Thursday on Bring a Trailer and the exotics are out in full force — we’re talking two Lamborghinis, three Ferraris, a nearly-new Porsche 911 Dakar, a gull-wing swan song, and a Viper that still gives us goosebumps. Nobody has pulled the trigger yet on any of these, which means the comment sections are about to get very loud and the bidding wars are still warm on the runway. Buckle up.
2020 Lamborghini Aventador LP770-4 SVJ Roadster
The SVJ Roadster is the open-air, naturally aspirated V12 scream machine that Lamborghini used to cap off the Aventador era in the most theatrical way possible — more downforce than any road-legal Lamborghini before it, and a soundtrack that’ll rearrange your internal organs. These don’t come up often, and when they do, the market reminds you exactly how rare and wanted they are. Zero bids so far means the floor hasn’t been set yet — get in early if you want a say. Bid on the 2020 Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Roadster on Bring a Trailer.
4,900-Mile 2021 Ferrari F8 Spider
The F8 Spider is the twin-turbo successor to the 488, and at under 5,000 miles this one is essentially brand new with a depreciation discount baked in. It’s the sweet spot for anyone who wants modern Ferrari performance without the inevitable wait-list drama of buying new. No bids yet, but a low-mile turbocharged Ferrari convertible never stays quiet for long. Check out the 4,900-mile 2021 Ferrari F8 Spider auction.
2007 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder
The Gallardo Spyder is one of those cars that ages better every single year — it’s the Lambo you can actually drive, maintain without selling a kidney every time, and still get properly sideways in. The mid-2000s Spyder variant with that high-revving V10 is the version most enthusiasts quietly dream about. Still at zero bids, which is surprising for a Gallardo with a drop-top. Place a bid on the 2007 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder.
496-Mile 2015 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Final Edition
This is the one that really stopped me in my tracks today. The SLS AMG GT Final Edition was Mercedes’ farewell to the gullwing door format, and at 496 miles this example has barely been looked at let alone driven hard. These are genuine modern collector cars — limited production, gullwing doors, naturally aspirated AMG V8 fury — and the market knows it. Someone is going to pay serious money for this, and honestly, they should. See the 496-mile 2015 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Final Edition on BaT.
2024 Porsche 911 Dakar Rallye Design
The 911 Dakar is Porsche doing something genuinely weird and wonderful — a lifted, all-terrain 911 that can tackle gravel roads and still embarrass sports cars on pavement. The Rallye Design package takes the visual drama up another notch, and these are already becoming hot commodities on the secondary market as allocation windows close. First one to bid sets the tone. View the 2024 Porsche 911 Dakar Rallye Design auction.
1998 Dodge Viper GTS GT2 Championship Edition
The GT2 Championship Edition is the Viper for Viper people — built to celebrate Dodge’s GT2 class victories at Le Mans, finished in the iconic blue-and-white racing livery that still looks absolutely menacing decades later. These are appreciating steadily as the collector car world rediscovers American muscle exotics from the ’90s, and low-production special editions lead the charge. Zero bids right now on what might be the most emotionally charged car in today’s lineup. Bid on the 1998 Dodge Viper GTS GT2 Championship Edition.
16k-Kilometer 2014 Ferrari 458 Spider
The 458 Spider may be the last Ferrari that purists universally agree on — naturally aspirated V8, razor-sharp chassis, no turbo lag to argue about. At 16,000 kilometers it’s been enjoyed but certainly not abused, and the open-top 458 is arguably the prettier body style. Values on these have been climbing as buyers realize the turbocharged era closed the door on this kind of Ferrari for good. Check the bidding on the 2014 Ferrari 458 Spider.
8k-Mile 2007 Ferrari F430
Eight thousand miles on a 2007 F430 is the kind of number that makes your jaw drop — this car is nearly two decades old and has barely been around the block. The F430 is one of Ferrari’s most beloved modern classics, a car that communicates everything through your fingertips and rewards real driver skill. A low-mile, well-preserved example like this is exactly what collectors are hunting right now. See the 8k-mile 2007 Ferrari F430 on Bring a Trailer.
2013 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Coupe
The 991.1 Carrera 4S is the all-wheel-drive, widebody version of one of the most sorted 911 generations in recent memory — usable every day, stunning on a canyon road, and now sitting in that sweet spot where depreciation has done its work but appreciation is starting to creep back in. A solid all-arounder to close out an otherwise exotic-heavy lineup today. Follow the 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S Coupe auction.
Nine cars, zero bids across the board as of this writing — which means the real action is still ahead. The SLS Final Edition and the SVJ Roadster are the two I’ll be watching most closely; both have the pedigree to generate fireworks when the serious money shows up. Check back throughout the day and keep those paddle fingers limber.
