This car sports a 4.0-Liter V-12 engine beneath its hood, which gives it a total sum of 390-horsepower on the roadway. It was only used in a few races, with its best being a fifth place in the Le Mans back in 1963.

This particular vehicle was for auction at the Monterey Car Week this year, and it was driven by professional driver Derek Bell. There were only four of these ever created, which makes it rare in every sense of the word. The estimated value for this car is $32 million, which is less than the GTO, but still more than most of us can afford.

7 7. 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa

This car was sold for a record $39.8 million back in 2014, which is a lot of dough to dish out for a car. It debuted at the 24 Hours Le Mans in 1957, but it failed to finish the race. When it was done racing, this car was donated to the Henry Ford Museum near Detroit but was later sold in 1997 to John Hartley, Jr., a private collector.

When the sale went through this car was unrestored, but part of the reasoning behind that is the delicate care it was given by the museum for so many years. The name of the new owner has never been released, but we know he must be taking excellent care of it for the price he paid.
