Outrageously Expensive Cars That Will Make Your Jaw Drop

1960 Ferrari 250 GT SWB – $11,414,500

You can just call it “SWB” and any Ferrari fan worth his prancing horse lapel pin will know what you’re talking about.

1964 Ferrari 250 LM – $11,550,000

The 250 LM exploded onto the scene at the Paris Automobile Show in October 1963. It was built as the replacement for the 250 GTO, and it was intended to compete in the GT category of sports-car racing.
