Recent Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach Top 10 Highest Sellers

Barrett-Jackson is celebrating a history-making 2026 Palm Beach Auction. The auction house reports the three-day event held April 16–18 generated more than $48.5 million in total sales, achieved a 100% sell-through rate, and raised $1.635 million for charity.

Leading the charge was a 2016 Pagani Huayra that sold for $3.19 million, setting a new all-time record for the highest price ever achieved at a Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach auction. With just over 2,300 miles and one of only 100 examples produced, the Huayra combined rarity, performance, and exclusivity in a way that clearly resonated with bidders.

Close behind it was a 2025 Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale, which brought $1.87 million. The SF90 XX Stradale represents Ferrari’s most extreme road-legal hybrid offering, producing over 1,000 horsepower and built in very limited numbers, making it one of the most sought-after modern Ferraris on the market today.

Here is a complete look at the Top 10 sales from the 2026 Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach Auction, listed in order of final hammer price, according to Barrett-Jackson:

1. 2016 Pagani Huayra — $3,190,000
2. 2025 Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale — $1,870,000
3. 2026 GM Defense Infantry Squad Vehicle-Utility (charity) — $1,000,000
4. 2020 Ferrari 488 Pista — $819,500
5. 2021 Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series Project One Edition — $770,000
6. 2024 Porsche 911 S/T — $665,500
7. 2024 Porsche 911 GT3 RS Weissach — $495,000
8. 2025 Porsche 911 GT3 RS Weissach — $401,500
9. 2024 Porsche 911 GT3 RS Weissach — $385,000
10. 1979 Ferrari 308 GTS — $379,000

One of the more interesting aspects of this year’s results is how heavily the list leans toward modern European performance cars. Nine of the Top 10 vehicles were late-model exotics or high-performance variants, primarily from Ferrari, Porsche, Mercedes-AMG, and Pagani. That reflects a continued shift in collector preferences, where buyers are placing increasing value on limited-production supercars and track-focused machines rather than relying solely on classic American muscle.

That said, nostalgia still has its place. The 1979 Ferrari 308 GTS—the same model made famous by the TV series Magnum, P.I.—cracked the Top 10, proving that pop culture relevance can still translate into serious money when the right car crosses the block.

Charity remained a significant component of the event. Four vehicles were sold with 100% of the proceeds benefiting charitable causes, totaling $1.635 million. The most notable was the GM Defense Infantry Squad Vehicle, which alone brought $1 million, with proceeds benefiting the Medal of Honor Foundation. Barrett-Jackson noted that its cumulative charity fundraising efforts now exceed $170 million over the years.

Beyond the headline numbers, the auction also demonstrated strong demand across multiple segments, including custom builds and restomods. High-quality craftsmanship and unique builds continue to attract serious bidders, even as the spotlight shifts toward modern exotics.

The bigger takeaway is clear: the collector car market is not cooling off—it’s evolving. Today’s buyers are chasing rarity, cutting-edge performance, and exclusivity just as much as heritage. Whether it’s a multi-million-dollar hypercar or a meticulously built custom classic, the common thread is desirability—and at Palm Beach this year, there was no shortage of it.
