Most Expensive Ferraris Sold at Auction
Summary
The most expensive Ferrari ever sold at auction is a 1962 250 GTO, which made $51.7 million at RM Sotheby's in November 2023. Another 250 GTO made $38.5 million at Mecum in January 2026. GTOs change hands too rarely to rank, so this list covers models that sell regularly. The Enzo typically sells for $10.23M across 11 auction sales in our data, the LaFerrari $5.35M and the F40 $3.8M across 20 sales. Modern limited editions now trade in the same range as many 1960s classics: the 812 Competizione A typically sells for $2.07M and the F12tdf $2.18M. Rankings takes the median of every auction sale of each model over the last two years. Replicas, prototypes, race cars, track-only XX cars and charity lots are left out.

How to Choose
- Classic 1950s-60s V12s (250 and 275) lead the market. Originality, coachbuilder and competition history decide their prices.
- The supercar flagships (288 GTO, F40, F50, Enzo, LaFerrari) were built in hundreds, not thousands, which keeps them in seven figures.
- Limited modern specials (Aperta, tdf, Speciale, Competizione) sell for several times the car they're based on.
- Ferrari Classiche certification and matching numbers add real value on classic cars.
- Samples are small for the rarest cars, so one sale can move the figures. Check the recent sales listed under each car.

Based on 142 completed auction sales from the last 2 years on Bring a Trailer, Cars & Bids, eBay Motors, PCarMarket, Collecting Cars and other auctions.
