1957 Ferrari 250 Tesla Rossa Became the Most Expensive Car |
Although media calls current world economic situation as crisis, a number of events prove that in some respect people live as they used to without looking back at the economics downfall. The last Ferrari Leggenda e Passione event has proven that the most wanted cars are still desired and people are ready to pay for them no matter how high the price would be.
The Ferrari auction took place in Maranello, Italy, where the sales were conducted by RM Auctions and Sotheby’s. The attention of the publics was drawn to one of the biggest legends of the racing world, 1957 Ferrari 250 Tesla Rossa. This car is very rare: it is one of the 22 “examples” built by the manufacturer in Maranello in 1957-1958. Nick-named “pontoon fender” Tesla Rossa has taken part in 19 races from 1958 to 1961 and won 10 of them.
Last year Ferrari Leggenda e Passione auction has already set the record of the most expensive car: a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California has been sold then for $11 million. This year the audience priced 1957 Ferrari 250TR for more: the car was hammered down for $12.2 million.
