RM Sotheby’s Miami 2026 is a premier automotive event held on February 27, 2026, at the historic The Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, Florida.
This sophisticated, blue-chip auction features a curated selection of approximately 60 high-value lots, including pre-war classics, 1960s sports icons, and modern supercars with world-class provenance. Whether for the cinematic bidding floor or the VIP social atmosphere, this sale is a landmark on the global collector calendar.
This auction kicks off alongside ModaMiami, a massive multi-day automotive takeover that has completely flipped the script on the traditional concours. Often called the “Art Basel of car culture,” ModaMiami is quickly becoming the Pebble Beach of the East Coast. It turns the Biltmore into a high-octane playground featuring over 400 world-class machines, blending rare vintage metal with the ultimate South Florida lifestyle.
Top Featured Cars
Leading the docket is a 1967 Ford GT40 Mk I, representing the pinnacle of American-led international racing dominance. This rare road-specification example, identified as Lot 172, is estimated between $6.5M – $8.0M. It remains a definitive acquisition for collectors prioritizing motorsport lineage and “as-delivered” mechanical purity. 1967 Ford GT40 Mk I
In addition to American muscle, the auction features a 1959 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider by Scaglietti, an immaculate example of open-top European elegance. This Ferrari Classiche certified masterpiece, cataloged as Lot 145 and estimated at $6.5M – $7.5M, features the desirable covered-headlamp configuration and a numbers-matching drivetrain. Its sophisticated presence makes it a primary candidate for any top-tier Concours d’Elegance event. 1959 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider
Similarly, the 2015 Ferrari LaFerrari offers a transition into the realm of modern hybrid hypercars. This limited-production flagship, cataloged as Lot 183, is estimated between $6.0M – $7.0M, representing a flawless fusion of Formula 1 technology and road-going prestige. This vehicle stands as a testament to Ferrari’s enduring engineering significance in the 21st century. 2015 Ferrari LaFerrari
Four of the top featured cars up for auction at RM Sotheby’s Miami include the 1937 Delage D8-120 Coach Aérosport by Letourneur et Marchand, 1969 Lamborghini Miura P400S by Bertone, 1967 Ford GT40 Mk I, and 1992 Ferrari F40.
Contrasting the hybrid elegance of the LaFerrari is the 1992 Ferrari F40, an undisputed icon of analog performance and the final car commissioned by Enzo Ferrari. This pristine example, Lot 164, is estimated at $4.0M – $5.0M and features the raw, twin-turbocharged V-8 that defined the supercar era. Its documented provenance and low-mileage status ensure its position as a blue-chip investment. 1992 Ferrari F40
Finally, the 1937 Delage D8-120 Coach Aérosport by Letourneur et Marchand showcases Gatsby-era opulence and avant-garde French coachwork. Estimated at $2.5M – $3.5M as Lot 125, this pre-war classic is one of very few surviving examples featuring the streamlined “Aérosport” body. Having undergone a meticulous restoration, it remains a concours-ready masterpiece. 1937 Delage D8-120 Coach Aérosport
