Monterey Car Week 2025: Jet Center Auction Highlights: Honda NSX-R, Nissan Silvia, and Subaru 22B STi
Monterey Car Week 2025, unfolding from August 8 to August 17, transforms California’s Monterey Peninsula into a global stage for automotive enthusiasts. The Broad Arrow Auctions’ Jet Center Auction, held August 14 and 15 at the Monterey Jet Center, stands as a highlight, presenting a carefully curated selection of vehicles that draw collectors and investors from across the world. This year’s auction features a remarkable lineup, with a trio of 1990s Japanese performance cars from our sister company Sandbox Motors stealing attention for their rarity and cultural significance.
Among the lots, a 1994 Honda NSX-R catches the eye, painted in iconic Championship White. With only 483 units produced for Japan, this track-focused supercar boasts a 3.0-liter V6 and razor-sharp handling, expected to sell for $450,000 to $550,000. Another standout is a 1999 Nissan Silvia Spec.R, a clean S15 model with a turbocharged SR20DET engine, a favorite among drift fans, likely to go for $60,000 to $80,000. Then there’s a 1998 Subaru Impreza 22B STi, a rally icon in World Rally Blue, one of just 424 made to mark Subaru’s World Rally Championship success, with an estimated price of $300,000 to $400,000.
The Jet Center Auction doesn’t stop there. Outside of offerings from our sister company, there are potential treasures like a 1965 Shelby 427 Cobra, a 2019 McLaren Senna, and several pre-war classics, catering to a wide range of tastes. Last year’s auction generated $53 million, and Broad Arrow’s reputation for offering low-mileage, well-documented vehicles ensures fierce bidding, and adds a layer of prestige that appeals to serious collectors.
