Held on January 15-16, the auction is a staple of the car collecting calendar, with major auctions houses gathering in Scottsdale with their finest offerings for the Arizona Concours d'Elegance.
Leading bids at RM Auctions is a fantastic Ferrari Classiche-certified 1990 F40, one of the most recognisable and desirable sports cars of the 1990s. It is valued at $1.1m-1.3m.
This example has just 5,000 miles on the clock, and with the F40 renowned as one of the most thrilling drives of the era, inspired by Ferrari's Formula One team, it is sure to see big bids from enthusiasts looking to campaign the car at historic races.
The second highest valued lot is a $900,000-1.1m 1988 Porsche 959 "Komfort", which was once the fastest road-going car at 197mph.
Renowned for its tremendous speed with the capability of driving in all-weather conditions while enjoying the luxury for which Porsche is known, the 959 was "a game-changer in the supercar world" according to RM.

Also featuring is a 1993 Bugatti EB110 GT, which presents a rare opportunity for American collectors with very few imported from Europe. Boasting a V-12 engine and four superchargers, the Bugatti is the fastest of the trio, soaring to 213 mph.
This is the sixth production example ever made, with just 139 built by Bugatti.
"We're thrilled to secure this group of iconic supercars for our Arizona sale. Fresh to the market, they represent the ultimate in performance while each maintaining a unique style all their own," says Ian Kelleher, managing director, RM Auctions West Coast Division.
