Gordon Murray S1 LM Chassis #1 Heads to RM Sotheby’s Las Vegas Auction on Nov. 21

The unbuilt three-seat V12 model will be specified with Gordon Murray’s input by the winning bidder.

Overview

  • RM Sotheby’s will offer chassis number one at the Wynn Las Vegas on November 21 with an estimate exceeding $20 million.
  • The public sale undercuts earlier claims that all five S1 LMs were secured by a single buyer when the model was unveiled at Monterey Car Week.
  • Because the car has not yet been built or specified, the purchaser will collaborate directly with Murray on the design and configuration.
  • The S1 LM is powered by a Cosworth-developed 4.3-liter naturally aspirated V12 targeting roughly 700 horsepower and a 12,100 rpm redline in a three-seat, central-driver layout.
  • Buyers are responsible for import rules and taxes, with Drive calculating an Australian example at roughly A$50 million once duties, luxury tax, GST, and fees are included.
