A classic 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider sold for a model record and several modern Ferraris achieved top results at the RM Sotheby’s 2026 Monaco classic car auction.
A 1962 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider sold for €16,655,000 (USD 19,520,000) to increase the model record for the first time in a decade and became the new RM Sotheby’s Monaco auction record holder. Modern Ferraris, including a high-mileage Enzo and LaFerrari, and a Porsche Carrera GT continued the high prices achieved by these models earlier in 2026. At least twenty cars sold for more than a million dollars at the biennial RM Sotheby’s Monaco sale during the 2026 Monaco historic Grand Prix weekend.
RM Sotheby’s Monaco 2026 Classic Car Auction
RM Sotheby’s traditionally arranges a classic car auction every second year during the Grand Prix de Monaco Historique weekend. The 2026 sale was held on 25 April 2026 at the Grimaldi Forum.
The 1962 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider by Scaglietti, which sold for €16,655,000 (USD 19,520,000), became the new RM Sotheby’s Monaco auction record holder. The previous record result was €15,980,000 ($18,392,980) for the 2001 Ferrari F1, chassis 211, which Michael Schumacher drove to victory at the Monaco and Hungarian GP races to secure his fourth world championship.

Top Ferraris Sold at RM Sotheby’s Monaco 2026
1962 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider
The most expensive car at the 2026 RM Sotheby’s Monaco classic car auction was the 1962 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider by Scaglietti, chassis 2955 GT, which sold for a new model record €16,655,000 (USD 19,520,000). The presale estimate was €14,500,000 – €16,500,000 ($16,830,000 – $19,151,000).
The previous model-record holder, the ex-Alain Delon 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider, stood for more than a decade. That California Spider was sold by Artcurial in Paris in 2015 as part of the barn-find Baillon Collection for €16,300,00 ($18,649,760 million at the time of sale).
The only higher California Spider result ever was for a competition version: the 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider Competizione, which sold for $25,305,000 at Gooding Christie’s Pebble Beach 2025.
The Monaco auction Ferrari was the 26th of 56 short-wheelbase California Spiders built and one of only 39 originally fitted with covered headlamps. It was originally delivered to the Auto-Becker in Düsseldorf, who presented it at the Frankfurt International Motor Show. It was restored after 2019 and refinished in Blu Scuro over a red interior with a silver hardtop.

Top Modern Ferraris Sale Results at RM Sotheby’s Monaco 2026
The results of the three top modern Ferraris on offer at the RM Sotheby’s Monaco 2026 classic car auction were eagerly awaited following the exuberant results already achieved in the first quarter of 2026 for similar models.
However, in contrast to the sales in the US and Paris in the first quarter of 2026, these three Ferraris are all European-specification hypercars showing relatively high mileage. All three achieved top prices.
2004 Ferrari Enzo in Argento Nürburgring Silver
Ferrari Enzos have been keenly watched after a yellow 2003 Ferrari Enzo tripled the model record to almost $18 million at Mecum Kissimmee in January 2026. Since then, four more Enzos have sold for over $9 million, while the model record was $6 million since 2022.
The 2004 Ferrari Enzo at RM Sotheby’s Monaco 2026 failed to reach these heights, but the €6,530,000 (USD 7,652,000) was well above the presale estimate of €4,900,000 – €5,300,000 ($5,341,000 – $5,777,000).
The modest presale estimate was due to the relatively high mileage for the model — just over 19,000 kilometres (11,800 miles) since leaving the factory. That is over 8,000 miles more than any other Enzo to have sold for more than $5 million at auction.
The 2004 Ferraro Enzo was one of only nine finished in Argento Nürburgring, a shade of silver that pays homage to the famous German circuit. It is one of only five silver Enzos featuring a contrasting Rosso hide interior. It was delivered new to the UK via Maranello Concessionaires Ltd.
Top Ferrari Enzo Prices at Auction (2003 to 2026)
All top Ferrari Enzo prices paid at public auction exceeding $5 million (nominal, including premium):

In 2015, a 2005 Ferrari Enzo (originally owned by the Pope) sold for a model record of $6 million. It took eleven years for the second Enzo result to exceed $5 million, and then it happened four times in one month in January 2026.
Next Enzos to test the market:

The 2018 Ferrari FXX-K Evo sold for €5,180,000 (USD 6,070,000). The result was just below the euro estimate of €5,200,000 – €5,700,000. The result was below the $8,522,580 achieved at Gooding Christie’s Paris 2026 and $6,512,600 at RM Sotheby’s Zurich 2025 for low-mileage cars.
The 2018 Ferrari FXX-K Evo, car #87, was finished in a striking dark red over black. It is a single-owner car, but the mileage of 4,500 kilometres (2,800 miles).
2014 Ferrari LaFerrari in Signal Green
Of the seven LaFerraris to ever have achieved over $5 milion, four were sold in the first quarter of 2026, and this green one at the start of the second quarter. (Two more are due to test the market in May 2026.)
The 2014 Ferrari LaFerrari at RM Sotheby’s Monaco 2026 sold for €5,067,500 (USD 5,938,000) — well above the presale estimate of €4,000,000 – €4,500,000). It is a relatively high-mileage car with 12,042 kilometres (7,500 mi) on the clock.
However, it came with a unique color and star ownership history. Jamiroquai frontman Jay Kay ordered this LaFerrari in Extra Campionario Signal Green over black and green leather — the only example of the 499-strong production run finished in that colour. It is also one of only 50 cars to feature an exposed carbon fibre roof.
