RM Sotheby\u2019s brings the contents of a true Aladdin\u2019s cave to market, on October 11th<\/sup> in Z\u00fcrich (Switzerland). The Swiss \u2018Tailored for Speed\u2019 Collection contains a championship-winning Ferrari 333 SP, the Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo that came first in the 2021 Spa 24 Hours and the Ferrari 488 GTE Evo that finished on the GTE AM class podium at Le Mans in 2019. And those are just some of the race cars.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let us start with the Ferrari 488 GTE Evo, a car that claimed third place in GTE AM class in the 2021 24 Hours of Le Mans. Chassis #3858 first lined up with Iron Lynx at Le Mans in 2020 (DNF).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2021 was a much more successful season, it ended up on the podium in all of the ELMS races it took part in. For 2022, chassis #3858 became the Iron Dames entry, with once more a trip to Le Mans (7th<\/sup> in class), a class win in the ELMS round in Portimao (Portugal) and fifth in class at the WEC race in Sebring, driven by the all-female crew of Rahel Frey, Michelle Gatting and Sarah Bovy. Doriane Pin replaced Frey for the last ELMS races of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just 30 exist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are just 30 488 GTE\/GT3 chassis produced by Michelotto. The GTE chassis differ from the GT3s, which remain closer to the production cars. The Evo package brings refined aerodynamics and debuted in the 2018 racing season. As the final of the V8-powered racing berlinettas, the Ferrari 488 GTE marked the end of a chapter in many ways. Aided by turbos, but reined in by Balance of Performance measures, the 4-litre V8 offered around 600 hp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offered \u2018no reserve\u2019, so without minimum price, RM Sotheby\u2019s expects the Ferrari 488 GTE Evo to fetch around \u20ac911,000 – \u20ac1.28 million ($1.07 million – $1.41 million).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spa race winner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The difference between a GT3 and a GTE car is clear in the pricing as well. This 2020 Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo is offered under \u2018no reserve\u2019 conditions. RM Sotheby\u2019s estimate puts it in between \u20ac857,000 and \u20ac1.07 million ($1 million \u2013 1.18 million). As GT3 488s go, this may be historically the most important one. It contested just the one season, the 2021 GT World Challenge Endurance Cup, with Iron Lynx. But it did manage to win the Spa 24 Hours outright. Ferrari has just four overall wins \u2013 1949, 1953, 2004 and 2021 \u2013 in Spa to its credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last-minute push<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, the 2021 Spa 24 Hours race <\/a>was one for the history books. Wet does not even begin to describe the conditions, and with the WRT team timing their final pitstop better, it looked like Alessandro Pier Guido was very much on the back foot. A safety car period to clear the track from cars that had spun off left and right, brought Pier Guidi back in contention. With little under ten minutes to go, the Italian was back under the bumper of the WRT Audi R8 driven by Dries Vanthoor. Pier Guidi passed him round the outside of the Blanchimont corner, in the wet. A move that sealed him the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is still Iron Lynx\u2019 only victory in the Spa 24 Hours to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With more points finishes that year, Pier Guidi, Nielsen and Ledogar also took the drivers title home in the GTWC Europe Endurance Cup. The car, chassis #4606, was parked in the Tailored for Speed collection after the 2021 season. It bears the livery of Spa 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ferrari 333 SP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The undisputed jewel in the crown of the Tailored for Speed Collection, is this, the Ferrari 333 SP chassis #23 (of 40 cars built). Before the 499 P came along, this was Ferrari\u2019s only prototype racer in the modern era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 333 SP was developed by Dallara and Michelotto, at the request of Gianpiero Moretti, of Momo fame. The engine was an altered, 4-litre version of the 4.7-litre V12 found in the Ferrari F50. In itself, this engine was an evolution of the V12 Ferrari used in Formula 1. With five valves per cylinder and a sequential five-speed gearbox, the all-carbon 333 SP was state of the art. In 1998, Michelotto took over production of all cars, starting with chassis #15, and came with upgrades for the engine and bodywork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The car you see here, chassis #23, originally stood unused with No\u00ebl Del Bello Racing, at the end of 1998. Jean-Pierre Jabouille then bought it for the team he ran with Jean-Michel Bouresche; JMB Racing. In 1998, JMB Racing had just won the world title in the International Sports Racing Series (now WEC), with Emanuel Collard and Vincenzo Sospiri in a 333 SP. So, for 1999, Collard and Sospiri would defend their title in what was now the Sports Racing World Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Defending champions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With chassis #23 proudly carrying No. 1, Collard and Sospiri wasted no time in establishing their dominance. They won the first two races \u2013 Barcelona and Monza \u2013 and ended runner-up to their JMB racing teammates at the next round in Spa. Chassis #23 ended on the podium on most of the remaining races, so in the final race at Kyalami<\/a>, fourth was sufficient to net Collard, Sospiri and chassis #23 another world championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>

The car was retired for the 2000 season and sold to a private collector. It quickly moved to Lawrence Stroll\u2019s private collection in Canada, before entering the Tailored for Speed collection in 2021. In 2022, Michelotto serviced it. Chassis #23 was part of Goodwood Festival of Speed\u2019s celebrations for the 75 years of Ferrari that year. Ferrari gave this chassis the famous \u2018red book\u2019 certificate of authenticity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With an estimate of \u20ac4.8 million \u2013 5.35 million ($5.6 million \u2013 6.26 million), this 333 SP does come with a minimum price set. Considering the higher price racing F40s fetch these days, the estimate seems a well-considered price for a rare prototype with outstanding history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

FXX<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, the Tailored for Speed collection contains two blue FXX Ferrari track tools. The FXXs are Ferrari\u2019s offering of track-developed cars for customers through its Corse Clienti program. Forgoing on road homologations, the FXXs are some of the most hardcore Ferraris ever developed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on the Enzo, the FXX Evo pushes out some 800 hp from a V12 that was bored out to 6.3-litre capacity. It hits 100 kph in a mere 2.7 seconds and is capable of hitting a top-speed of 345 kph (214 mph). Chassis #161517 was originally red, but is wrapped in blue to fit with the other FXX models in the collection. The 2008 FXX Evo carries an estimate of \u20ac3.4 million \u2013 3.9 million ($3.9 million \u2013 4.5 million) and is one of 38 cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>

The second, a 2016 Ferrari FXX K Evo, was originally delivered in two-tone blue\/black. It is one of around 60 produced. Combined with a hybrid powerplant, the FXX K Evo develops 1035 hp. This one, in contrast to many other cars, was used intensively and has accumulated over 5000 kilometres. It suffered crash damage in 2016, but was rebuilt by the factory. It has the Ferrari Classiche Red Book. It is expected to fetch at least \u20ac4.28 million ($5 million).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tailored for Speed collection contains a further 35 supercars and classics. Find them here<\/a>. The auction takes place in the Dolder Grand Hotel in Zurich, Switzerland on October 11th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
