The 20 most expensive cars from $300m+ Pebble Beach sale

Ferrari is clearly exempt from ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus’ oft-quoted maxim, ‘the only constant in life is change’. During last weekend’s Pebble Beach auctions, nothing changed. The most expensive car sold over the weekend was… a Ferrari 250.

So in the surreal microcosm of auction-land, nothing really changes. Yet another Ferrari 250 setting the world ablaze; this time, specifically, a Ferrari 250 LM, which sold for a whopping $17,600,000 through RM Sotheby’s monster three-day sale.

And it wasn’t the only 250 on offer. Another 250 GT ‘Tour de France’ went for $13.2. Over at Gooding & Co’s Pebble sale, a 250 GT Berlinetta Speciale changed hands for $16.5m, while a Cali Spider – just like Chris Evans’ old Spider – went for $16.8m.

RM Sotheby’s posted $172m over a three-day sale, while Gooding achieved in excess of $70m in just one day. That was Saturday. Sunday’s sale was similarly stratospheric, which means that over the weekend, some $300 million was exchanged for some of the most stunning, achingly desirable machinery on Planet Earth.

Of course, it wasn’t all Ferrari (but a lot of it, um, was, like the gorgeous F40 above). There were also notable entrants from Lamborghini, Jaguar, Porsche and McLaren with that F1, which all took record sums.
