Q3 2025 Report: The Collector & Exotic Car Market
Auction-realized prices and the public-market backdrop
A resilient quarter that rested on a single week: Monterey Car Week carried roughly three-quarters of the value, Ferrari concentrated the capital, and the collector top end set records even as the broad market cooled to a multi-year low.

The read
What the data shows
Nearly everything rode on one week. Monterey Car Week drove roughly $348 million of the $488.7 million total, about three-quarters of it, as Pebble Beach drew the year's deepest collector capital and RM Sotheby's and Gooding cleared the marquee value. A Ferrari Daytona SP3 led at $26.0 million, and Ferrari as a marque carried some $165 million across 125 lots, more than any rival. Strip out August and the quarter is quiet; the strength was concentrated, not broad.
