More than £20million worth of hypercars up for sale at Bonhams’ Quail Auction

2020 Bugatti Divo

Estimate: £5.3million-£6.8million

The Bugatti Divo was a limited-run version of the Chiron, itself hardly a car that you could accuse of being mass-produced. Only 40 Divos were built, and they were named in honour of two-time Targa Florio winner Albert Divo. They were all sold before its public unveiling at the 2018 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. 

There’s more to the Divo than a restyle. The suspension was revised for greater agility, the chassis was stiffened and weight dropped by 377kg thanks to lightweight wheels, a carbon fibre intercooler cover and revised sound deadening.

The facelift was functional, too, contributing an extra 90kg of downforce to a total of 456kg. Typical Bugatti luxury is retained inside, but in the case of the Divo it’s complemented by motorsport-inspired carbon fibre elements.

This is the first Divo to be offered for sale at auction, its two owners having covered just 800 miles between them. It was recently displayed at the Peterson Museum as part of his exhibition of hypercars. Those who know their Bugattis intimately will have spotted the aftermarket wheels. The car will be sold with the originals too, wearing their barely used factory Michelin tyres. It has the highest estimate in the 2025 Quail auction.

2021 Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport

Estimate: £2.8million-£3.2million

If you don’t already know, you can guess the Chiron’s Pur Sport raison d’etre from its name. It’s the most driver-focused variant of the Chiron line and came in response to customer demand for a more agile Bugatti hypercar. So, what did they get? Revised suspension with stiffer springs, more lateral grip, greater downforce and faster gearshifts.

That revised 7-speed dual-clutch transmission also has shorter gearing that results in a 0-60mph time of 2.3 seconds. Well, 1,500PS (1,103kW) and 1,599Nm (1,179lb ft) will do that, especially when allied to a weight reduction of 49kg. Visual giveaways to the Pur Sport include an aggressive splitter and diffuser combination, enlarged air intakes and titanium exhaust outlet.

There were 60 built, each bespoke to its first owner. This one was delivered to its first owner in Miami in 2021 and has since covered less than 500 miles per year, leaving it fresh for its next owner.

2023 Bugatti Chiron Super Sport

Estimate: £2.6million-£3.4million

Completing the triumvirate of Bugattis in the Quail sale is this Chiron Super Sport, an evolution of the ‘regular’ Chiron from 2016. The Super Sport is descended from the Chiron Super Sport 300+ prototype that, in 2019, became the first hypercar to exceed 300mph, clocking 304.773mph. 

The road-going production model, launched in 2023, is limited to 273mph for road use and still boasts the comfort for which Bugatti flagship models are known. It has the same 2.3-second 0-60mph time as the Pur Sport listed above, and on acceleration run doesn’t engage top gear until 261mph. It’s driven by the 8.0-litre quad turbocharged W16 engine that Bugatti has been using for many years. You’ll spot a Super Sport by its long-tail rear end, which is extended by 25cm and has additional aerodynamic tweaks to improve stability. There are similar alterations at the front to suit the elevated high speed.

Around 80 Chiron Super Sports were built and the example being offered has just 740 miles on the clock.

2017 Pagani Huayra Roadster

Estimate: £2.4million-£2.7million

And now for a change of marque and a move to Italy with this Huayra Roadster. The Roadster arrived in 2017, six years behind its fixed-head sibling, and bucked the usual trend of roof removal by being lighter and stiffer than the car from which it was derived. 

The twin-turbocharged 6.0-litre AMG V12 was tuned to 775PS (570kW) and 1,000Nm (738lb ft). The result is a 0-60mph time of under three seconds and a top speed of 238mph. Any Pagani is about more than the figures, though. The boutique supercar maker is also about craftsmanship, and that’s in abundant evidence inside and out.

This one features red and black leather with diamond stitching alongside billet aluminium switchgear, custom instrumentation and carbon fibre detailing. It was sold new to a Californian owner and was selected by Horacio Pagani to be displayed at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show. This makes it particularly special among the 100 Roadsters that were built, and during its eight-year life the car has covered an average of 100 miles per year in its life.

2022 Pagani Huayra R

Estimate: £2.1million-£2.6million

Sticking with Pagani, we have one of just 30 Huayra Rs built. As with the R edition of the Zonda that preceded the Huayra, this was a track-only machine that took its performance to the nth degree. In this case, its 6.0-litre AMG V12 engine produces 861PS (633kW) at 8,250rpm, and it doesn’t redline until 9,000rpm. Maximum torque (749Nm, 552lb ft) arrives at a steadier 5,500rpm and is with you all the way to 8,300rpm. The result is a resonant soundtrack reminiscent of a 1980s Formula 1 car.

The Huayra’s styling has a track-ready restyle to incorporate a gulping roof scoop, an extended rear wing and additional air intakes. The aero additions provide 90kg of downforce at 199mph, and work in league with aluminium double wishbones to make the Huayra R a formidable track machine. Inside, some of the usual Pagani exuberance gives way to lightweight sensibilities, and you’ll also find an FIA GT certified rollcage, carbon fibre racing seats and six-point harnesses. It means business. 

The car, number 23 of the 30 built, has seen so little action that the exhaust headers have yet to discolour. It has just 200km on the clock and has remained static for the past year. Will a change of ownership see it finally unleashed?

2022 Apollo Intensa Emozione ‘Ocean Dragon’

Estimate: £1.9million-£2.6million

The name is Italian for Intense Emition, but Apollo was the rebirth of the German supercar maker formerly known as Gumpert. The project was led by Hong Kong entrepreneur Norman Choi and only ten would be made for the global market. 

A carbon fibre monocoque chassis is home to 6.3-litre naturally-aspired V12 engine that produces 790PS (581kW) which it converts to a top speed of 217mph and a 0-60mph time of 2.7 seconds. It drives through a 6-speed paddleshift sequential transmission. Occupants are treated to an Alcantara trimmed interior and carbon fibre seats in an interior that is performance focused but beautifully finished.

The example being auctioned is known as the ‘Ocean Dragon’ and was shown frequently by its first Connecticut-based owner. At the 2023 Monterey Car Week, for instance, it drew much attention thanks to its unusual styling and that incredible coloured carbon fibre finish. With so few having been built, this is a rare opportunity to get your name on the logbook of an Apollo Intensa Emozione.

2021 Koenigsegg Regera

Estimate: £1.7million-£2.3million

Rounding off the selection of seven-figure hypercars is this Koenigsegg Regera. The Swedish hypercar was produced from 2016 to 2022, having been first revealed at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. Unlike the other hypercars in this list, the Regera has a turbocharged V8 engine which is paired with three electric motors. Together they produce 1,500PS (1,103kW) and 2,000Nm (1,475lb ft) of torque. 

How it’s delivered varies from the norm, too; the Koenigsegg Direct Drive is a patented system that has one gear from rest to V-max. It gets from rest to 62mph in 2.8 seconds and it can operate in electric mode around town.

The car offered has the optional clear carbon finish to show off Koenigsegg’s naked carbon construction. In total, it benefits from almost £600,000 worth of extras, which makes it all the more surprising that it has been driven for only 70 miles since being built. Even by the precious standard of cosseted hypercars, that’s very minimal use. It has fantastic grand touring credentials that have as yet been unfulfilled.
