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?
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.

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
