Fleet of £75m motors gathered at plush event featuring supercar ‘crown jewel' & ‘rarest classic in existence'

A PLUSH event has attracted some of the world's rarest and most valuable motors, including a host of Porsches, Ferraris and even a Le Mans winner. The SOC Classic Andermatt event organised by the Supercar Owners Circle recently took place at The Chedi Andermatt in the Swiss Alps. 6 6 6 6 6 Blending luxury hospitality with thrilling alpine drives on legendary routes such as the Furka and Oberalp Passes, the shindig gathered together a sizable collection of rare and historically significant motors. Standout models included a special edition Lamborghini Diablo SE30, designed to celebrate Lambo's 30th anniversary and a Ferrari 275 GTS - a stunning convertible grand tourer from Ferrari's golden era, celebrated for its timeless design and refined engineering. Indeed, there was a notable presence of Ferraris at The Chedi Andermatt, with a Ferrari 275 GTB - a high-performance coupe that is widely regarded as one of Ferrari's most beautiful and technically advanced models from the 1960s - also in attendance. The 275 GTB is perhaps best known for its value, with it priced between £1million to over £3.5million. A Ferrari F40, often considered the ultimate Ferrari supercar - a turbocharged masterpiece that is a symbol of raw performance and motorsport heritage - was naturally sat alongside. The Prancing Horse's long-time German rival, Porsche, was also richly represented, with a Carrera GT, a modern supercar legend, famous for its carbon-fibre construction and V10 engine, as well as a Porsche 993 GT2. This track-focused, high-performance version of the Porsche 911 is revered for its rarity, although it's nothing compared to the 993 GT2 Le Mans winner that was perhaps the showpiece of the weekend. A true motorsport icon, this Le Mans-winning motor was driven on public roads in the Swiss Alps for the very first time. Arguably the standout classic was a Bavarian Blue Mercedes-Benz 300 SL 'Alloy,' hailed as one of the rarest cars in existence. The figure for the collection of motors at the event was revealed to be CHF 80 million - roughly £75 million.

The Chedi Andermatt, a five-star luxury hotel blending Swiss-Alpine and Asian design, consistently ranks among the best hotels worldwide and was awarded top placement by the Forbes Travel Guide in 2025. A top spot for petrolheads, it's renowned for its easy access to iconic alpine passes such as the Furka and Oberalp Passes while offering year-round natural beauty. It's also ideal for skiing, hiking and exploring the Swiss Alps.
