$26m Ferrari GTO

[s0m3th1ngAZ]

World record for a ferrari...and an indicator that the collector car market is back on it's feet again. Lets just hope Mopars don't spasm again like they did several years back.$1m for a mass produced crappy small car with a large engine? Right.http://www.sportscarmarket.com....html

Sorry I can't find a picture of it...

26 mill for a car is just ridiculous.

[Mr1der]

damnit, I came here expecting pictures of said Ferrari.

it damn sure better be red.

[Gaijin]

similar to this i believe

It must be boring to buy a car for that much and never drive it. I know people that have bought cars for $1 - $3 million but do exercise them once in a while which makes it a little more enjoyable from the ownership experience.

I seem to recall reading an article about a Ferrari road trip that is sponsored by the company- may just be specific model. Any problems on the trip- Ferrari mechanics will fix it, no charge. Wonder if this particular Ferrari would come with that sort of service?

Im sure the person who paid 26m for it has a few other nice cars to drive around.

[JimmyMethod]

What a waste of money.

26 mil is just asinine. You could have bought Schumachers F1 championship Benetton for FAR less than that.

[Loki]

Mmm 4 liter V12 goodness. Too expensive though, despite the rarity and history in LM.

[Silvia-Tom]

It better be rust free then...

[seang]

Twenty-six mil for this? And the Europeans give us s*** about using live axles.

For those of us who can't have a real 250GTO, there is this.

I'd rather build a Factory 5 and save a ton of cash.

[Mr1der]

can't really argue that...

the Superformance is Pete Brock's Daytona Coupe the way he wanted it.

I <3 the GT-40 though...

yea thats a good point, but knowing you have the real deal instaid of a replica is way better

[Watermelonwarrior]

yea thats a good point, but knowing you have the real deal instaid of a replica is way better

Plus when you can spend 26m on a car money is probably not a problem. If i was a billionaire and I wanted it I would buy it.

The above Daytona Coupe is a Factory Five - see the center of the steering wheel.

[Razi]

I'd love to build a GT40 kitcar.An Ultima GTR is fine too.

Those pics also used to be on their website.

[seang]

That is where I copied them from. It's definitely not my car. I made a thread about FFR a while back and those pics have been on my photobucket ever since.

Ah gotcha. I'm not sure if they're still on that site, I've not been back there for quite some time. For a while I was debating building one, but settled on a Locost. I have the frame, now if only I could get rid of some cars I'd begin next year =/

[Mr1der]

4A powered I assume?

Very strong possibility of that, or duratec 2.0. Pipe dream would be a Busa motor w/paddle shifters.

[Rev_D21]

I read a blurb about this in Classic Motorsports mag.

[s0m3th1ngAZ]

Despite the astronomical price...it is still considered to be a good buy Not joking.

The guy who sold it got a lesser GTO and a smattering of other vintage ferrari's in return.

Also...people that buy these things aren't really all that interested in performance...So saying 'I'd save my money and just get a Factory Five"...is a silly statement. If you were in their shoes you would want this car.

For 26 Mil, you can buy:-A bunch of McLaren F1's-A bunch of Enzo's-A bunch of FXX's

See the pattern here. If you can buy a bunch of three of the best production cars ever made for the price of one car, chances are you're getting NOT getting a good buy.

The only Ferrari's worth more than 20 mil used to seat Raikkonen and Schumacher and claimed titles in six of the 10 years of the 2000 decade.

f that, you need the VQ37 from the Z with the wacky rev matching downshifts

to chase the Super Stalkers ya know.
