Million-Dollar Car Results at the Gooding Christie’s Geneva 2026 Sale
The top five results at the Gooding Christie’s Geneva 2026 auction were for modern Ferraris. A further Lamborghini Aventador also achieved more than a million dollars in the sale.
2024 Ferrari 499P Modificata
A 2024 Ferrari 499P Modificata sold for CHF 8,217,500 as the most expensive car in the Gooding Christie’s Geneva 2026 classic car auction. As the first car of this type ever sold at auction, it also established the model record at just over $10 million. The pre-sale estimate was “In Excess of CHF 7,500,000.”
Derived from the Le Mans-winning 499P, the 499P Modificata, is a non-competitive, unrestricted, track-only variant freed from racing regulations and confines, resulting in a more powerful iteration that makes better use of its hybrid assistance than its competition namesake.
The 499P Modificata is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre DOHC V-6 in concert with a 272 PS electric motor at the front axle, producing a combined system output of about 707 PS. At the touch of the “Push to Pass” button, an additional 163 PS lifts the total maximum output to an incredible 870 PS.
The 2024 Ferrari 499P Modificata sold at Gooding Christie’s Geneva 2026 has not been driven beyond its initial factory shakedown run.
