RM Sotheby’s 2026 Tegernsee sale sees 23 cars up for grabs at Gut Kaltenbrunn on July 5, supporting the Concours of Elegance Germany.
In a varied line-up of cars it is post-millennium Ferraris that lead the line, beginning with the 2009 Ferrari 599XX Evo – but more of that in a moment. Let’s dive into the highlights first with one for the home team.
This 1957 BMW 503 Cabriolet Series I is one of 78 aluminium-bodied Series I examples built. The car’s service book records its first delivery to Fa Bernhard Blumenfeld GmbH of Hamburg. In 1973 it was sold to Danish BMW dealer Anders Bak Rasmussen, whose family retained it for 32 years. It then passed to another Danish BMW enthusiast, who kept it for a further 19 years, before being acquired by the consigning owner in 2024. It’s estimated at between €250k and $300k.
The above 2009 Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M was delivered new to Munich on September 21, 2009 through Lais Power GmbH. It is finished in Rosso Scuderia with a Nero folding roof, a black centre stripe, carbonfibre exterior package and Rosso Scuderia brake calipers. The interior is trimmed in Nero Alcantara and fitted with carbonfibre racing seats, with Cavallinos stitched into the headrests in Rosso thread.
The service history records visits to Mille Miglia Motors in Starnberg in August 2010 and May 2012. The car later moved to Austria, where Wolfgang Denzel Auto of Vienna serviced it in June 2016, followed by Scuderia Gohm of Vösendorf in May 2021 and Ferrari dealer Ing H Pichler Ges in Wels in March 2024. It has since returned to Germany and is offered by the vendor through Ferrari Autohaus Blöchl, and has covered 27,270km. It’s estimated at between €600k and €650k.
This 1992 RUF BTR 3.8 started life as a Maritime Blue 964-type Porsche Carrera RS N/GT, produced on June 12, 1992 and delivered in Germany through Porsche Zentrum Darmstadt to its first owner in Frankfurt. It was specified with the M003 Club Sport package, which added a roll cage, Recaro bucket seats with Schroth harnesses, thinner glass, simplified door cards and a lightweight wiring loom.
In 1999, the car was sent to RUF Automobile for conversion to BTR 3.8 specification. The work included a turbocharged Type M64/50 engine enlarged to 3.8 litres, producing 415PS, plus a six-speed manual RUF gearbox. RUF also fitted a Turbo-style rear spoiler, exhaust end pipes, instruments, suspension, brakes, additional oil cooler, dual-mass flywheel and OZ Racing wheels. The conversion cost more than 106,000DM. The odometer showed 25,902km when the RUF conversion was carried out, at which point the instrument cluster was replaced and reset. It now displays 6222km, suggesting total mileage of around 32,000km. After nearly 25 years in storage, the car returned to RUF in December 2025 for maintenance including a new windscreen, brake overhaul, Bilstein suspension, major engine service and new tyres, costing €29,785. It’s estimated at between €360k and €450k.
The 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM AMG Cabriolet shown above was completed on August 16, 2006. It is finished in Bright Silver Metallic with a Black soft-top roof and a Black and Anthracite fabric and leather interior. The car was specified with the equipment package for Avantgarde models, along with aluminium trim for selected interior elements. Its odometer shows 1997km, and is being offered by its original supplying dealership. Maintenance includes a January 2026 service carried out by Autohaus Zanker. It’s estimated at between €450k and €550k.
This 2009 Ferrari 599XX Evo, chassis ZFF69PXX000169968, leads the sale with a pre-sale estimate of €2m-€2.5m, however RM Sotheby’s hadn’t released details of the car’s history at the time of writing. Independent 599XX register material identifies it as Evo number 21, while event records and photography link the car with Peter Bukhtoyarov and Valentin Bukhtoyarov in Ferrari XX Programme appearances.
Other cars of note at the 2026 Tegernsee sale without profiles at the time of writing include a 2023 Ferrari 812 Competizione (€1.25m-€1.5m), 1971 Mercedes-Benz 280 SE 3.5 Cabriolet (€300k-€400k) and 2004 Porsche Carrera GT (€1.2m-€1.6m).
Pictured above, this 1960 Porsche 356 B Carrera 1600 GS/GT Coupé is one of a reported 29 Carrera 1600 GS/GT Coupés built. Its Kardex recorded chassis 110843 as a factory ‘Carrera GT’, with the lightweight B-Series body and Porsche 550 Spyder-derived 1.6-litre type 692/3 four-cam engine specification.
The car was completed in December 1959 in Silver Metallic over Black vinyl, with an 80-litre fuel tank, headlight stone guards and dimmable interior mirror. It was delivered to the US in March 1960 through Max Hoffman in New York. Later US owners included RE Seco in Miami, John Norris, Jeff Keiner, Tony Peck and Robert B Cole. Under Peck’s ownership, its correct-type replacement 692/3 engine was rebuilt by Bill Doyle of Rennwagen Motor Company.
The car was acquired by the consigning owner through the Blackhawk Collection in 1994 and returned to Germany. Porsche carried out carburettor and electrical work in Stuttgart in 1995, while Classic Power completed €11k of mechanical work in 2020. At the 2026 Tegernsee sale, it’s estimated at between €470k and €570k.
This 2015 Ferrari 458 Speciale is finished in Rosso Corsa with a contrasting Nero roof, with a carbonfibre front splitter and rear diffuser, Scuderia wing shields, Rosso Corsa brake calipers and titanium exhaust finishers. The cabin is trimmed in red and black Alcantara, with red Cavallino headrest stitching. Further equipment includes front and rear parking sensors, a rear-view camera, cruise control and a front-axle lift system.
The car was delivered to its single private owner in Germany and registered on October 8, 2015. Service invoices record work by Emil Frey Sportive of Munich in April 2023, June 2024 and July 2025, including oil and filter service, ignition coils, brake fluid, spark plugs and timing-belt replacement. It’s estimated at between €500k and €600k.
Lastly for the cars, here’s something to keep an eye on. The Porsche 997.2 GT3 RS 4.0 is currently one of the hottest properties in the Porsche world, because in Europe they’re roughly €450k-€550k for used LHD cars with mileage, €600k-€780k for very low-mileage collector-grade examples and £650k-plus for rare UK RHD cars. This brings the €225k-€250k for this 997.2 GT3 RS 3.8 up for grabs at the 2026 Tegernsee sale into sharper focus.
Of course, Porsche built 600 examples of the 997.2 GT3 RS 4.0, compared with roughly 1500-2000 examples of the 997.2 GT3 RS 3.8, depending on source. However, those in the know suggest that however wonderful the 4.0 is, the 3.8 isn’t a third of the car to drive, and is remarkably close to its more expensive brethren. That means that even in this rarefied world, a 997 GT3 RS 3.8 could be seen as excellent value.
This 2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RS was built by Porsche on May 10, 2010. It was configured for Finland under country code C13, and finished in Carrara White with Guards Red details. It was specified with the Clubsport package, plus a 90-litre extended-range fuel tank, cruise control, front-axle lift, Sound Package Plus, Sport Chrono Package Plus and PCM with extended navigation. Further equipment includes a limited-slip differential lock and 19-inch GT3 centre-lock wheels.
It has since returned to Germany, and it currently shows 35,450km and had a December 2025 service by Ralf Goral in Moers. It’s estimated at between €240k and €280k.
Finally, there’s this 2018 Max Verstappen Red Bull Racing Puma racing suit. It’s offered at €20k-€30k, and is offered at no reserve.
