A stunning 1970 Ferrari 512 M is set to go under the hammer at RM Sotheby's auction in Paris, with estimates suggesting it could fetch up to €12 million. The auction will take place from February 4 to February 5 at Les Salles du Carrousel in the Louvre Palace, attracting high-end vehicle enthusiasts from around the globe.
This particular Ferrari was delivered new in May 1970 to the Belgian racing team, Ecurie Francorchamps. It marked the last sports prototype used by the team and competed twice in the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans, securing a commendable fifth place in the 1970 season. Notably, this model is the only 512 M ever supplied in the striking Giallo yellow paintwork.
In addition to the Ferrari 512 M, the auction will feature a selection of other remarkable vehicles, including a 1981 Ferrari 512 BB/LM, a 1951 Ferrari 212/225 Export by Vignale, and a 1958 BMW 507 Roadster. Another standout is a 2011 Koenigsegg Agera, one of only seven ever produced, boasting a powerful 5.0-litre V8 engine that delivers 963bhp, making it one of the fastest road cars in existence.
