Sotheby’s continues to impress automotive enthusiasts by curating some of the most desirable collector cars of the year. The upcoming auction in Abu Dhabi highlights a stellar lineup that blends heritage, engineering mastery, and motorsport legacy.
A standout at the event is a rare Lamborghini Murciélago, representing one of the final expressions of analog supercar performance before the hybrid era. Known for its naturally aspirated V12 engine and distinctive design, this model captures the pinnacle of early 2000s Italian craftsmanship.
The auction also includes a concept labeled as a “future Formula 1 car,” hinting at advanced design studies influenced by aerodynamics and sustainability. Although details remain scarce, this entry signals the technological direction high-performance racing is heading toward.

"The McLaren F1 still defines perfection for a generation of collectors," said an RM Sotheby’s representative.
Hosted at Yas Marina Circuit, the event underscores Abu Dhabi’s growing status as a global hub for automotive culture and investment. Sotheby’s Abu Dhabi continues to merge exclusivity, performance, and heritage under one roof, attracting collectors from around the world.
