Since 2011, in partnership with the prestigious Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, the auction has been held Villa Erba , an event organized by RM Sotheby’s on the shores of Lake Como in Italy. This year the auction takes on added importance. For the first time, the three sports that make up the Holy Trinity will go on sale at the same event: Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1 and Porsche 918.
GLORIES OF THE PAST: McLaren F1 HDF. a hymn to performance
In the case of the Ferrari LaFerrari, the Italian model is equipped with a 6.3 liter V12 engine (800 hp and 700 Nm) associated with an electric unit (163 hp and 270 Nm); in turn, the McLaren P1 has a 737 hp 3.8 V8 engine and a 179 hp electric motor, with a combined total power of 917 hp. The P1 GTR added 83 hp to the P1, reaching 1000. Finally, the Porsche 918 is equipped with a 4.6 V8 engine with 608 hp, associated with two electric motors for a total of 887 hp of power and 1280 Nm of maximum torque . But let's go by parts.Ferrari LaFerrari – estimated between 2.6 and 3.2 million euros
Although it was purchased in 2014 and sold the following year to a collector, the model in question has only 180 km (!) on the meter. Painted in the classic Rosso Corsa with black roof and rearview mirrors and a matching interior, according to the auctioneer, this LaFerrari was one of the first examples to come out of the Maranello factory.
McLaren P1 GTR – estimated between 3.2 and 3.6 million euros
This McLaren P1 GTR is one of the few racing versions modified by Lanzante Motorsport to be able to ride on public roads. Like the LaFerrari, the mileage is very low – just 360 km.
Porsche 918 – estimated between 1.2 and 1.4 million euros
This is an unprecedented model: the only Porsche 918 painted in Arrow Blue tones. Unlike the two previous ones, the German sports car was properly used, having covered almost 11 000 km. It has recently undergone an overhaul and has been given a protective body film, new tires and a set of brake pads.
The Villa Erba auction is scheduled for the 27th of May in Italy.
