Here are the top 10 rarest cars in the world.

1964 Ferrari 250 GTO

Ferrari 250 GTO

The Ferrari 250 GTO is a GT vehicle developed by Ferrari from 1962 to 1964 for FIA Group 3 Grand Touring Car homologation. It was powered by a Tipo 168/62 Colombo V12 engine from Ferrari.

The “250” in its name refers to the displacement of each of its cylinders in cubic centimeters; “GTO” stands for Gran Turismo Omologato, Italian for “Grand Touring Homologated.”

Only 36 of the 250 GTOs were built between 1962 and 1964. This contains 33 vehicles with bodywork from 1962-1963 (Series I) and three with bodywork from 1964 (Series II) identical to the Ferrari 250 LM. Four of the earlier 1962-1963 (Series I) automobiles were replaced with Series II bodywork in 1964.

The 250 GTO cost $18,000 new in the United States, with customers individually vetted by Enzo Ferrari and his North American dealer, Luigi Chinetti.

The 250 GTO was ranked eighth on Sports Car International’s list of the Top Sports Cars of the 1960s in 2004, and it was nominated as the best sports car of all time. Similarly, the 250 GTO was ranked top in Motor Trend Classic’s list of the “Greatest Ferraris of All Time.” It was awarded the “Hottest Car of All Time” by Popular Mechanics.

This model has now become highly sought after by car collectors, with sales setting price records on many occasions. The current world record for the most expensive automobile was reached in June 2018 when a 1963 250 GTO (chassis 4153GT) sold privately for $70 million.

1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa

The Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa, sometimes known as the 250 TR, is a racing sports automobile produced by Ferrari between 1957 and 1961. It debuted after the 1957 racing season in response to rule revisions requiring a maximum engine displacement of 3 liters for the 24 Hours of Le Mans and World Sportscar Championship events.

The 250 TR was quite similar to previous Ferrari sports vehicles, sharing many important components with other 250 versions and the 500 TR.

Ferrari won the World Sports Car Championship constructor’s championship in 1958, 1960, and 1961 as a consequence of these victories.

Ferrari improved the handling of the 250 GT Berlinetta by shortening its wheelbase from 2,600 mm to 2,400 mm.

Scaglietti debuted the 250 GT California Spyder SWB at the Geneva Motor Show in 1960, with its body stretched tauter over the new chassis.

The Aston Martin DBR1 was a sports racing car produced by Aston Martin beginning in 1956. It was designed for the World Sportscar Championship as well as non-championship sports car races at the time.

It is well known for winning the 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans, Aston Martin’s sole outright victory in the endurance race. It was one of only three vehicles in the 1950s to win both the World SportsCar Championship and the Le Mans 24 Hours.

Furthermore, the six World Sports Car Competition victories were a record for any car in the 1950s and maintained a record in the championship until the Ferrari 250TR surpassed it.

The three successive victories in 1959 at the Nürburgring, Le Mans, and the Tourist Trophy tied the record set by the Ferrari 250TR at the start of the 1958 season.

The DBR1 was sold in August 2017 for a world record price for a British-made car of US$22,555,000. [Source: Wiki]

1962 Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato

Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato

The Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato is a grand tourer sports automobile created and built by Zagato between 1960 and 1963. It was introduced in October 1960 at the London Motor Show as a DB4 GT that had been lightened and enhanced by the Zagato plant in Italy, led by Ercole Spada.

The manufacturer had intended to create 25 automobiles at first, but demand was not as great as projected, therefore output was decreased to 20.

Due to the popularity of the first DB4 GT Zagato, Aston Martin and the Zagato works in Italy collaborated to create two additional waves of vehicles based on DB4s that were transformed into “Zagatos.”

They are referred to as “Sanction II” and “Sanction III” vehicles. To accommodate market demand for high-quality Zagato recreations, an unlicensed but lucrative private business of altering genuine DB4 GTs into “Zagato” copies has also emerged.
