| 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa - Sold for $16,390,000. |
American auction house Gooding & Company tore up the record book last Saturday when it sold the prototype of the much-valued Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa series for $16.39m.
The curvaceous race car with its blue/white stripe has become the world’s most expensive car sold at auction. With bidding starting at $10m, it then proceeded briskly to the final hammer price – a fittingly dramatic twist in the story of an amazing car.
Other $1m+ sales on Saturday, 20 August were:
1959 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California $3,355,000
1963 Shelby Cobra 289 Factory Team Car $2,585,000
