The most expensive car in the world

You might think that a 400 000$ Rolls-Royce is expensive for a simple car. Your perception of the mentioned price is going to change completely when you find out what the price of the 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO is. The sought-after collection car has been sold recently to an unidentified buyer for a staggering 52 000 000$! This particular car, called chassis #5111, is especially expensive since it has won the 1963 Tour de France race. The Ferrari had then been bought and restored only to be resold a long time after. The original GTOs featured a 3.0 liter V12 capable of producing 300 hp. These exclusive cars have been manufactured just to win races. Now, you must be wondering why such a simple and old car could be worth more than the most expensive house in your neighbourhood. The reason is that the Ferrari 250 GTO has been voted to be the car that represents Ferrari the best. Since the first of this car sold, prices have been going up at an alarming level. Even replicas of the car are reported to have been sold at the same price as a real one. This though, evidently, isn't supposed to happen.
