1964 Ferrari 275P - World's most expensive car?

Ferrari fans expected to see a Ferrari 275 Prototype cross the auction block in February 2018. The car has serious record-breaking potential. This Ferrari 275 P is the last Scuderia Ferrari car to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and it won twice, in 1963 and 1964. It could have become the most expensive car in history. The Ferrari 275P emerged from the Bardinon Collection.

Branded with chassis number 0816, the car collected the highest honour in the world of endurance racing in 1964, clocking an average speed of 122mph over 2918 miles.

The iconic 1964 Ferrari 275P is hugely desirable. The car was removed from the Artcurial’s Motorcars auction in Paris. It was thought it might have sold for more than the US$38.1 million in 2014 for the 1962 GTO.

The 275P is the eighth one entered in the Le Mans endurance race by Ferrari’s factory team. Once the car won Le Mans in 1964, it raced three times at the Road America 500, followed by the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1965.
