ModaMiami returns this month for its third edition, reaffirming its place as one of the most compelling gatherings on the seasonal automotive calendar. Born from a distinctive partnership between Sotheby’s auction house and RM Sotheby’s, the event made its first launch with much fervour. While the cars remain the undeniable centrepiece, the four-day programme offers far more — from exceptional dining and live entertainment to curated design showcases. Once again hosted at the iconic Biltmore Coral Gables, ModaMiami builds on past successes to present an extraordinary sequence of experiences, culminating in the highly anticipated RM Sotheby’s auction.
Among the lots are rare and beautifully preserved vintage automobiles from esteemed private collections, alongside a curation of modern supercars from the early years of this decade. Showcasing the very best in contemporary engineering and technological innovation, here are our highlights from the most compelling 2020s supercars offered at the Miami sale.
2023 Ferrari 812 Competizione A
Few configurations capture the essence of Ferrari quite like the open-air, naturally aspirated V12. Over time, such models have come to define the marque’s spirit. One of the most electrifying examples of this from recent times is the 812 Competizione A — with “A” being short for Aperta, meaning open. Envisioned as the open-top counterpart to the acclaimed 812 Competizione, it features a reengineered chassis and refined aerodynamics to further elevate performance. At its heart is what was, at launch, Ferrari’s most powerful naturally aspirated V12 — producing an extraordinary 819 horsepower and accelerating from 0 to 62 mph in just 2.85 seconds.
Carbon fibre is extensively integrated throughout the bodywork, including its removable roof. Finished in signature Rosso Corsa, the vehicle is complemented by an Argento Nürburgring racing stripe and interiors trimmed in Rosso and Nero Alcantara. The generous racing seats are elegantly embroidered with the iconic Prancing Horse and the Italian flag. Inside, additional carbon fibre accents sit alongside a high-power audio system and Apple CarPlay.
Exclusivity further enhances its appeal. Production was limited to just 599 examples, each offered by invitation only to a select group of Ferrari’s most valued clients who were carefully handpicked. At the time of cataloguing, this particular example had recorded a mere 80 miles. Presented with its original window sticker, car cover and accessories, it represents a compelling chapter in Ferrari’s modern legacy.

2020 McLaren Speedtail
Positioned as the modern successor to the McLaren F1, the Speedtail carries forward several defining traits of its predecessor: a three-seat layout with a central driving position, lightweight composite body, and performance that set new precedents. Engineered with speed as its primary objective and named as such, the Speedtail reportedly reaches 250 mph. Production was limited to 106 examples — a direct reference to the F1 — reinforcing its rarity from the outset.
Its body is shaped into an aerodynamic teardrop form, constructed primarily from carbon fibre and supported by titanium and aluminium alloy components. The central seating configuration creates a distinctive driving experience, offering a wide, uninterrupted field of vision. In contrast to the F1, however, the Speedtail integrates advanced modern technology, including retractable cameras in place of conventional side mirrors.
This example is number 36 of 106 and features more than £137,711 ($170,000) in bespoke specifications. It is finished in custom MSO Heritage Atlantic Blue with matching pinstripe detailing aligned to the wheel colour. Satin Visual Carbon Fibre is used extensively throughout the exterior and interior, while the dashboard and seats are trimmed in vintage tan Aniline leather, providing the perfect contrast to the exterior finish.
With just two owners to have enjoyed the privilege of owning this car, and with only 216 miles recorded, the car remains in near-mint condition. All Speedtails were originally delivered to the selected clients. This lot is offered under a ‘show or display’ exemption, meaning transfer of ownership requires approval from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and dealerships are not permitted to take ownership.

2020 Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato Continuation
Originally introduced in 1958, the Aston Martin DB4 achieved immediate acclaim. This popularity is what led to the creation of its short-wheelbase racing variant, the DB4 GT, which followed in 1959 with a limited production run of just 75 examples.
Soon after, Aston Martin partnered with renowned Italian coachbuilder Zagato to create what would become the ultimate evolution of the DB4 GT. The result was an enduring icon — distinguished by its sculpted bodywork, assertive front grille, and lighter construction. Beyond aesthetics, the collaboration delivered enhanced performance, with an additional 12 horsepower over its predecessor.
Nearly five decades later, Aston Martin Works — the marque’s heritage division — revived the legend through the DB4 GT Continuation project. In 2019, just 19 examples of the DB4 GT Zagato Continuation were produced using entirely new components engineered to remain interchangeable with the original DB4 GT models.
This particular chassis, finished in Sage Green with Light Tan leather interiors, was delivered to its original owner in late 2019. While built to Continuation specifications, its design purposefully mirrors the classic edition. Maintained in exceptional condition, it shows only 58 miles on the odometer. As a limited-edition tribute to one of Aston Martin’s most celebrated racing collaborations, the DB4 GT Zagato Continuation stands as a highly desirable acquisition for discerning collectors, regardless of their affinity for the marque.
