Ferrari, Ford GT & a Final Edition SLS: Friday’s BaT Hits Hard

Ferrari, Ford GT & a Final Edition SLS: Friday's BaT Hits Hard

Friday on Bring a Trailer and the lineup reads like someone raided the dreams of every gearhead alive. We’re talking Prancing Horses in multiple flavors, a near-new Ford GT with basically no miles, a swan-song SLS, and enough Bavaria iron to keep the wrench-turners busy all weekend. Everything is fresh to the block with zero bids so far — which means right now is your chance to get in early before the sharks start circling.

Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa Re-Creation

The Testa Rossa is one of the most achingly beautiful racing cars ever conceived, and while this is a re-creation rather than the real million-dollar artifact, the visual drama is very much the point. These tribute builds can range from surprisingly faithful to deeply questionable, so the comment section is going to be lively once the gearheads weigh in. Early days with no bids yet, but curiosity alone should draw a crowd. Check out the Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa Re-Creation on BaT and judge for yourself.

17-Mile Liquid Carbon 2022 Ford GT

Seventeen miles. One-seven. This Ford GT has barely been breathed on, finished in the stunning Liquid Carbon option that turns the GT’s already wild carbon-fiber bodywork into the main event. The third-generation GT was already a limited-production unicorn when it rolled out of the factory, and examples this fresh are almost criminally rare on the open market. Get your paddle ready early for the 17-Mile Liquid Carbon 2022 Ford GT — this one is going to fly.

1993 Ferrari 512 TR

The 512 TR was Ferrari’s mid-’90s refinement of the legendary Testarossa formula — smoother, sharper, and a little more civilized without losing any of the flat-12 theater that made the original famous. A ’93 puts this squarely in the sweet spot of the model run, and values on clean examples have been climbing steadily as the youngtimer collector market matures. No bids yet but that won’t last long — have a look at the 1993 Ferrari 512 TR before things get competitive.

4,700-Mile 2015 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Final Edition

The SLS AMG Final Edition is exactly what it sounds like: Mercedes-Benz’s ceremonial farewell to one of the greatest grand tourers it ever built, gullwing doors and all. With only 4,700 miles on the clock, this car has barely left the showroom in spirit, and Final Edition spec adds collector-grade desirability on top of an already collectible platform. These are only going to get harder to find in this condition. Don’t sleep on the 4,700-Mile 2015 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Final Edition.

43k-Mile 2000 BMW M5

The E39 M5 is the car that a certain generation of enthusiasts still calls the greatest sports sedan ever made, full stop, no debate. Forty-three thousand miles on a 26-year-old M5 is genuinely low, and clean survivors are getting scooped up fast as the model’s reputation only grows with time. The analog driving experience these offer is something modern technology simply cannot replicate. Place your bets on the 43k-Mile 2000 BMW M5 sooner rather than later.

3,900-Mile 2023 Aston Martin DB11 V8 Coupe

Fresh off a nearly untouched life, this DB11 V8 Coupe represents Aston Martin’s modern grand touring formula at its most accessible — relatively speaking, of course. The twin-turbocharged V8 (sourced from AMG but very much tuned to Aston’s character) makes this one of the more driver-focused DB11 variants, and 3,900 miles means it’s essentially a showroom artifact. Grand tourers this new and this tidy rarely make it to auction. Take a closer look at the 3,900-Mile 2023 Aston Martin DB11 V8 Coupe.

8k-Mile 1993 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra

The first SVT Cobra kicked off one of the most beloved performance sub-brands in American muscle history, and an example with only 8,000 miles is a genuine time capsule from the golden age of Fox-body development. These have been appreciating steadily as clean, low-mile examples become the stuff of legend at shows and auctions alike. If you’ve been waiting for a pristine early Cobra to surface, this might be your moment — check out the 8k-Mile 1993 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra.

1954 MG TF 5-Speed for Bridge Communities at No Reserve

Here’s the palate cleanser and the feel-good story of the day: a 1954 MG TF running a 5-speed gearbox, offered at no reserve with proceeds benefiting Bridge Communities. The TF is a charming piece of British motoring history — lightweight, pretty, and utterly analog in all the right ways — and the charity angle makes rooting for a strong result easy. No reserve means it sells regardless, so get your bids in for the 1954 MG TF 5-Speed charity auction and feel good about it.

2.0L Flat-Six-Powered 1968 Porsche 912 Coupe 5-Speed Race Car

Closing things out is something genuinely interesting for the club-racing crowd: a 1968 Porsche 912 that’s been converted into a race car and breathed on with a 2.0-liter flat-six upgrade over the stock four-cylinder. The 912 has always been the underdog sibling to the 911, lighter and arguably more fun in the right setup, and a properly built example like this can be a blast on the right track day. Niche? Absolutely. Cool? Undeniably. Have a look at the 2.0L Flat-Six-Powered 1968 Porsche 912 Race Car before the Porsche faithful pile in.

That’s your Friday BaT digest — a spread that runs from a Testa Rossa tribute all the way down to a vintage British roadster raising money for a good cause, with a pristine Ford GT and a Final Edition SLS sandwiched in between. Everything is sitting at zero bids right now, so the field is wide open. Check back later today as the bidding heats up, and as always, do your homework before you swing the paddle.
