The 5 most expensive Ferraris in the world

While Ferraris aren't the most expensive supercars out there, cars bearing the Prancing Horse logo are still universally recognized as the epitome of four-wheeled luxury, the benchmark against which all other racing machines must measure themselves.
When imagining the most expensive Ferrari in the world, your first thought might go to the Formula 1 models driven over the years by champions like Michael Schumacher, Jean Alesi, and Rubens Barrichello, to name a few. Or Maradona's legendary black Ferrari , given to him by Corrado Ferlaino for winning the 1986 World Championship. None of this: the most expensive Ferraris in the world are five racing cars as old as they are exclusive. Let's take a look at them one by one, starting with fifth place.
#5 – 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO (€32.5 million) The 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO broke the record for the most expensive car sold at the Goodwood Festival of Speed auction in Bonham. Fewer than 40 Ferrari 250 GTOs were ever built, including a steel blue and red Ferrari. To be precise, only 36 were produced: 33 Series I and three Series II. As you might imagine, a limited-production Ferrari from the 1960s is sure to attract attention. The car sold in 2014 for $38.1 million (about €32.5 million).
- Weight – 880 kilos.
- Top speed – 283 km/h.
- 0 to 100 – approximately 6 seconds.
In fourth place is a 1957 Ferrari 335 S. London driver Stirling Moss won the 1958 Cuban Grand Prix with this Ferrari. It is a symbol of Scuderia Ferrari's golden age in road racing. Only four of this convertible were ever built. The car spent over 40 years in the hands of a French collector, then sold in 2014 at the Artcurial auction at the Retromobile classic car show in Paris. The selling price: $35.8 million (approximately €30.6 million).
- Weight – 880 kilos.
- Maximum speed – 300 km/h.
- 0 to 100 – approximately 4 seconds.
Also in third place is a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO. In the 1960s, wealthy motorists wishing to purchase one of these cars had to obtain the personal approval of Enzo Ferrari. The limited production naturally resulted in an exorbitant list price. This Ferrari 250 GTO sold at the RM Sotheby's auction in 2018 for $48.4 million (approximately €41.4 million). Many enthusiasts consider it the greatest sports car of all time. Among its most notable victories: the Tour de France Automobile (1963 and 1964), the 12 Hours of Sebring, and Le Mans (GT class).
- Weight – 880 kilos.
- Top speed – 283 km/h.
- 0 to 100 – approximately 6 seconds.
Here's a variation on what's been shown so far. The Ferrari 330 LM/250 GTO is one of the rarest Ferraris, and its dual name reflects its unique hybrid nature in the history of the Prancing Horse. Unlike other 250 GTOs, the 330 LM (Le Mans) was an experimental version with a larger engine: a 4.0-liter V12 (3,967 cc). It is the only example built by Ferrari with a 250 GTO body and a 4.0-liter engine. It was offered to the public for the first time after being in a private ownership for 38 years. RM Sotheby's offered the car in a separate auction during its Fine Art sale. Two bidders battled it out for the price, ultimately selling for $51.7 million (approximately €42.2 million).
- Weight – 950 kilos.
- Maximum speed – 285 km/h.
- 0 to 100 – 4 seconds.
The design, like all other Ferrari 250 GTOs, is by the legendary Sergio Scaglietti, who successfully balanced art and technology. This 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO was purchased by David MacNeil, founder of WeatherTech, for $70 million (about €60 million). The car won the Tour de France automobile.
- Weight – 880 kilos.
- Top speed – 283 km/h.
- 0 to 100 – approximately 6 seconds.
