RM Sotheby’s is set to host an exclusive boutique auction at the prestigious Seehotel Überfahrt in Rottach-Egern, Bavaria, on July 4, 2026. This highly anticipated event brings together the world’s most discerning collectors against the breathtaking backdrop of Lake Tegernsee.

As a cornerstone of the European summer auction calendar, this sale focuses on blue-chip investments, rare German engineering, and significant post-war sports cars, offering a curated atmosphere that blends high-stakes bidding with the refined elegance of the Bavarian Alps.

The venue, Seehotel Überfahrt, is a five-star “Elegant Nature” resort known for its world-class amenities and stunning lakeside views, providing a sophisticated stage for the automotive masterpieces on display.

This ultra-rare 1992 RUF BTR 3.8, originally a limited Carrera RS N/GT, features the desirable “M003” Club Sport package. Fresh from a 2025 RUF mechanical refresh, it defines air-cooled performance excellence.

The auction typically highlights a diverse range of vehicles, from pre-war classics and limited-production Porsches to modern hypercars and unique marques with significant provenance.

Following the success of previous iterations at the lake—which have achieved record-breaking results—the 2026 edition is expected to draw a VIP crowd for lakeside cocktail receptions and private preview viewings.
