the most expensive car is the Ferrari 250 GTO from the 60s.
You're kidding me. Why on earth would you pay so much more for a clunker from the 1960s?
I do think a Rolls Royce will be more comfortable than a Ferrari. It's part conspicuous consumption, but they're not going to sacrifice their comfort for it.
It's about the history, the craftsmanship, the significance of that specific model as well as the rarity. It's not just a clunker from the 60s, it's one of the first successful Ferrari endurance racers. It's part of a long and storied history of racing, one of the most successful cars they ever built.
Personally though, there's a car with a more interesting back story. The Ferrari team lied about how many were built to get around the homologation requirements to race them. They drove the ones they already made to different parts of the factory to make it look like they made more than actually existed. I think it was the 250 LM?
If it has historical value then it shouldn't have a price tag on it.
Maybe Im archaic but if it costs in money then it's value should be more into utility then sentimentality. Sentimentality should not have a number on it.
No, it's not. I'd have a heart attack every time I took it out of the garage. I want an F355, it's expensive but not insanely so, so you can actually enjoy owning it.
It's about owning a piece of that history, you have to be a Ferrari fan to really understand. If you owned that car, you probably would never even take it outside, let alone to a track.
Homologation was an old rule that a certain number of road car versions of every race car had to be produced for it to be given a license to race. It's not a thing anymore.

I tried looking them up. They're only $50-70k?

I cannot relate. For me, a car is just a convenience.

Why would you intentionally make yourself look like you got hit in the face with a baseball bat in a photo-op?
Have you seen her regular face? That's an improvement.
At least the car's pretty.
I don't like the beady little headlights.
Because you are spiritually dead.
Same reason you would make your hair look like it got sucked into a blender: arrogance.
It just looks like a 500k Rolls Royce. What do you get for the extra millions exactly?
A photo-op and a media announcement that you paid $27.9 million too much for it.
It's not even the most expensive car, the most expensive car is the Ferrari 250 GTO from the 60s.
Even if you gold-plated your jumped up 7-Series, it wouldn't be worth this much.
That's worth 7 Stradivarius violins or 1 painting by a guy who died 500 years ago.
I like the way you think.
It’s likely the most expensive production car rather than a resold classic.

Unintended. Good thing I didn't ask what I wanted to ask, namely that I really hoped that this wasn't the Ferrari you wanted to buy.
Dare I ask why anyone would car about that? Or do you want to take it to racetracks? There's not much use for that on ordinary highways.
You're using big words that me no understand.

Well, at least I learned something today.
For the same reason military surplus collectors drop 15 grand on a gun which by all functional standards is a piece of shit.
The price of most collectors items are driven by the emotional attachement of wealthy people.
Modern Ferrari seats are actually pretty comfortable
Looks like car for 80+ year olds and why aren't people crying about Beyonce using the not white power hand symbol
Because she's not conservative.
Or “hoarding all that wealth”
I thought that symbol potentially was some Illuminati creepy thing or something, shown in photos of other stars too.
So oppressed.
lawl member when a few weeks ago that Jeopardy winner got attacked for doing this exact thing?
They're so oppressed that they're buying a US$28m Rolls-Royce.
And yet I cannot name a single song produced by either of them. Makes me think the money comes from somewhere else.
Yawn, go but the most expensive yacht and get back w/ us.
