RM Sotheby’s returned to New York City with a selection of desirable luxury cars to host a special evening auction at Sotheby’s global New York headquarters during its December Luxury Week sale series. The curated group of cars, centered around icons of performance and luxury, saw $13,610,200 in total sales with 78% of all lots sold.
Among them was the legendary Lamborghini Countach from The Wolf of Wall Street making a triumphant comeback to New York City. This particular 1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary Edition by Bertone, showcased as the sole drivable model featured in Scorsese’s classic film, sold for $1,655,000, breaking the previous record for the model by $880,000.
Emerging from 22 years of fastidious single-owner care, the 1953 Fiat 8V Supersonic by Ghia is the most stunningly presented example of the fourteen 8V Supersonics, and was minimally used by just four caretakers through the course of its 70-year life. Selling as the top lot of the night and breaking the previous record for the model, this 8V Supersonic went to its fifth owner for $2,425,000.
The only coupe of seven Bertone-bodied Aston Martins built and boasting a meticulous concours restoration by marque specialist Kevin Kay, the 1954 Aston Martin DB2/4 Coupe brought in another record-breaking result, selling for $1,105,000.
