On Sunday October 12, 2025, in Knokke-Heist, Belgium, the beach will become for a few hours the most coveted arena for collectors. Bonhams|Cars is organizing The Zoute Sale, and in the midst of 117 lots, two Italian queens will go head-to-head: a Maserati<\/a> MC12 Stradale 2005 and a Ferrari<\/a> LaFerrari 2014. The same aura, two visions of the hypercar made in Italy... and a suspense that promises to be thrilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The duel that has Modena... and Maranello salivating<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the Modena side, the Maserati MC12 Stradale on display is one of only 50 road-legal examples. Clear history, a single registered owner, scrupulous follow-up (13 services since new) and last serviced in August 2025. Estimate: \u20ac3.4 to \u20ac4.0 million. In short, the MC12 ticks all the boxes of the \"modern grail\": rarity, GT1 pedigree, original Ferrari Enzo V12, Giugiaro design-sculpture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opposite it, Maranello lined up a 2014 Ferrari LaFerrari, still covered by an extended factory warranty until December 2026. The official estimate is \u20ac3.3 to \u20ac3.6 million. Beneath its carbon skin, the atmospheric 6.3-liter V12 married to KERS hybridization delivers 963 hp and a soundtrack to send shivers down the spine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why do auctions get so hot?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If the estimate for MC12 seems \"wise\", it's because the quotation has just changed scale. End of August, an MC12 Stradale broke the brand record<\/a> 5,202,500 $ at Monterey, becoming the most expensive modern Maserati ever sold at auction. The market thus validated the \"safe-haven\" thesis for this bird as rare as an Enzo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, LaFerrari is not to be outdone. 2025 will have been a firework display:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
