Abu Dhabi Collectors’ Week Feels Like a Race Weekend With Rare Paganis, McLarens and More

Abu Dhabi

The first-ever event blends hypercars, historic performance models and future racing machines under one roof.

Hypercars and Legends Take Center Stage

This December, Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi will host the inaugural Collectors’ Week at The St. Regis Saadiyat Island Resort, coinciding with Formula 1 weekend. The automotive lineup is a feast for enthusiasts, led by the 2017 Pagani Zonda 760 Riviera, a one-of-one creation by Horacio Pagani. Dressed in Pearl White with electric blue accents, the Zonda boasts a 7.3-liter AMG-tuned V-12 and hand-sculpted carbon fiber, traveling just over 900 kilometers. Alongside it sits the 2010 Aston Martin One-77, balancing technical prowess and understated elegance with its carbon-fiber chassis, aluminum shell, and red-trimmed black leather interior.

A Meeting of McLaren Generations

Two icons that defined modern performance come together for the first time: the 1994 McLaren F1 and the 2025 Gordon Murray Automotive T.50. The F1 set the benchmark with its 6.1-liter BMW V-12 and center-seat layout, while the T.50 channels the same philosophy into the modern era with mechanical purity and a Cosworth V-12. Seeing these cars side by side reveals the evolution of Gordon Murray’s vision, marrying heritage with contemporary engineering excellence.

Future Racing Machines on Offer

Collectors will also gain unprecedented access to McLaren’s racing ecosystem, with three future competition cars on auction, including a 2026 Formula 1 chassis, a 2027 World Endurance Championship LMDh prototype, and a 2026 Arrow McLaren IndyCar raced by Pato O’Ward. Beyond the headline lots, other legends like the 1990 Ferrari F40, Porsche 918 Spyder Weissach, and Bugatti Veyron Nocturne showcase the pinnacle of automotive design and performance. Abu Dhabi Collectors’ Week offers a rare convergence of art, engineering, and culture, running from December 2 to 5, 2025.
