It could hands down be the most beautiful Ferrari ever built. It is certainly among the most expensive, with a price tag that is around millions of euros.
Few brands can boast a modern and timeless price list like that of Ferrari. The Cavallino has produced so many legendary cars that half would be enough to create a brand apart which only sells timeless classics. Among the most iconic cars ever seen with this logo on the bonnet, we certainly find the Ferrari F40, the 458 Italia and the Enzo but, going back in time a few decades, there are also other much more incredible cars.

Another reason why Ferraris are considered cars for refined palates it is the fact that the classic models hold many records for the price at which they were sold at auction. Among these, the 250 series is certainly the most famous with models that have reached a value of 30, 40 or even 50 million Euros during the auctions in which they were protagonists.
Today’s model has a similar value, considering that it was valued at 38 million euros by the site’s experts RM Sotheby’s on which the sale of the historic racing car to the highest bidder will be held. To reconstruct the history of this incredible model we must go back to the fifties when a change in regulations led to the birth of one of the most absurd engines in the history of the Modena brand.
Ferrari, the opportunity that only comes once!
We are talking about the Ferrari 250 Testarossa, a 1957 model which for many experts is among the most incredible racing cars but above all beautiful and aesthetically clean that have ever been seen on a track.
The car is equipped with a twelve-cylinder engine which falls within the three-litre category established that year, capable of developing 300 horsepower for a net weight of just 800 kilograms, which makes the car very fast even for the historical period in question. .
With a top speed of 270 kilometers per hour, few examples they could stay behind to this car and in fact, the model in the photograph which will soon go up for auction with chassis number 0738 TR won four races in its long sporting career which took it around the world. It is one of 19 of 34 units built by Sergio Scaglietti with a lightweight chassis.
The car has an insane price tag – it has been valued at 38 million euros but it shouldn’t be surprising, just in 2014 an example was sold in England for 39.5 million Euros, a figure that many really rich people would not spend any time even for a luxury home in some Caribbean country! But for a piece of history, there is no expense that is excessive.
