Chassis no. 1S9SB18185S000062. Lizstick Red over black. 427/750hp, 6-speed, Pirelli P Zero tires, power windows, GPS nav.

Evaluation: One of just 14 Twin Turbo models. Just 755 miles and like-new. A very rare, barely driven home-grown exotic supercar.

Bottom Line: Still one of the fastest cars on the road and with looks and rarity on its side, this S7 twin-turbo sold at the RM Sotheby’s Monterey sale two years ago for $643,000 and others have sold in recent years in the $600,000 range as well. A rarer, faster LM-spec S7 brought $1,022,500 the day before this one crossed the block, but buyer premium at the reported high bid here would have bumped it over $700k, a reasonable number for this car.
