Powered by a three-litre V12 engine, the 302-horsepower
Ferrari 250 GTO can reach speeds of 283km per hour.
It was already considered one of the most valuable
cars in the world, previously thought to have been worth approximately
€14 million.
But with the recent record-breaking sale, it
seems the Ferrari 250 GTO is even more valuable than had been
thought.
The
previous holder was a 1961 Ferrari California Spyder which
sold for about €7 million in May.
