Filed under: Classics , Convertible , Performance , Auctions , Ferrari During the weekend’s automotive smorgasbord in Pebble Beach , Ferrari has played a huge roll. Twenty examples of the ultra-rare 250 TR , better known as the Testa Rossa, were prominently on display at the Concours d’Elegance, and the Prancing Horses have been top sellers at many of the auctions . You can chalk up one more on that list with a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spider with a scarce, optional hardtop included going for $15.18 million at Gooding & Company’s sale on Saturday night.

Filed under: Classics , Auctions , Ferrari Last month we reported on a Ferrari 250 GTO heading for the auction block at Pebble Beach .

Filed under: Classics , Coupe , Performance , Auctions , Ferrari , Luxury With a week of lavish automotive events coming up centered around the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in August, some of the highest profile auto auctions in the world are about to take place. Hearing about Ferrari Testa Rossas and 250 GTOs going for tens of millions of dollars during these events is commonplace, but Gooding & Company is bringing a unique Prancing Horse to sell in California that could be a record-breaker for the company. The car in question is the drop-dead gorgeous 1966 Ferrari 365 P Berlinetta Speciale with just 7,900 kilometers (4,910 miles) on the clock that’s pictured above, and it checks all of the boxes to make it incredibly desirable.

Filed under: Classics , Coupe , Performance , Auctions , Ferrari , Racing It’s not every day that a Ferrari 250 GTO changes hands. It is, after all, one of the most highly coveted cars ever made, and there were only 39 of them built in the first place. So when one goes up for sale, it tends to fetch millions.

Filed under: Motorsports , Auctions , Ferrari , Celebrities , Racing There isn’t much in the world that can aurally match the screeching wail of a Formula 1 car at redline. We obviously can’t say whether or not the showmanship of starting this 1998 Ferrari F300 in front of the assembled masses at Barrett-Jackson and slowly taking it up to its 18,000-rpm redline had any effect on bidders, but it did, at the very least, result in a round of applause. This ’98 Ferrari F300 was driven 38 times by Michael Schumacher , and there was another round of applause for the driver, who’s currently in a medically induced coma and listed in stable condition after a skiing accident

Filed under: Classics , Convertible , Performance , Auctions , Ferrari Vintage Ferraris consistently top the list of the most expensive cars ever sold. In private treaty sales, the 250 GTO is king, but even at public auctions, it’s the horses that prance the highest. After the Mercedes W196 grand prix racer that set the world record this past July at nearly $30 million, the list of eight-figure sales is populated almost entirely by Ferraris: a 275 GTB/4 NART Spyder for $27.5 million, the pair of ’57 Testa Rossas that sold separately a few years ago for $17 and $13 million apiece, the 250 LM recently went for over $14 million and the 250 GT SWB California Spider that sold in 2008 for $11 million.

Filed under: Classics , Auctions , Ferrari The New York Times’ Wheels blog has a really interesting story on a pair of Ferraris that are set to be auctioned off in Monterey during the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance . While the two cars are similar on the surface, their differing histories and Ferrari’s attitude towards one of them has led to a sort of experimental auction process. On the one hand, we have one of ten 1967 275 GTB/4 NART Spiders , in the classic Rosso Corsa and appearing at RM Auctions and seen above.

Of course, that’s assuming your name also happens to be John Lennon and you’ve just helped record Ticket to Ride with the rest of your Beatles cronies. When news of Lennon getting a driver’s license made the newspapers in England, luxury car makers parked outside his mansion with offerings and this is the one he chose, painted Azzuro Blue with a blue interior.
