The Facts

Bonhams will offer some of the world's rarest collector cars at its Laguna Seca Auction at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca on August 13, with previews on August 11 and 12. Headlining the sale is a 2024 Bugatti Chiron Super Sport, one of only 80 produced, with an estimate of $4,300,000–$4,800,000. The car is a unique 'Sur Mesure' commission with Glacier paint and Rouge Etoilé accents, showing fewer than 1,325 miles and over $450,000 in optional equipment. Also on offer are a one-of-three 1993 Jaguar XJ220-N (estimate $675,000–$725,000) and a 1-of-2 Mercedes-Benz E60 AMG Limited built by AMG Japan (estimate $325,000–$375,000).

The Signal

The auction underscores sustained demand for ultra-rare hypercars and historically significant race cars with unique provenance. The Bugatti's low mileage and bespoke commission make it a trophy for collectors, while the Jaguar and Mercedes offer rare opportunities to acquire competition-derived road cars. The track-side setting at Laguna Seca aligns with a broader trend of high-end automotive auctions at iconic racing venues.
