A rare Lamborghini capable of reaching 340 km/h, the most expensive supercar sold on a leading online auction platform in 2024.

Collecting Cars said the track-only green Essenza SCV12 was purchased through a Lamborghini collector in Europe from a personal owner in the Middle East for £1. 45 million.

The Italian manufacturer has only produced 40 cars, capable of going from 0 to one hundred km/h in less than three seconds.

The moment the most loved supercar will replace Collecting Cars this year is a 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder, which sold for £1. 37 million.

It was followed by a 2012 Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Wei Long (£1.33 million), a 1989 Ferrari F40 (£1.20 million) and a Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing (£1.11 million).

The top 10 sold for a total of more than £10 million, with the remainder made up of a 2014 Porsche 918 Spyder, a 2005 Porsche Carrera GT, a 1984 Porsche 956, a 2011 Ferrari 599 GTO and a Ford GT of 2018.

Edward Lovett, chief executive and founder of The Collecting Group, which owns Collecting Cars, said: “The Lamborghini Essenza is a highly prized track-focused supercar, which rarely comes to the market, so it is no surprise to see it fetching such an impressive price.

“The presence of four Porsches in the top 10 also underlines the universal appeal of the logo, making it a liquid collectible.

“We know that there are hundreds, if thousands, of buyers in the market for a mass-market Porsche 911 at any given time, making it an ideal style for online auction, encouraging a strong festival for the percentage of bidders”.

The most expensive car auctioned on Collecting Cars since the business began trading in 2019 was a Ferrari F50 formerly owned by singer Rod Stewart, which fetched £2.94 million in 2023.
