This 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO fetched an auction price of $48,405,000. RM Sotheby’s sold this beauty at an auction in August 2018. This is the most expensive auction car in the world to date.

1962 Ferrari 250 GTO Berlinetta Chassis 3851GT
There is no end to the demand for this vintage race winning car. Auction house Bonhams sold a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO chassis 3851GT for $38,115,000 in August 2015. The car is one of the most iconic two-seat front-engine coupes to come out of Ferrari’s Maranello factory. Owned by wealthy Ferrari enthusiast Fabrizio Violati for 45 years, the car had a checkered past with an F1 driver, hill climb racer, a Gran Turismo racer and then finally Violati’s ownership of the lovely hands.
Ferrari built this beast to compete in the 1962 3-litre FIA GT World Championship Series. Since there are only 36 units of this model, we think the exorbitant price tag is a great deal!
