2024 SCOTTSDALE FALL AUCTION – 2018 Bugatti Chiron
SCOTTSDALE, AZ – Sept. 24, 2024 – Barrett-Jackson, The World’s Greatest Collector Car Auctions, will roll out some of the world’s most desirable European supercars and exotic collectible vehicles across the block during the 2024 Scottsdale Fall Auction, presented by Gila River Resorts & Casinos, Oct. 10-13 at WestWorld of Scottsdale. Among the most sought-after will be the extremely rare, low-mileage 2018 Bugatti Chiron (Lot #753) offered on behalf of the undisputed Super Middleweight boxing champion of the world, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez. Bidders will also have the chance to own Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Sammy Hagar’s one-of-one custom 2015 Ferrari LaFerrari (Lot #760) that is set to cross the block on Saturday, October 12.
“We have an impressive group of stunning European late-model supercars lined up for this year’s Scottsdale Fall Auction,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “Many look to European car manufacturers like Bugatti, Ferrari and Lamborghini for their refined approach to integrating sophisticated performance with luxury design. The supercars and exotics we consigned for our October auction are some of the best representations of the most revered marques. When you add celebrity ownership, like Canelo Alvarez and Sammy Hagar, to their provenance, these vehicles become even more desirable to collectors.”
