1957 Ferrari 625 TRC Spider sells for R54 million



Imagine paying R54 million for a car? Some might say it’s completely crazy but when it’s a rare 1957 Ferrari 625 TRC Spider, it could be justified. Car freaks at Monaco’s RM Auctions salon paid more than R357 million with 10 cars fetching more than R10.6 million.

However, the 1957 Ferrari 625 TRC Spider started a bidding frenzy and was expected to fetch R32 million but ended up being sold for R54 million. Described as the “prettiest Ferrari ever built”, the Spider used to have a 2.5 litre engine but was restored in 1982 and now features 3.0 litre V12 that pushes out 240kW. The 55 year-old car is one of two ever built.  

What do you think about that?
