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 bought by a Lamborghini collector in Europe from a private owner in the Middle East for £1.45 million.
Only 40 of the cars – which can go from 0-60mph in under three seconds – were produced by the Italian manufacturer.
The second most loved supercar to come into the hands of Collecting Cars this year was 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 rest consisting of a 2014 Porsche 918 Spyder, a 2005 Porsche Carrera GT, a 1984 Porsche 956, a 2011 Ferrari 599 GTO and a 2018 Ford GT.
Edward Lovett, CEO and founder of The Collecting Group, owner of Collecting Cars, said: “The Lamborghini Essenza is a highly sought-after track-focused supercar that rarely makes it to market, so it’s no surprise that we see it succeed. such a price.
“The presence of 4 Porsches on the most sensitive 10 also underlines the universal desirability of the logo, making it a liquid collector’s item.
“We know that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of buyers on the market at any given time for a Porsche 911 customer, making it an ideal style to auction online, encouraging a strong festival among bidders. “
The most expensive car sold at auction on Collecting Cars since it began trading in 2019, a Ferrari F50 previously owned by singer Rod Stewart, which sold for £2. 94 million in 2023.
