With each passing year, collectible Ferraris will again, increase in price. The Ferrari 250 GTO needs no introduction, and this 1962 sample is set to further increase that ceiling. Price of the car with Value Added Tax (In Germany) of 19% is expected to be €47,600,000 (est RM203 mil). With a price tag of €47million, it trumps a 1963 250 GTO which was sold for €38.16 million, last year.
Being one of the most prized Ferraris around, the 250 GTO was designed from ground up as a race car to compete in GT Racing. The 250 GTO was initially developed by Giotto Bizzarrini, who placed a 3.0L V12 engine from the 250 Testa Rossa while Sergio Scaglietti designed the iconic body. After a dispute with Enzo Ferrari, the 250 GTO project was given to Mauro Forghieri who worked alongside Scaglietti to complete it.
The Ferrari 250 GTO is a very limited model (39 models in total), so naturally, owners of this model belongs to the elite class.
