In 2024, the auction house RM Sotheby’s and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum partnered to sell some of the most valuable vehicles in the track’s collection. The models included the 1964 Ferrari 250 LM that won the 1965 24 Hours of Le Mans and the magnesium-bodied 1957 Chevrolet Corvette SS Project XP-64.

The Mercedes-Benz W 196 R Stromlinienwagen became the second most expensive auction car of all time after selling for $53 million this past weekend.

A $2.72 million sticker price puts the Mercedes-AMG One hypercar out of reach of all but the wealthiest car enthusiasts, but one Mercedes collector could have had 20 of them for the money he paid for a classic Benz racer last weekend.
