1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa Prototype  – $16,390,000

With the hammer falling at $14.9 million plus the buyer’s premium, the final sale price as $16.4 million.

It’s a fitting price for a historic car: this is the first of the Testa Rossas. It was also a Scuderia Ferrari team car that raced at Le Mans. On top of that, it’s especially appealing to American buyers, because it has been comprehensively restored and outfitted in 1958 Le Mans NART (North American Racing Team) livery.
