An advantage in racing is a very precious thing, something that Enzo Ferrari knew well indeed. The creation of the now legendary Ferrari 250 LM was born out of a desire to dominate. During the 1960s Ferrari needed to replace the aging 250 GTO, with Enzo reluctantly accepting that mid-engined cars were the future.
The history of the Ferrari 250 LM begins with the 250 GTO, whose competitors argued that it did not meet the homologation requirements that dictated 100 examples or more must be built. They were right of course, but Enzo Ferrari argued that the 250 GTO was a variant of the 250 GT SWB Berlinetta, of which more than enough cars had been built.
Minor modifications to the engine, gearbox, chassis, and interior were also incorporated into this new design. Three new cars were produced to this specification in 1964, and four earlier 250 GTOs were retrofitted with the 1964 modifications by the factory." Car #3 (chassis #3413GT) is one of the early cars with the retrofitted bodywork. 1.Ferrari 250 GTO Among all the cars in Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah’s collection, the Ferrari 250 GTO, with an estimated price of over $70 million, is the most valuable car. The 250 GTO was made between 1962 and 1964, and only 36 units of it were ever made. The key to the GTO’s stratospheric price is the car’s rarity — just 36 were built between 1962 and 1964 — and racing pedigree. The record setting GTO was the third example built and one Ferrari 250 GTO Tipo $51,705,000 (£41,455,000) Only four 290s were made, and this one enjoyed further racing success after the Mille Miglia, too.
