Acura NSX GT3 Evo22

This is the last year for the NSX, but Acura uveiled an updated NSX GT3 Evo22 race car, which starts racing in 2022 and is homologated through 2024. It is eligible for multiple competitions.
NSX race cars skip the electric motors of their road-going counterparts. Drive is to the rear wheels only. The race cars also use a 6-speed sequential transmission instead of the road car's 9-speed dual-clutch.

LaFerrari # 500 = $ 7m

The convertible sold for $7 million (£5,490,777.46) in late 2016.
The LaFerrari was auctioned at RM Sotheby’s in Florida, and went for more than $1.8m (£1,411,914.20) over the top estimate. 499 examples were created in the original production run.
Proceeds from the sale of the car, which was offered from Ferrari’s private collection, went to help rebuild the central region of Italy after it was struck by devastating earthquakes.

Ferrari 275 GTB-4

The Ferrari 275 is a series of two-seat front-engined V12-powered cars produced in GT, roadster, and spyder form by Ferrari between 1964 and 1968. The first Ferrari to be equipped with a transaxle, the 275 is powered by a 3.3 L (3286 cc) Colombo 60° V12 engine that produces 280-300 hp.

Pininfarina designed the GT and roadster bodies, Scaglietti the very rare and valuable NART Spyder.

1966 Ferrari 275 GTB/C Berlinetta Competizione
The 275 GTB was considered the last of the classic Ferraris. The long-nose examples are considered the ultimate derivative of the 275 GTB with one of the most stunning designs ever penned by Pininfarina and crafted by Scaglietti.

The car is an icon of Italian design and craftsmanship.
Approximately 58 long-nose, torque-tube, triple-carburetor, steel-bodied examples were made.
