This is one garage you won’t be able to replicate on Forza Motorsport.
When RM Sotheby’s bring the ‘Pinnacle Portfolio’ to its Monterey sale on August 13 in California, punters will have the opportunity to take home legends that include the first ever built Bugatti Veyron or the last ever built Ferrari Enzo, known as the Pope’s Enzo.
Said to become the most valuable car collection ‘ever presented at auction’, this 30-strong fleet is poised to pass the previous record sale for a private fleet of cars which stands at US$53.9m, or $71.9m when converted to Aussie peso.
Sotheby’s is yet to reveal all 30 cars, however the 23 already known proves the anonymous American businessman who gathered the fleet has meticulous taste.
Leading up to the event we’ve picked out a few going lots that might explain any bank heists between now and August…

MCLAREN F1 LM
LAMBORGHINI REVENTÓN

There are also a slew of Ferrari classics like the 288 GTO, F50, F40 LM, 250 LM, 250 GT LWB that display the collection’s penchant for the Prancing Horse, further complemented by other classics like a Porsche 959 and 356 Speedster, Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing and McLaren SLR, and finally a Koenigsegg CCXR.
