RumbleSeat at ModaMiami 2025: A Celebration of Automotive Excellence

South Florida’s car culture came alive in grand fashion last weekend as ModaMiami 2025 brought an impressive mix of vintage elegance and modern performance to Coral Gables. Held at the historic Biltmore Hotel, this event has quickly become a must-attend gathering for collectors, enthusiasts, and industry leaders alike. The RumbleSeat team was on the ground, soaking in the sights and sounds of this growing concours and taking notes on some of the most impressive sales from RM Sotheby’s accompanying auction.

A True Luxury Automotive Experience

ModaMiami is more than just a concours—it’s an immersive lifestyle event that blends automotive history with a forward-thinking approach to the collector car world. Featuring a mix of vintage masterpieces, hypercars, and landmark racing machines, the event delivered an experience that felt both classic and cutting-edge. The picturesque setting of the Biltmore Hotel, with its Spanish-inspired architecture and lush landscapes, provided the perfect backdrop for the stunning array of automobiles on display.

The event included a scenic driving tour through South Florida’s best roads, exclusive VIP gatherings, and an after-dark party hosted by Rolls-Royce. Standout showcases celebrated milestones like 50 Years of the Countach and 20 Years of the Veyron, alongside special classes for Mille Miglia veterans, Stuttgart legends, and Cadillacs.

RM Sotheby’s Auction: Record-Breaking Sales

No ModaMiami experience would be complete without the high-energy spectacle of an RM Sotheby’s auction. This year’s results were nothing short of astonishing, with nearly $75 million in sales and an 83% sell-through rate. Some of the standout sales included:

• 1966 Ford GT40 Mk II – Sold for $13.2 million
• 1908 Mercedes 150 HP Rennwagen – Sold for $8.25 million
• 1957 Chevrolet Corvette SS XP-64 – Sold for $7.7 million
• 1996 Ferrari F50 – Sold for $5.53 million (a new world record)
• 1991 Ferrari F40 – Sold for $3.58 million

These results further cement RM Sotheby’s reputation as the premier auction house for collectors looking to acquire historic and investment-grade automobiles.

The Future of ModaMiami

With only its second year in the books, ModaMiami is quickly positioning itself as a top-tier event in the collector car world. The strategic timing, separating it from The Amelia by a week, has created a seamless destination experience for enthusiasts traveling to Florida.

For the RumbleSeat team, attending ModaMiami was an opportunity to connect with collectors, witness historic moments in automotive sales, and further refine our vision for the RumbleSeat Marketplace. As we continue to innovate in the digital space, events like this inspire us to enhance how enthusiasts engage with the collector car world online.

If this year’s event was any indication, ModaMiami is here to stay—and we can’t wait to return next year.
