At an auction in Monaco, someone bought this exquisite 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder for a whopping $19.5 million!
Well, we’d say that’s money well spent because this car is considered one of the most beautiful and pedigreed Ferraris ever built, combining timeless design with race-winning performance. Also, there are only 56 such examples that exist.
Out of the 56 models, this specific Ferrari is the 26th unit. It features covered headlamps, orange signal lamps in a low position on the front wings, and no bumper brackets. To match the Bianco Saratoga paint, Nero vaumol leather has been used in the interior.
The Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder uses a 3.0L V12 engine mated to a 4-speed gearbox. Constructed from light alloy and featuring two overhead camshafts with two valves per cylinder, it makes 280 hp.
