RM Sotheby’s flagship sale in Monterey, Calif., each August will this year offer an unparalled private colleciton in a special session. Among the highlights are a rare 1998 McLaren F1 (one of five), 2005 Saleen S7, 2005 Maserati, a 2005 Ferrari Enzo, and a pair of Bugatti Veyrons.

Sotheby's statement:

On Thursday, August 13th, the sale will offer the most valuable single collection of motor cars ever presented at auction. The “Pinnacle Portfolio” comprises some of the greatest and most iconic European sports and racing cars of the 1950s and 1960s, juxtaposed against some of the world’s most coveted modern super cars. Simply put, it is a rare collection of automotive distinction.

"While many of the world's most impressive collections were established in the public eye of the car-collecting world, The Pinnacle Portfolio was assembled with a clandestine, surgical precision unlike any other that has come to market. Its almost obsessive focus on perfection, rarity, and the superlative, irrespective of price, makes it the most significant and valuable private collection of motor cars ever presented at auction," says Shelby Myers, Car Specialist, RM Sotheby's
