If you think the market for ultra-rare supercars has plateaued, think again. RM Sotheby’s has just announced the Tailored for Speed Collection, a single-owner lineup of 42 cars heading to auction on October 11, 2025, at Zurich’s Dolder Grand Hotel. What you’re looking at here is a curated selection of hypercars, race legends, and bespoke builds that even seasoned collectors rarely see gathered in one place.
Let’s start with the headliners. This will be the first time that some of the most noteworthy models from Ferrari’s Corse Clienti XX Program, including an FXX Evoluzione, 599XX Evoluzione, and the eagerly awaited FXX K Evo, will cross the block together from a single private collection. Race-bred at Fiorano and built specifically for factory-backed track use, these vehicles are usually confined to Maranello’s inner circle. They represent as close as a civilian can get to Ferrari’s Formula One technology.
Next up is the iconic 1998 Ferrari 333 SP, a car that has triumphed at Barcelona and Monza during the 1999 Sports Racing World Cup. With an estimated value of CHF 4.5-5 million ($5.1-$5.7 million), its much-celebrated racing history makes it a crowning piece of the collection. Very few 333 SPs with such provenance have made their way to auction, solidifying its status as one of the collection’s gems.
The road cars on offer are equally breathtaking. A Tailor-Made Ferrari Daytona SP3 and Monza SP1, both from Ferrari’s Icona Series, lead the pack. The LaFerrari Coupe, finished in Grigio, offers a striking contrast against the fiery reds and deep blues of the collection, while the LaFerrari Aperta remains one of the most sought-after modern Ferraris, regardless of its color.
Three separate vehicles—an 812 Competizione A, a 599 SA Aperta, and a 599 GTO—dressed in Blue Pozzi, showcase the meticulousness of the collection’s theme. Even the F12berlinetta 70th Anniversary boasts a unique livery from Ferrari’s 70th Anniversary program, illustrating the extravagance of these specifications.
Furthermore, the lineup features an astonishing array of hypercars including a Bugatti Chiron Super Sport finished in exposed blue carbon, an Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro, a Lamborghini Sián FKP 37, a Pagani Huayra Roadster BC, and the newly minted Pagani Utopia. It’s a remarkable assemblage, combining 21st-century automotive engineering with the artistry that these brands are known for.
Among the competition cars on offer, expect to see the Ferrari 488 GTE Evo and the Mercedes-AMG GT Track Series. But what makes this auction particularly exciting is that over a dozen cars are being sold without reserve. This includes coveted models like the Ferrari 812 Competizione, the 458 Speciale Aperta, and the 488 GT3 Evo. Typically, sellers are protective with reserves, making this an enticing opportunity for buyers.
The mystery surrounding the ownership of this collection adds an extra layer of intrigue. RM Sotheby’s has kept the collector’s identity deliberately low-key, with speculation suggesting connections to Swiss motorsport and Ferrari’s Special Projects program. This is supported by unique details like the collection’s one-off SP38, Daytona SP3, and Monza, all painted in Rosso Deborah—a special color connected to the noteworthy Ferrari client Deborah Mayer.
This exceptional collection carries a collective low estimate of CHF 53 million ($66 million), solidifying its status as one of Europe’s most significant single-owner collections of supercars heading toward auction. Just last week, we witnessed the sale of the epic Mansour Ojjeh collection of 20 exquisite one-off McLarens, emphasizing how deep the appetite runs for curated single-owner sales.
More importantly, this auction reflects an overarching trend: modern supercars are now commanding serious premiums. Evidence of this trend was apparent during our extensive coverage of last month’s Monterey Car Week auctions, where low-mileage modern exotics achieved prices that exceeded expectations. The top sale was a breathtaking one-off Daytona SP3, fetching an astounding $26 million, also sold by RM Sotheby’s.
So, where does the Tailored for Speed Collection go from here? With XX cars, genuine race winners, and modern hypercars all under one roof, this upcoming auction signifies a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire some of the most tastefully specified automobiles ever presented. One thing is undoubtedly true: Zurich in October will be the epicenter of the collector car market, and this is a sale you can’t afford to miss.
