileage, Classiche certification, and a clean ownership trail trades in a different band than a repainted car with no service records. A P1 with the carbon pack and a sub-1,000-mile odometer is a different conversation than a tracked one. A 918 Spyder with the Weissach Package, like the Zoute car, is the version collectors ask for by name. A Carrera GT with its original clutch and a full Porsche file is the one everyone wants.
Color matters more at this level than most owners expect. So does whether the car has been through an auction before. A hypercar that has lived in one or two private collections carries a different story than one that has been shopped.
Listing a hypercar on an open marketplace and spending a month answering strangers is the wrong move at this price. One appraisal from a buyer who already knows the market and can close is faster, quieter, and protects the car.
Why J&S Autohaus
J&S Autohaus has been buying and selling imports from 1723 N. Olden Ave. in Ewing, New Jersey, since 1995. The store buys Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Porsche, and Rolls-Royce nationwide. Pickup is enclosed. Payoff goes to the lienholder. Title work is handled in Ewing. The store retails what it buys out of the same building, so the offer reflects what the car is worth to a real retail buyer, not a wholesale flip.
The number comes from a person, quoted against live auction results, current private asks, and what the store can sell the car for. A clean, documented LaFerrari, P1, 918 Spyder, or Carrera GT will land in the right band. A rough one will get an honest answer.
