The Italian manufacturer has set another record. The car shown above was the most expensive car sold at a California auction. The Testa Rossa racing supercar was sold in 2011 for $ 16.4 million.

In the late 90s, this model was acquired by a German for 10 million. And just recently the car was sold for $ 29.6 million. This is how the price of good vintage cars is growing.

Three copies of this car were produced. The fourth can be considered the prototype, which was shown at Paris Motor Show back in 1935. However, nothing is known about the fate of this car. One car was hit by a train in 1955 and stood in the courtyard of the local police station for almost ten years.

A total of 36 of these sports cars were produced from 1962 to 1963. The rear-wheel drive car is equipped with a three-liter 290 hp engine. In this case, the maximum speed is 280 km / h.
This machine has great automotive history... In 1963, the car won the prestigious Tour de France. Then the sports car was driven by the Frenchman Jean Guichet. For the next two years, this car finished first in the race at Shemruss. Since 1974, this car has been owned by collector Paul Pappalardo. Why he decided to sell it is unknown.

The rest of the 250 GTOs are in the collections of different people - from pop stars to famous politicians and drug lords.
Thus, the Ferrari 250 GTO with chassis number 5111 is today considered the most expensive retro car in the world, which was bought openly at auction. Therefore, it was he who became the leader of our TOP.
