Khaleej Times
|December 10, 2025
The first auction of supercars held by RM Sotheby’s in Abu Dhabi has set a record as the most successful collector car auction ever held in the Middle East, raising $85.06 million (Dh312.17 million).
The star of the automotive auction was a 1994 McLaren F1, selling for $25.31 million.
The 14th of just 64 road cars was originally delivered to the Brunei Royal Family, finished in Titanium Yellow, but had a comprehensive update by McLaren in 2007 that included the High-Downforce Kit, LM-specification interior, and a refinish in Ibis White.
