1996 Ferrari F50 – $10 million
The precursor to the racing centric GT, the classic F50 was designed as a 50th-anniversary celebration to Scuderia Ferrari. There were 349 of these made, “one less than we can sell” according to Ferrari President at the time Luca Di Montezemolo. Each of them sported a mid-mounted 60-valve, V12, Ferrari Tipo F130B engine with a directly-mounted six-speed gearbox, with suspension bolting mounted directly to the gearbox, a technique used in Formula One cars. In fact, the F50 is designed to be road car emulation of the Ferrari F1s of the same era, reflected in certain parts of its aesthetic and construction, such as the carbon fiber chassis.
