The March results represent a 37% increase year-over-year compared to 2025. This surge indicates a continuing strong market for collectible vehicles despite broader economic uncertainties. Modern hypercars like the McLaren Speedtail and Ferrari Enzo led the charge, achieving impressive sales figures. The rising popularity of JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) imports, particularly models from the 1990s, also contributed significantly to the auction totals. RM Sotheby's Amelia Island auction was a key event, driving a substantial portion of the overall sales. The auction featured a diverse selection of high-value vehicles, attracting collectors from around the globe.
