Another Ferrari 250 GTO supercar has made it onto the list of the most expensive cars in history, this time in second place globally and Ferrari's own top spot.

On November 13, Ferrari set a new record when one of their 1962 Ferrari 250 GTOs was successfully auctioned for $51.7 million (VND 1,260 billion). This is the highest public price for a Ferrari car and puts this car in the position of the most "officially" expensive Ferrari car in the world.
In fact, any Ferrari 250 GTO is extremely valuable. However, the historical significance of the Ferrari 250 GTO that just went up for auction is what makes it worth the most. This is the only 1962 Tipo that was raced by the official racing team, and it won the Nurburgring 1,000km in 1962.
In addition to the above event, the car also participated in the Le Mans 24 Hours in the same year, but unfortunately had to withdraw due to overheating. Otherwise, the car's value would certainly be much higher.

In fact, the Ferrari 250 GTO that just set a record was expected to successfully auction at $60 million, but the final figure was $51.7 million, which isn't too bad.
With the above price, the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO is the second most expensive car in the world. The record for the most expensive car was broken in 2022. At that time, Mercedes-Benz successfully auctioned the 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe for... 143 million USD (3,485 billion VND). Before that time, the most expensive car was another Ferrari 250 GTO at 38.1 million USD (928.5 billion VND).
If we count cars sold/auctioned privately, the Ferrari 250 GTO’s second place will be taken by another Ferrari 250 GTO. In 2018, a 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO was sold for $70 million.
