Ferrari 250 GTO
The most-valuable car in the world
The 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO is regularly cited as the most-valuable car ever built — chassis 4153GT sold privately in 2018 for a reported $70 million. 36 cars were built; all are accounted for; none have been written off.
Designed by Giotto Bizzarrini and refined by Mauro Forghieri, the GTO ran a 3.0-litre V12 producing about 300 hp, in a body designed by Sergio Scaglietti. It won the over-2.0 GT class of the World Sportscar Championship in 1962, 1963 and 1964.
