The Most Valuable Ferraris In History

Ferrari is a symbol of speed and luxury. Over the years, some of the rarest and most iconic Ferraris have sold for astonishing prices, making them the ultimate collector’s dream. Let’s take a look at the most expensive Ferraris ever sold.

1952 Ferrari 340 Mexico Coupé

The Ferrari 340 Mexico Coupé was designed by Vignale with both style and speed in mind. Powered by a Ferrari V12, it could hit 175 mph, making it a machine for the grueling 2,000-mile race across Mexico. With legendary drivers Luigi Chinetti and Jean Lucas behind the wheel, it delivered a podium finish. Today, if you’re lucky enough to find one for sale, you’ll need at least £5 million ($6.4 million) to take it home.
