Here is a “big five” which has nothing to do with wild animals, the famous hunting trophies (lion, African elephant, African buffalo, leopard and rhinoceros), it is rather a question here of prancing horses and horses just under the hoods.
In chronological order, the 1984 Ferrari 288 GTO, the 1987 F40, the 1995 targa-roof F50, the 2002 Enzo and the 2013 Ferrari LaFerrari are great milestones for the Maranello brand. A copy of each of them was sold at auction by RM Sotheby’s last weekend in the Canadian province of Ontario.
Among the 301 lots in the sale, including more than 100 vehicles, the 5 aforementioned Ferraris totaled the tidy sum of $19,577,500, the equivalent of €18,012,768.
A Lamborghini Miura still remains more expensive
The machine that went the highest, a Lamborghini Miura P40SV from 1972, was sold for $4.9 million (4.5 million euros). The most expensive Ferrari, the Enzo found a buyer for $4,295,000 (€3,951,722), it only has 8,607 km on the odometer. Next comes the Ferrari F50 chassis number 182 out of the 349 assembled which reached the sum of $4,240,000 (3.9 million euros). This model, with 20,000 km on the clock, travels mostly around Monaco.
The rarest of the lot, the 288 GTO dating from 1985 went for $3,882,500 (3.572 million euros). It belonged to British golfer Ian Poulter who in almost 40 years covered 26,617 km at the wheel.
The most recent of the bunch, the Ferrari LaFerrari here a 2015 model reached the $3,690,000 level (€3,395,076). Finally, the Ferrari F40, a 1990 model brings up the rear with $3,470,000 (€3,192,660).
