RM Sotheby’s High End 90 Car Auction Opens At Les Salles du Carrousel In Paris France February 1, 2023
February 1, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 7:00 pm
$40
RM Sotheby’s will be auctioning over 90 high end classic cars at the Les Salles du Carrousel in the Louvre Palace located in the heart of Paris, France.
The one day auction is scheduled for on February 1, 2023 from 10am to 7pm and will include a wide variety of extremely rare vintage, classic, racing, and luxury cars from around the world.
Famous marquees such as McLaren, Lamborghini, Mercedes, Ferrari, Porsche, and BWM will dominate the auction while cars like this one-of-a-kind vintage 1912 Hispano-Suiza and this hyper-fast expensive 2022 Bugatti Chiron will round out the hammer.
This stunning 1912 Hispano-Suiza Coupé de Ville 15/20 will go under the hammer for between €80,000 – €100,000 EUR. The car is a historic treasure powered by a 2.6-liter four-cylinder engine with 30 horsepower. It is believed that under 500 examples were produced between 1910 and 1914, making it extremely rare and collectible.
Prices for this show are all over the map. On the low end, you can spend €80,000 to €120,000 for an extremely rare 1912 Hispano-Suiza Coupé de Ville 15/2 which in my opinion is a great buy for a sliver of one of Frances most iconic car founders and manufacturers.
Adversely, on the high end, you can dish out €4,200,000 to €5,500,000 EUR for an immaculate 2022 Bugatti Chiron Profilée Hypercar. Entertainer Travis Scott just spent $5.5 million on a Bugatti Chiron Super Sport limited edition, which was one of only 30 in the world.
The Bugatti is a favorite among the rich and famous, including Tom Cruise, Tom Brady, Beyoncé, Chris Brown, Jay Leno, and Floyd Mayweather Jr.

This 2022 Bugatti Chiron Profilée is one of the fastest hyper sports cars ever manufactured. Bugatti claims that the Chiron Profilée accelerates from zero to 60 mph in just 2.3 seconds and has a maximum top speed of 261 mph. All that speed comes from the iconic W-16 quad-turbo engine by Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. All in all, the Sotheby’s Paris auction is one of Sotheby’s premier auctions for the well-educated affluent car collector.
VENUE: “The Les Salles du Carrousel”
The Paris auction is scheduled to take place at Les Salles du Carrousel (with direct access to the Louvre Museum) in Paris, France, and promises to offer an unforgettable experience.
