Outrageously Expensive Cars That Will Make Your Jaw Drop

1964 Ferrari 250 LM – $14,300,000

 

The 250 LM was the only vehicle to sell for more than $10 million at the RM Auctions event in New York, but two more cars found new owners for more than $5 million – a unique 1938 Talbot-Lago T150-C SS ($7.1 million) and a 1959 Ferrari 250 GT SWB ($7 million). 

1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider – $15,180,000

This Ferrari is the highly sought-after covered-headlight example. In addition to this distinction, 2903 GT is one of a limited number of SWB California Spiders factory equipped with an optional hardtop. Offered for sale for the first time in over 14 years, this stunning Ferrari sparked a round of feverous bidding that resulted in a final sale of $15,180,000, a world record for a Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider.
