The Rarest Ferrari - Ferrari 250 GTO

The Ferrari 250 GTO is one of rarest cars to wear the prancing stallion logo.  According to Ferrari by Dennis Adler, only 39 Ferrari 250 GTO road/race cars were produced between 1962 and 1964. The car produced over 300 horsepower from a powerful V-12 engine.  The top speed was 280 kilometers per hour.

These extremely rare cars are among the most expensive cars on the planet.  In recent years, the Ferrari 250 GTO has sold for as high as $52 million.  The most recent one to sell went for $38 million.  For those of use with more modest means,a die-cast 1/18 scale Ferrari 250 GTO like this one from Bburago is a great addition to any collection.
