If you think the market for ultra-rare supercars has plateaued, think again. RM Sotheby’s has just announced the Tailored for Speed Collection, a single-owner lineup of 42 cars heading to auction on October 11, 2025, at Zurich’s Dolder Grand Hotel. What you’re looking at here is a curated selection of hypercars, race legends, and bespoke builds that even seasoned collectors rarely see gathered in one place.
Let’s start with the headliners. This is the first time that some of the most noteworthy models from Ferrari’s Corse Clienti XX Program, including an FXX Evoluzione, 599XX Evoluzione, and FXX K Evo will cross the block together from a single private collection. Race-bred at Fiorano and built for factory-backed track use and usually confined to Maranello’s inner circle, they represent as close as a civilian can get to Ferrari’s Formula One tech.
Then there’s the 1998 Ferrari 333 SP, a car that has won at Barcelona and Monza during the 1999 Sports Racing World Cup. With an estimate of CHF 4.5-5 million ($5.1-$5.7 million), its race-winning provenance by itself sets it apart from static examples. Very few 333 SPs with this kind of history have traded hands, making it one of the crown jewels of this sale.
The road cars on offer are equally outrageous. A Tailor-Made Ferrari Daytona SP3 and Monza SP1, which are both part of Ferrari’s Icona Series, headline the Ferrari lineup. A LaFerrari Coupe finished in Grigio contrasts sharply against the collection’s reds and blues, while the LaFerrari Aperta remains one of the most desirable modern Ferraris regardless of paint.
Three separate cars, the 812 Competizione A, a 599 SA Aperta, and a 599 GTO, all finished in Blue Pozzi, show how deliberate this collector was in curating a cohesive theme. Even the F12berlinetta 70th Anniversary carries a one-off livery from Ferrari’s 70th Anniversary program, showcasing how special these specifications really are.
Add in a Bugatti Chiron Super Sport finished in exposed blue carbon, an Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro, a Lamborghini Sián FKP 37, a Pagani Huayra Roadster BC, and the brand-new Pagani Utopia, and you’re staring at a greatest-hits collection of 21st-century hypercars. Alongside all the Ferraris and Paganis are more competition machines like the Ferrari 488 GTE Evo and Mercedes-AMG GT Track Series.
It is worth noting that more than a dozen cars are being offered without reserve. It includes cars like the Ferrari 812 Competizione, the 458 Speciale Aperta, and the 488 GT3 Evo. Normally, sellers guard these cars with heavy reserves, but here, the door is open to opportunistic buyers if demand doesn’t push the numbers beyond estimates.
Of course, the mystery around ownership of this collection also adds intrigue to the sale. RM Sotheby’s has kept the collector’s identity under wraps, though speculation points to figures connected with Swiss motorsport and Ferrari’s Special Projects program. That also explains details like the collection’s one-off SP38, the Daytona SP3 and Monza, all painted in Rosso Deborah, a one-off shade linked to noted Ferrari client and collector Deborah Mayer.
The lineup carries a collective low estimate of CHF 53 million ($66 million), cementing its status as one of Europe’s most significant single-owner supercar collections, that is now headed to auction. It was just last week, we witnessed the sale of the epic Mansour Ojjeh collection of 20 exquisite one-off McLarens, highlighting how deep the appetite runs for curated single-owner sales.
But more importantly, it also reflects a larger trend, where modern supercars are now commanding serious premiums on the block, something that was also evident during our extensive coverage of last month’s Monterey Car Week auctions, where low-mileage modern exotics achieved prices well above expectations, and the top sale went to another one-off Daytona SP3 selling for a staggering $26 million, also sold by RM Sotheby’s. Clearly then, the appetite for modern-era blue-chip exotics isn’t showing any signs of slowing down.
So, where does the Tailored for Speed Collection go? With XX cars, genuine race winners, and modern hypercars all under one roof, this upcoming auction represents a buying opportunity to acquire some of the most tastefully spec’d automobiles. One thing is for certain: Zurich in October will be the epicenter of the collector car market, and this is the sale you can’t afford to miss.
