One-Off Avorio Cream LaFerrari Owned by Van Halen’s Sammy Hagar Headed to Auction

Van Halen lead singer Sammy Hagar’s one-off Avorio Cream LaFerrari with approximately 1,100 miles is headed to the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction in Arizona USA this coming January 27, 2024. Limited to 499-units worldwide, the Ferrari LaFerrari is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.3L V12, paired with a single electric motor, that generates a combined 950 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque.

Most are familiar with the Rosso Corsa LaFerrari, but Hagar’s, finished in an elegant cream color, highlights the supercar’s sleek lines, sculpted body as well as aggressive stance. The carbon fiber and black accents further enhance its visual appeal, while capturing the essence of Italian automotive artistry.

This is undoubtedly my favorite car I’ve ever owned. It’s an incredible machine and I’ve adored it since I took delivery of it in 2015, but the time has come to pass it on to someone else who will hopefully enjoy it as much as I have. Everyone asks why I am selling it,” Hagar said, providing a frank and humble explanation: “It’s so fast and so powerful, it’s beyond my skills and abilities,” said Hagar.

Extremely Rare Porsche 935 in Interscope Racing Livery Reaches $1.3-Million at Auction

The world’s only Porsche 917 Le Mans slot car raceway might be a fun novelty item, but this extremely rare Porsche 935 in Interscope Racing livery is something you can actually drive. This is the 49th of just 77 examples built and has 90-miles on the odometer since being acquired from the factory back in April 2019.

Based on the Porsche 911 GT2 RS, its exterior is made from a steel and aluminum composite shell wrapped in carbon-fiber-composite body panels with flared fenders as well as a longtail rear profile inspired by the original “Moby Dick” race car. Power comes from a twin-turbocharged 3.8L Type MA173 flat-six engine making 700 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque, mated to a rigid-mounted seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission. In the cabin, there is a single carbon fiber Recaro racing seat, a Schroth six-point harness, roll cage, and a titanium shifter with a laminated wood knob. Still interested? You can bid on it here.

Extremely Rare Boschert B300 Gullwing Heads to Auction, Based on Mercedes 300CE

There’s the Mercedes-Benz Unimog U1300L camper, and then this extremely rare Boschert B300 Gullwing. Only a handful of these examples are known to exist, based on the Mercedes 300CE, which was modified with the front end from an R129-generation SL.

This required heavy modifications to the vehicle’s structure, including bringing the C-pillar forward by around 25 centimeters and the sills strengthened to accept wild 1.66-meter-wide gullwing doors that provided access to the rear seats. The front seats were sourced from the R129 SL, while the 3.2L inline-six engine was fitted with twin turbochargers, resulting in a power output of 283 horsepower. It’s headed to an RM Sotheby’s auction in November and expected to fetch $300,000+ USD.
