1998 McLaren F1 – $13,750,000
Another victory of the Pebble Beach auction, Sotheby’s sold this F1 in 2015 for $13.75 million, dropping it right in the middle of Sotheby’s estimated value of $12-15 million. It’s one of 106 McLaren F1s built. This one, in particular, chassis no. SA9AB5AC4W1048073 (I know, right?) was one of two with an upgraded spec engine. In 1995, this vehicle took first overall in Le Mans. This one bears the signature of Gordon Murray, the famous Formula One designer whose other signature, design, one will find all over this F1. The new owner drives it around Monterey, because why not?
1962 Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato – $14,300,000
Sold in 2015 for $14.3 million, this is not the car driven by James Bond because James Bond is not a real person, but if he were, this is exactly the car that he would drive. This is chassis number DB4GT/0186/R, a first-in-class winner from Pebble Beach, one of 19 Zagato-bodied Aston Martin’s ever made. This is no. 14. It ranks 315 horsies, with 240 foot-pounds of torque. Top speed is 153, but it gets to 60 in 6.1 seconds. More importantly, James Bond would drive it.
