A few months ago, the video game world lost one of its most iconic figures. Vince Zampella, co-founder of Infinity Ward, the studio behind the *Call of Duty* series Call of Duty, and founder of Respawn Entertainment, also leaves behind an incredible car collection. In August 2026, the collection will be auctioned off during Monterey Car Week, offering collectors the chance to acquire some of the world’s most exclusive hypercars.
Titled “The Driver’s Philosophy Collection,” this auction organized by RM Sotheby’s brings together 17 exceptional vehicles with a total estimated value of nearly $47 million. It’s a veritable rolling museum in which Italian brands take center stage.
The (Italian) gems at the heart of the collection
While the collection showcases McLaren—Vince Zampella’s well-known passion—car enthusiasts will have their eyes glued to three extraordinary models.
The centerpiece is undoubtedly the Ferrari Daytona SP3 from 2023. Produced in a very limited series, this hypercar with a naturally aspirated V12 engine is estimated to be worth between $10 million and $12 million—a figure that already attests to its place in Ferrari’s recent history.
Another standout—not Italian, but exceptional nonetheless—is the 2025 Bugatti Mistral, the last production model to feature the legendary quad-turbo W16 engine, which is priced between $7.5 million and $9.5 million. Alongside it is a 2019 Bugatti Chiron Sport, estimated at between $3 million and $3.5 million.
Finally, it's impossible to miss the spectacular Pagani Huayra Roadster «Executor» from 2024. This unique model, which We had already told the story, is valued at between 5 and 7 million dollars. A true work of art on wheels, it single-handedly embodies the craftsmanship and exclusivity of the San Cesario sul Panaro brand.
A collection conceived as a work of art
RM Sotheby’s does not present this auction as merely a collection of supercars. The auction house describes it as a «masterclass in curation,» with each car selected for its historical significance, rarity, design, or performance. The lineup includes hypercars and track cars, as well as a few more accessible models such as a Porsche Cayman S and a Bentley Continental GT—proof that Vince Zampella’s passion extended beyond mere prestige.
A final tribute to a video game enthusiast… and a car enthusiast
Beyond the impressive numbers, this sale has a special significance. Vince Zampella wasn't just one of the creators of the franchises Call of Duty, Titanfall or Apex Legends. He was also a true car enthusiast and driving aficionado, who over the years had built a collection that perfectly reflected his vision of performance and engineering. Next August, these 17 cars will change hands. But each one will carry with it a piece of the history of the man who left his mark on both the video game industry… and the world of supercar collectors.
