Big 5 of modern Ferrari = $41m

If money is no object, one must become a Ferrari connoisseur. To join the club, these are the cars you must have.
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
The big 5 have more than doubled in a year. The number to land concours examples is $41m

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.
A Ferrari Classiche-certified 1956 Ferrari 290 MM previously raced by Formula 1 legends Juan Manuel Fangio, Peter Collins and Sir Stirling Moss headlined RM Sotheby's auction in 2018. The car has received a complete restoration by Ferrari Classiche in Italy and houses a perfect Tipo 130 V12 engine.
The car was built at the direction of company founder Enzo Ferrari, and it was the last of four 290 MM models built in 1956. A competition Ferrari, with a winning history, that was driven by several world famous drivers. That makes it hugely desirable. It's high estimate was $ 26m.

In 2015 a 1956 Ferrari 290 MM made $28m.

Ferrari says $640k Luce EV no prank

The car here is real, and its the Ferrari Luce. (pronounced “loo-chey”, Italian for “light”) Its a five-seat electric vehicle with lots of Ferrari badges. Reviews for the I-Phone looking crossover-ish electric Ferrari aren't good. With a starting price of about $640k for horrendus looks and 280 miles of range, the Luce EV isn't for everybody.
The vehicle is no slouch. It can hit 60 mph in around 2.5 seconds onto a top speed of 192 mph.

War Rig

13 heavily modified vehicles used in "Mad Max: Fury Road" were up for grabs in 2021 at Oz's Lloyd's Auction. The war rig changed hands for a reported $1m.
The Tatra T815, aka the "The War Rig", is a custom vehicle driven by Imperator Furiosa in Mad Max Fury Road.
"You're sitting on 2000 horse power of nitro-boosted war machine." FURIOSA.
Another highlight is the Gigahorse, captained by the fearsome Immortan Joe. Made from a pair of 1959 Cadillac Coupe de Villes that were widened and mated together, it’s powered by a pair of V-8 engines and has a flamethrower and harpoon launcher.
Perfect for parties, the Doof Wagon is a MAN 8×8 missile carrier that’s been repurposed for psychological warfare. The rolling bandstand is festooned with speakers and served as a stage for an electric-guitar-wielding Doof Warrior.

1965 Ford GT40 Roadster Prototype - $7.6m

The first of five GT40 roadsters built, the eighth of twelve GT40 prototypes. Built for Shelby American as a test and development car. One of two GT40 chassis used by Kar Kraft for J and X series development.

One of the finest, most original, and rarest examples of Ford’s iconic race car.
The GT Competition Prototype Roadster is a forerunner to all of the glory that Ford garnered in its historic run to four consecutive overall victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans from 1966 through 1969. The genesis of the Ford GT program is that Henry Ford II, known popularly as “The Deuce,” thought he had a deal with Enzo Ferrari to purchase the famous Italian automaker in 1963. Ferrari angered Ford at their meeting to close the deal. Ford famously declared war on Ferrari.
12 prototypes were built by Ford between January 1964 and April 1965. Ford’s first international sports car, it is considered by most to be the world’s first supercar.
In 2014 the car hammered for $6.9m.

That number was $7.6m in 2019.

McLaren F1 Le Mans Spec package - $19.8m

The McLaren F1 holds a hallowed place in the supercar universe. 106 of them were built with 64 being legally allowed to drive on public roads. Chassis 018 is even more special. It’s one of two to have been called back to the factory following the F1’s win at Le Mans in 1995 and fitted with a GTR racing engine and High-Downforce Kit (HDK).
This ultra-rare McLaren F1 is the 'best of the best' and those bragging rights don't come cheap.
The car appeared at Monterey in 2019 and made $19.8m against an estimate of $21m to $23m.
