106-Mile Ferrari F50 Sells for $18.7M, Auction Record

A 1997 Ferrari F50 with just 106 miles on the odometer sold for $18,705,000 at Broad Arrow Auctions' sale at the Wynn Las Vegas on October 31, 2026, making it the highest-priced F50 ever recorded at auction.

The car hammered at $17,000,000 before buyer fees pushed the final transaction to $18,705,000, short of a $20,000,000 estimate but enough to eclipse a mid-August benchmark by $4,130,000. Broad Arrow's Las Vegas event generated $92,800,000 in sales across 24 hours and produced 10 world records, with bidder registrations up 63 percent and 76 percent of lots sold.

How the sale unfolded and the market context

The F50 led a Ferrari-dominated leaderboard at the Wynn, where the first four top sellers were the F50, a Daytona SP2, a LaFerrari and an Enzo. A 2025 Ferrari Daytona SP3 hammered to $18,540,000, a 2014 LaFerrari sold for $8,805,000 and a 2011 599 SA Aperta fetched $4,350,000. Of the 64 cars sold from 84 offered, 33 originated from Maranello; seven of the 10 highest F50 auction results on record have occurred in 2026.

This particular F50 is a late-production example, the 334th of 349 built between 1995 and 1997, and one of 25 originally delivered to the United Kingdom. Finished in Rosso Corsa over Nero leather with Rosso cloth seat inserts, it shows 106 miles (170 km) from new and retains its removable hardtop, factory flight case, fitted Schedoni luggage, unworn driving shoes and complete tool kit. That works out to roughly $176,462 per mile by final sale price.

Technical pedigree preserved

Ferrari introduced the F50 at the 1995 Geneva Motor Show as a 50th-anniversary flagship and a road-legal expression of Formula 1 technology. The car carries a Tipo F130B 4.7-liter naturally aspirated V12 mounted as a fully stressed member to the carbon-fiber monocoque. The engine, derived from the 3.5-liter V12 used in the 1990 Ferrari 641 Grand Prix car, uses five valves per cylinder and titanium connecting rods and displaces 286.7 cubic inches.

Output is rated at 513 hp (520 PS) at 8,000 rpm and 347 lb-ft (471 Nm) of torque at 6,500 rpm, with an 8,500 rpm redline. Dry weight is listed at 2,712 lbs (1,230 kg). Period performance figures include 0-60 mph in 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 202 mph (325 kph). The mechanical layout is uncompromisingly analogue: a six-speed gated manual gearbox, pushrod suspension with inboard electronically controlled Bilstein dampers, and the absence of power steering, a brake booster and ABS.

Collectible values have accelerated sharply: over the past 10 years the F50 trailed earlier blue-chip Ferraris but, as buyers favoured naturally aspirated V12s and manual gearboxes, Hagerty condition #2 valuations have risen 352 percent over the last six years. Standard European market averages moved from about €2,500,000 in 2022 to €5,000,000 in 2026.

Several high-profile F50 results earlier in 2026 set the stage: RM Sotheby’s sold two examples in January for $8,800,000 and $8,740,000; Mecum Kissimmee moved two 1995 cars for $12,110,000 and $12,210,000; another 1995 example brought $9,790,000 in May; and a Giallo Modena 1996 car with 4,660 miles sold for $14,575,000 at Mecum Monterey on August 15, 2026. Broad Arrow’s 106-mile example surpassed that August figure by $4,130,000.

Broad Arrow's Las Vegas sale will likely be a high-water mark for 2026, though one more F50 consignment is scheduled for Mecum Kissimmee next January, a car with provenance to the Sultan of Brunei. Whether the record holds into 2027 remains to be seen.
