This May Well Be The World's Most Expensive Car

A 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO is expected to become the world's most expensive car after it was put up for sale by England-based vintage Ferrari seller, Talacrest, at a whooping price tag of £45 million, which is about ₦17. 7 billion currently 😲.

This classic Ferrari was the second to roll off its production line and is one of only 36 ever made. It was raced at Le Mans and Sebring and, despite being more than 50 years old, is capable of 0 to 100 Km/h in around six seconds, reaching a top speed of more than 273 Km/h.

John Collins, who runs Ascot-based Ferrari specialist Talacrest, claims the car has seen 27 different races and has claimed 17 different podium.

"I've been looking for a 250 GTO for a while and the opportunity came up with this one, which is the second GTO built."

"It is a beautiful Ferrari, the Holy Grail of classic cars, and it has a great racing history having finished sixth overall at Le Mans and first in class at Sebring. He told The Telegraph.

"I have already had one offer on the car and know there will be interest. It will get you on the Ferrari 70th anniversary tour next year.

"After the US election, people are going to be looking at investing in assets and this is a lot better than a painting on the wall." he said.

Over the past 40 years it has been shown at numerous Concours events around the world and was recently on display in a museum.
