Gooding and Company are preparing for an amazing auction event set to take place on Friday, January 21 2011 in Scottsdale. This event will lead to the auctioning off of many supercars belonging to the estate of renowned collector Benny Caiola. Although many supercars will be in attendance and hoping to be sold to a good home, the two most prized pieces will be the 2006 Ferrari FXX Evoluzione and a 2005 Maserati MC 12. The 2006 Ferrari FXX Evoluzione is one of 30 FXX examples of Ferrari’s most advanced production car ever created. It is powered by a 6262 cc V12 engine that delivers 860 hp at 9500 rpm and is capable of sprinting from 0 to 60 mph in 2.7 seconds, while top speed goes up to an impressive 249 mph. The 2005 Maserati MC 12 was purchased direct from the factory and is vehicle number 31 of the 50 built. It is powered by a 6.0-liter V-12 engine that delivers an impressive 624 HP and can exceed 205mph at full throttle, sprinting from 0 to 60mph in just 3.8 seconds. The two models are expected to be auctioned off for more than $4 million and join a long line of other supercars ready to take the auction plunge. The list of cars includes a 1995 Ferrari F50, a 2010 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano HGTE, a 2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4, and a 2008 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Roadster. Press release after the jump. Press release Gooding & Company will be presenting one of the finest collections of modern high-performance Ferraris and rarely-seen Italian prototypes ever assembled under one roof at its Scottsdale Auctions in a few weeks. On behalf of the estate of the renowned collector Benny Caiola and his family, Gooding & Company is presenting this must-see, private collection of supercars on Friday, January 21.
18 comments: Ferrari FXX Evoluzione and Maserati MC 12 join the lineup in (...) Well, for all the vintage car I would say super cars like Ferrari and Maserati really worth to spend million bucks!
 Gooding & Company are known for making a modern high performance Ferrari! For sure they can sell this car with a high price.
 Too bad I haven’t seen this car on magazine. I just wonder how will it perform when on the Top Gear race track!
 A 2006 Ferrari FXX Evoluzione — just five years old and one of only 30 examples built — sold for $2.1 million at the Gooding & Company auction here over the weekend.
 So cool, the 2006 Ferrari FXX Evoluzione is one of the best supercars for me. I would expect that it would be sold for a higher bid than the Maserati. The Ferrari has a very powerful sprint and a higher top speed, and that’s its most impressive factors, plus its flaming red body makes it so hot.
Well, it’s no longer surprising because both cars have their own reasons to be the most prized among the other super cars. Expect many car lovers to join that auction to be held in Scottsdale at the 12th of January, 2011. Nice event for the start of the year.
 Glad I wasnt the only one who thought that. The first photo of the FXX looked like a scale model till you looked at the other photo’s of it.
 Wow. That’s one impressive stable. While looking at some of the drool-worthy photos though, I kept noticing an odd depth-of-field effect that made the subjects almost seem to be scale models. Still, all good stuff.
