Wonderful line-up of Ferrari 250 GTO's at the Goodwood Revival. Follow the cars from paddock to parc ferme and on the track!! A full gallery and more info can be found here: www.2thetrack.com/2012/10/07/1...
Exactly! When they fire up their engines, it's just a car for a race they want to win. Maybe they think aftwards 'did i really drift my precious 250 GTO around that corner?' Actually some owners gave the keys to their car to someone else to drive it...
@@JonathanWJ in a what? 70 million dollar car? Lol i would be too. An egg is going for ten mil, cant even imagine who could spend that on a car let alone 7x that. Truly your only buying rarity with the gto but i get it.
Neil TheGrass Tyson - not sure about that as these are so rarely sold which means we only have the auction value of the last sold version to use as a barometer, the certainty is that I will not be acquiring one any day soon!
I know red is the default color for this and any Ferrari, but seeing the ones that got different paint jobs/liveries is something special. I really, really like the blue with white racing stripe one at the end. Must’ve originally been a US racer/owner back in the day who bought it. Very Shelby Daytona Coupe-esque
Funny thing is they sound so much smoother after driving the cr@p out of it! It's like the cars are asking for it. Nice video and good sound quality! ^-^
Fun fact, according to Jeremy Clarkson, all these cars are hand built, therefore each car had a different engine displacement, and a different number of horsepower in each.
*39. • 33 of the "normal" cars • 3 with the 4.0L 330 engine sometimes called the "330 GTO"-recognizable by the large hump on the bonnet • 3 "Type 64" cars, with revised bodywork
@@MDDeGrande1994 39 250 GTO's as per the Ferrari records, found in Road & Track this month.....maybe you mean 36, and +3. Even your watch is right twice a day.......
I have an old Road & Track magazine from 1965. In the classified section in the back there were two 1964 GTOs and a 250LM for sale; all three cars had asking prices between $9,500 and $12,000!
When I realized they were about to do a mass start with some of the rarest, most iconic, most expensive cars in existence, all I could do was watch with my jaw on the floor.
True, 250 GTO is fucking beautiful!... But to me F40 is totally different animal and should be respected the same. But only time will tell. It was planned for only 300 but they end up at 1300 cars. 250 GTO's small number of population could also contribute to to its value.
Never have words so undeniable the god himself would be scared to apose been said yes perfection was reached I love all the 250 Ferrari’s LM GTO GTB/SWB GT Tour de France gt berlineta lusso California testa Rosa breadvan ect. Hope to own them all one day
Money aside, this is beautiful!! Enzo built these cars to drive (race). I think the owners who showed up for this event really appreciate that. Enzo would be proud!! I suspect the other owners have them as investments.
You can sort of see which of the cars were raced regularly. At 6:39, you can hear that Nick Mason's GTO (#22) and Lord Bamford's car (the car right after #22) had a slightly different exhaust note, probably due to all the race tuning and the lack of silencers.
Think what it costs to maintain and run one of these, or even just to get it to England because several of these are in the US. That's over 1/2 Billion dollars worth of automobiles on that starting line, and they're racing them. I love it!
I always knew I had an eye for the "right' car(s). Too bad I was poverty stricken. ie 1964 Porsche 904 going for $10,500. An original Cobra Daytona Coupe asking price around $10-$12K and lastly a 1957 Maserati 450S roadster but with a Pontiac engine for only $5K. The original engine was in a boat in Conn. If I had the money I'd stilll have themn all. These were all in the seventies.
john goeb Does sound like kind of a bummer... I know how the prices evolved, quite bizarre to see how many money could have been made. But the large majority has been sold multiple times, kind of in line like 'I can't pass on the 200k offer' - 'sold my GTO for 1mln!' etcetera. But remember, some cars are the classics of the future!! ;)
@@jacquesraymond6892 yes 70 million for the most profitable auction in the history. The median price is around 55 million dollars. You can't say all those cars will be sold at the maximum valuation
You know what’s interesting to think about? Back when the FIA toured Ferrari’s factory to make sure they built enough homologation cars to race most of these cars shown had parts from another one of these cars fit into them so that Ferrari only had to make 39 GTO’s
The latest 250 GTO sold for 48 million dollars (publicly, not privately). x 15 that's almost 3/4 of a billion dollars worth of cars. Usually it takes a container ship to fit that amount of cars but here it is in a single line-up.
