25 Outrageously Expensive Cars That Will Make Your Jaw Drop 25 Times

1958 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider – $8,500,000

This Ferrari was 23 of 50 made, sold in 1959 to Prince Alvise Hercolani of Bologna. It changed hands several times, once held for 30 years by the same owner, but then sold to a man who invested heavily up to standards. He sold it in 2011. It sold twice more after that, this last time for $8.5 million. Models of the same year have sold similar prices, but one is currently up for auction by Sotheby’s, appraised at over $11 million. As one of Ferrari’s iconic model, collectors regard this build as a unique example of the California Spider.

1959 Ferrari 250 GT Competizione Alloy Berlinetta –$8,525,000

This is chassis No. 1519, a crossover coup that took third place in the Tour De France in 1959. In 1960, this GT immigrated to the United States where it has lived since then. In 2014, the owner of this model invested in a major restoration, inside and out taking care not to upset the design elements from Scaglietti. In 2015 it sold to $8.525 million.

1937 Bugatti Type 57SC Atalante – $8,745,000

Bugattis fetch a pretty penny, especially those from the 1930s. This one, the type 57, introduced whole new design for Bugatti, which they kept until 1940. This was actually titled a 1938 57SC, but from 1937, a point of confusion back in the day. This model brags an original chassis, engine, and coachwork, thus the $8.745 million price tag.
