RM Sotheby’s will host an outstanding boutique sale of 18 exceptional cars at Zurich’s Park Hyatt hotel on 26 September. With the latest in modern hypercars and a selection of the world’s most desirable supercars, through to stunning examples of blue-chip classics of the 1960s and 70s, the auction will kick-start RM Sotheby’s calendar of live autumn sales.
Few cars can claim to have garnered more attention over the past 40 years than the iconic Ferrari F40. Offered in Zurich is an example delivered new to Switzerland in July 1991 in the desirable “cat, non-adjust” specification. The car retains its matching-numbers V-8 engine and gearbox and is presented in its factory-correct colour pairing of Rosso Corsa over Stoffa Vigogna. Certified by Ferrari Classiche in October 2018 and presented with its “Red Book”, the car is estimated at CHF3,200,000 - CHF3,500,000.
With only 100 units worldwide, the 2020 Pagani Huayra Roadster offers a rare opportunity to acquire one of the very final examples of the series crafted at the Atelier in San Cesario sul Panaro. Presented in stunning Rosso Dubai paint and complemented by Gold diamond-cut alloy wheels, it also features a two-tone interior that combines Black premium Malevic leather and Alcantara upholstery with Red stitching. With single-owner provenance and offered directly from its sole custodian, it has covered just 592 kilometres at the time of cataloguing and is estimated at CHF 2,500,000- CHF 3,000,000.
Almost as rare and certainly no less exclusive is the 2024 Mercedes-AMG ONE. Mercedes-AMG’s halo hypercar is an engineering marvel, powered by a turbocharged 1.6-litre hybrid V-6 derived from Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg’s 2016 double Formula 1 World Championship-winning W07 race car. With single ownership from new and finished in Black with Silver Three-Pointed Star livery and Petronas Green accents over an interior trimmed. The car displays a mere 506 kilometres at the time of cataloguing (Estimate: CHF2,300,000 - CHF2,500,000).

The 1969 Lamborghini Miura P400 S to feature in the sale is one of 338 examples of the P400 S built, boasting its matching-numbers V-12 engine and is an early specification car notably featuring solid disc brakes. Presented in its factory-correct colours of Rosso Corsa over a Nero and beige interior, the car was delivered new to France and was formerly owned by Formula 1 race winner and ex-Ferrari driver René Arnoux (Estimate: CHF1,400,000 - CHF1,600,000). The Miura is complemented by a 1991 Lamborghini Diablo, featuring the mighty 485 horsepower 5.7-litre V-12 engine, paired with a five-speed manual gearbox. Finished in Rosso over a Nero leather interior and with just 35,423 kilometres at the time of cataloguing, the car is estimated at CHF 160,000 - CHF 200,000.
Few cars are as evocative and instantly recognisable as a 1965 Aston Martin DB5 Vantage resplendent in its original factory colour of Silver Birch. One of only 21 Vantage-powered saloons configured in left-hand drive, the example on offer benefits from an expert three-year comprehensive restoration completed by Aston Martin Works in Newport Pagnell in 2021. Beautifully presented with its original specification dark blue leather interior, this wonderful car is estimated at CHF 800,000 - CHF 950,000.
