Ferrari 312 P

The Ferrari 312 P is a legendary Group 6 prototype sports car built by Ferrari to compete in the 1969 and 1970 endurance racing seasons. Designed by Mauro Forghieri, it featured a detuned Formula 1 V12 engine and a highly aerodynamic semi-monocoque chassis. The "312" denotes a 3-liter, 12-cylinder engine, while the "P" stands for prototipo (prototype). It was hardly more than a 3-litre F1 Ferrari 312 with open barchetta, and later the closed top berlinetta. Image captures the Ferrari 312P (chassis 0868, the sole berlinetta ) during the 1969 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Ferrari built three 312 P on chassis 0868, 0870 and 0872.
The 312 P didn’t go down as one of the all-time great Ferrari racing cars due to its on-track success. It never won a victory during its brief racing career. The Ferrari 312 P is the last true 60-degree V-12 from this era of Ferrari before adopting the flat-12 in 1970.
The heart of the car was it's rear mounted longitudinal 60° V12, with a total displacement of 2989.95 cc. Fuel delivery was a Lucas indirect mechanical injection system. With a compression ratio of 11: 1 it produced 420-430 hp at 9800 rpm. That fed a 5-speed + RM gearbox, assisted by a 3-disc clutch, and a self-locking differential.

1956 Maserati A6G/2000 Zagato

The A6 is a rare gem, especially in A6G 2000 Zagato trim. It’s desirable. Not just beautiful to look at, the Zagato-designed A6G 2000 also had a successful racing career. This example competed at the Mille Miglia in 1956 and it’s one of only 20 cars ever built. It went through a two-year restoration and won two awards at the 2014 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.
The A6G54 was Maserati’s only dual-purpose road/race car made in series production. After the A6GCS became a success on the racetrack, Maserati redesigned the model as a road-going sports car that was more suitable for increased production.

The A6GCS racing engine was tuned to provide a better power curve and fitted with a normal wet-sump lubrication system specifically for the A6G54 2000. The twin-spark cylinder head with its 12 wire distributor was offered only as an option. It raised the ante to 190 horsepower.

A 1956 Maserati A6G/2000 Berlinetta Zagato chassis 2124 sold by RM Sotheby's in 2018 for $4.5m.
The A6G/2000 was catapulted onto a bigger stage when it was used by Maserati as a practice car for the Mille Miglia. It was tested by several drivers including the legendary pair of Sir Stirling Moss and Denis Jenkinson.
The Maserati A6G 2000 was the ultimate racing berlinetta of the 1950s.

Big 5 of modern Ferrari = $41m

The Ferrari 288 GTO was still being developed while Enzo Ferrari was still alive. 272 were built featuring a 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8. A 1985 288 GTO in concours condition is trending around $9.2m according to Hagerty, a massive hike year over year.
The last car signed off by Enzo was the Ferrari F40, which began production in 1987 and ended it in 1992. The F40 was Ferrari’s first 200 mph road car, featuring a 2.9-liter twin turbocharged V12. 1,300 were made with top examples making around $4m according to Hagerty.
The Ferrari F50 featured a naturally aspirated V12, which produces 520 bhp. 349 units made, and the current value for a top example is something around $8.1m.
Ferrari released the Enzo in 2002. The naturally aspirated V12 pushes 660 bhp and boasts a top speed of almost 220 mph. 400 were made, and are valued around $10.3m at the very top end.
The 2013 La Ferrari rounds out the essential. The naturally aspirated V12 brought Ferrari into the hybrid space with a bang. The car produces nearly 1000 bhp. 500 units were built. An uber top example will bring $8m

1956 Ferrari 290 MM - $22m in 2018

Designed for the 1956 Mille Miglia and as a replacement for the 860 Monza, the 290MM featured a V12 engine with dual ignition and dry sump. The car was an immediate success, finishing first in the Mille Miglia.
