Over the weekend at Pebble Beach, Sotheby's auctioned off an ultra-rare 1998 McLaren F1 LM hypercar for a reported $13.75 million.
The final sale price falls within Sotheby's $12 million-$15 million projected value.
The McLaren is the crown jewel of a collection of 65 cars an anonymous collector put up for auction this summer.
The Sotheby's car is one of 106 McLaren F1 vehicles ever built and just one of a handful in the "LM" specification.
"The F1 is a technological tour de force and a real triumph in terms of packaging and design," McLaren Automotive executive chairman Ron Dennis said in a statement in 2010.
"Whether endurance racing or on road, it is supremely fast, agile, and yet comfortable. Its styling is enduring and will never fade."
After the $13.75 million sale, YouTube personality DoctaM3 posted a video of the F1 cruising around the streets of Monterey.

Ultimately, the McLaren F1 was designed to be driven by its owners. It was never meant to be a museum show piece. From the looks of it, the new owners of the Sotheby's car has taken this to heart.
