The History & Future of Ferrari on Display

Friday’s Party Under the Stars featured the Regional Premiere of the Ferrari 849 Testarossa, further highlighting Ferrari’s contemporary innovation. The Legacy Class and 849 Testarossa bridged Ferrari’s earliest U.S. competition successes with its most advanced achievements in design and engineering, noted the release.
Cavallino Auction by RM Sotheby’s & the Tour d’Eleganza
The weekend also marked the debut of the Cavallino Auction presented by RM Sotheby’s. Curated specifically for the event, the boutique sale featured exceptional Ferrari models, including a LaFerrari, which achieved a final price of $5,230,000.
Friday’s Tour d’Eleganza through the scenic roads of South Florida offered participating owners an immersive driving experience, while Classic & Sports Sunday at the Mar-a-Lago Club once again confirmed itself as one of Palm Beach’s most refined gatherings dedicated to automotive heritage, event officials said.
“Thirty-five years ago, Cavallino was born from a simple yet powerful idea: to honor Ferrari not just as an automobile, but as an expression of art, engineering and human emotion,” said Luigi Orlandini, chairman and CEO of Cavallino Inc. “That spirit continues to guide us today in this new venue, featuring a record number of exceptional automobiles, distinguished collectors and true enthusiasts.”
