A Year of Hypercars: European Prestige’s 2026 Sales Highlights
Some cars are special because of their performance. Others because of their rarity, provenance, engineering or the story behind them. Then there are the cars that combine all of those qualities — the machines that sit at the very top of the automotive world and represent the pinnacle of what their manufacturers were capable of creating.
In 2026, European Prestige has had the privilege of selling an extraordinary collection of exactly those cars.
From Pagani and Bugatti to Ferrari, Porsche, McLaren, Aston Martin and Singer, the year-to-date sales portfolio represents some of the most desirable and collectable performance cars ever produced. Sixteen exceptional cars feature in this particular selection, including multiple examples of the Porsche 918 Spyder and McLaren P1, alongside some of the rarest derivatives from Ferrari, Bugatti and Pagani.
It is a collection that demonstrates not only the depth of the European Prestige stock portfolio, but also the trust placed in the business when it comes to some of the world's most valuable and sought-after automobiles.
Pagani Huayra Roadster BC
Few cars better demonstrate the meaning of exclusivity than the Pagani Huayra Roadster BC.
Limited to just 40 examples worldwide, the Roadster BC represents one of Pagani's most extreme open-top creations. The example we handled was finished in Grigio Montecarlo with Crystal Clear Carbon Fibre and Rosso Dubai accents, complemented by a Malevic and Rojo interior.
Behind the occupants sits a 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged V12 producing 791hp, driving the rear wheels through a seven-speed X-Trac sequential transmission. Its carbon-titanium construction, 1,218kg dry weight and extensive aerodynamic package make it every bit as serious from an engineering perspective as its dramatic appearance suggests.
It is exactly the sort of car that defines the upper reaches of the collector market: extremely limited, technically fascinating and virtually impossible to replace.
Bugatti: From Chiron to Chiron Pur Sport
Bugatti has been another major presence in the European Prestige portfolio this year, with both the standard Chiron and the far more focused Chiron Pur Sport represented.
The Jaune Molsheim Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport is particularly memorable. Limited to just 60 examples, the Pur Sport takes the already extraordinary Chiron and reshapes it around agility and driver involvement.
Its quad-turbocharged 8.0-litre W16 produces 1,479bhp and 1,180lb-ft of torque, while shorter gearing, revised suspension, lighter construction and extensive aerodynamic changes distinguish it from the standard Chiron. The European Prestige example added 20/21-inch Pur Sport magnesium wheels, exposed carbon fibre and the optional Sky View roof.
Alongside it was the 2017 Bugatti Chiron, finished in French Racing Blue with Atlantic Blue exposed carbon fibre and a Terre d'Or leather interior. With just 1,774 miles recorded, it represented an exceptional example of the car that established a new benchmark for modern hypercar performance.
And for a car that helped create the modern hypercar category in the first place, the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport was a fitting addition to the year's highlights. Finished in Black Carbon Fibre and Orange, this particular example was one of just 48 produced and had covered 1,447 miles. The Veyron Super Sport famously achieved an average 267mph during testing at Ehra-Lessien in 2010, establishing its place in automotive history.
The Holy Trinity — and Three P1s
If there is one group of cars that has come to define the modern collector hypercar market, it is the so-called "Holy Trinity": the Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder.
European Prestige has had an exceptional year in this regard.
Not only did the business sell more than 6 examples of the Ferrari LaFerrari, it also sold 5 separate McLaren P1s and over 13 Porsche 918 Spyders.
The LaFerrari was perhaps the ultimate expression of Ferrari's performance philosophy at the time. Just 499 examples were produced, combining a 6.3-litre naturally aspirated V12 with Ferrari's HY-KERS hybrid system to produce an extraordinary 950bhp combined. One European Prestige example was particularly remarkable, having covered just 472 miles from new, finished in Rosso Corsa over Rosso leather with a carbon-fibre roof.
Then came the P1.
The P1’s sold represented distinct interpretations of one of the defining cars of the hybrid hypercar era.
With just 375 examples delivered worldwide, the P1 combines a 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V8 with an electric motor for a combined 903hp and 664lb-ft of torque. Each European Prestige example brought its own personality, from Carbon Black to Pearl White and another particularly low-mileage 133-mile Volcano Yellow car.
