Slideshow: Some of the Most Expensive Ferraris Ever Sold
These 4 Ferraris make the average 488 GTB look like a free lunch. You won’t believe this…
1963 GTO - $80M
Absurd, ridiculous and downright unbelievable, this 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO sold for a mortgage obliterating sum of $80,000,000. You can literally buy an island for that, but the owner probably already has one. Where else would you trust driving this beautiful machine? So what did the former keeper of this ultimate classic do to amass such a car? Apparently, he sold floor mats while the current owner is unknown as the sale was private.
GTO - $52M
Here’s a bargain 250 GTO that our aforementioned buyer could have purchased for a few million less. Talk about a deal: this gentleman practically stole his GTO at a peasant like $52,00,000. Why so much cheaper? It didn’t win the Tour de France like the first car and it’s not silver. Speculation of course as these prices are too outrageous to grapple with logic.
1967 275 GTB/4 NART Spider - $27M
Video of this auction can be found online that will make your eyes widen. Bidders up the price from $20M to $24M in the span of minutes. In a dead silent room, the price escalates to $25,000,000 before closing to a roar of cheers in the crowd. Not a bad investment given how fast these cars jump in prices.
330 TRI/LM Spider - $9.2M
Finally, something we can finance with a little money down. This 1962 330 TRI/LM Spider sold for an affordable $9,200,000 when it went across the block. The best looking car on this list isn’t a slouch either, the V12 barely has any weight to move around and must sound amazing with its mechanical whining. It produces 390bhp and can’t weigh much more than a feather.
Models on the Rise
With half the cars on the list being 250 GTOs it’s not unreasonable to assume they will continue to rise in price. Interestingly, one might speculate, is what will happen to creations like the SP38 that are done for select clientele without any real racing history behind the name. We can’t forget this is why the GTOs command such large prices when they change hands. Anyone can buy a Ferrari GT racing car these days. We can only wait and see what will happen as a result…
