Gordon Murray Special Vehicles has just announced that its S1 LM super car Chassis #1 sold for a record breaking £15,772,773.78 million at a auction in Las Vegas.

The one of only five car production now sets the record as the most expensive new car sold at a auction (excluding charitable sales).

This world record auction result is a defining moment for our entire team and for the automotive world. The S1 LM represents everything I have learned in six decades of design – a pure expression of driving perfection, engineering art, and a true return to beauty. To see it achieve this scale of appreciation is truly humbling.

Said Professor Gordon Murray CBE.

It is powered by a 4.3-litre V12 engine producing 720 PS.

It arrived to the Wynn Las Vegas auction venue by helicopter.