The significance of selling multiple P1s in a single year is difficult to overlook. These are not simply used performance cars; they are modern automotive icons, with production numbers that make every individual example increasingly significant to collectors.
The same is true of the Porsche 918 Spyders, including a highly desirable Weissach Package example with just 27 miles from new, Liquid Metal Silver paint and a Garnet Red leather interior.
Another 2014 Porsche 918 Spyder was finished in Rhodium Silver Metallic with an Onyx Black interior, while a third 2015 example was finished in Basalt Black Metallic. Each is part of a model restricted to just 918 examples worldwide, combining a naturally aspirated 4.6-litre V8 with two electric motors for a total 875hp. European Prestige has been fortunate enough to supply well over 10 individual 918’s to our client base and continues to source some of the best examples of the flagship Porsche model.
Collectively, the LaFerrari, P1s and multiple 918s represent an extraordinary concentration of the cars that defined a generation of hypercar engineering.
Ferrari’s Last Great Naturally Aspirated V8
The Ferrari 458 Speciale Aperta provides a different kind of rarity.
Rather than being defined by hybrid technology or huge power figures, the Speciale Aperta is celebrated for its purity. It combines the high-revving naturally aspirated V8 of the 458 Speciale with open-top driving and a production run that makes it exceptionally scarce.
The European Prestige example was an especially desirable car, finished in Giallo Triplo Strato with an Italian Tricolore racing livery and representing one of just 49 right-hand-drive examples.
Then there is the Ferrari Monza SP2, an entirely different interpretation of the open-air Ferrari.
With no conventional roof or windscreen, the SP2 draws inspiration from Ferrari's legendary barchetta racing cars while incorporating an 800bhp, 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12. The European Prestige example had covered just 75 miles and was finished in Blu Tour de France 70 with LM05 livery, carbon-fibre detailing and a Racing Driver Set.
Two Very Different Porsche Masterpieces
The year has also demonstrated that the modern collector market extends far beyond conventional hypercars.
The two Porsche 911s Reimagined by Singer represent a completely different interpretation of automotive exclusivity.
The Singer philosophy is built around taking the iconic air-cooled 964 and reimagining it without the constraints of mass production. The Indy Commission, for example, features a 4.0-litre Porsche Motorsport-built engine, six-speed manual transmission and a highly individual Dixon Bronze exterior.
The second Singer Classic Study HK16 Commission was an equally special all-wheel-drive example, with just 701 miles recorded and a bespoke specification developed around its owner's vision.
These cars demonstrate something important about today's collector market: ultimate desirability is not always about outright performance. Craftsmanship, provenance, specification, engineering and individuality can be just as important.
The Next Generation: Aston Martin Valhalla
Rounding out the collection is the Aston Martin Valhalla, representing the next chapter in the evolution of the modern hypercar.
Limited to 999 examples, the mid-engined Valhalla combines a Formula 1-derived 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged flat-plane V8 with three electric motors. The European Prestige example had covered just 133 miles and featured Aluminite Silver paint, a Chancellor Red interior and extensive 2x2 twill carbon-fibre packages.
Placed alongside the analogue character of the 458 Speciale Aperta, the mechanical theatre of the Pagani and the sheer engineering scale of the Bugattis, the Valhalla illustrates just how rapidly the definition of a hypercar continues to evolve.
A Remarkable Year for European Prestige
What makes this collection particularly significant is not simply the number of exceptional cars involved. It is the diversity.
A 267mph Bugatti Veyron Super Sport sits alongside a bespoke Singer. A 472-mile LaFerrari shares the same story as our McLaren P1s and thre Porsche 918 Spyders. A 40-unit Pagani Huayra Roadster BC sits alongside an exclusive Ferrari Monza SP2 and a brand-new Aston Martin Valhalla.
Different manufacturers. Different eras. Different engineering philosophies.
Yet every car shares one defining characteristic: they are cars that matter.
For European Prestige, 2026 has therefore been about more than selling exceptional vehicles. It has been about facilitating the movement of some of the world's most significant performance and collector cars between discerning owners, while continuing to build relationships within a highly specialised market.
The examples featured here represent just a selection of the extraordinary cars to have passed through the business this year.
