The car that managed to fuel the ego of our colleague is a 2006 Ferrari FXX Evoluzione, a jewel which was able to snatch $2.1 million and climb at the top of the list of rare cars sold in Scottsdale.
The model is powered by a 6.3l V12 engine good for 859 hp and it promises to get its new owner to new speed limits: 400km/h (248.5) mph. Even at that high speed, the vehicle would be very noticeable, as it is one of only 30 units ever manufactured by the Italian geniuses.
But the FXX was not the only car worth spending a whole lot of money. The worst seller in the top ten cars sold at the auction, a 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4, snatched a remarkable $1,155,000, making David Gooding, president and founder of Gooding & Company, say that “strong 2011 auction sales will result from an increasing demand for preservation-class quality cars.”
