Broad Arrow’s inaugural auction as official partner of The Quail made US$97.4m on 13 and 14 August 2026, with 159 of 186 lots sold (85 per cent), the house said. It was held at The Quail Golf Club in Carmel, California, during Monterey Car Week, and every price here includes the buyer’s premium.

It was Broad Arrow’s highest-grossing Monterey Car Week sale to date, with more than 1,400 registered bidders. The headline lot, a 2003 Ferrari Enzo in Nero D.S. over Rosso leather, one of three finished that way, was offered without reserve and sold for US$10.675m after competitive bidding in the room. Broad Arrow said the buyer was a millennial-aged collector and read the price as a sign of a generational shift in collecting.

A 2025 Bugatti W16 Mistral made US$8.805m, a world auction record for the model, and a 2011 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport made a record US$3.305m for its model. A 1988 Porsche 959 Komfort made US$2.865m, which the house called a record for an unmodified Komfort, and a 2023 Hennessey Venom F5 Revolution Coupe made US$2.8375m, a record for a Hennessey.

Modern Ferraris set a run of records. A 2001 550 Barchetta Pininfarina made US$1.6275m with fees, a model record, on an estimate of US$1.1m to US$1.4m, and a 2020 488 Pista Spider made a record US$1.545m. A 2019 812 Superfast from a single-owner collection made US$747,500 with fees, a record, on an estimate of US$350,000 to US$400,000, and a 1998 550 Maranello with 527 miles made a record US$648,500 with fees, on an estimate of US$450,000 to US$550,000.

Older cars also featured. A 1968 Lamborghini Miura P400 S made US$4.075m, and a 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster, one of 15 finished new in Light Green Metallic, made US$2.04m with fees, on an estimate of US$1.5m to US$1.8m.
