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.
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.

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
