This Ferrari is one of the fastest cars of its time and the most expensive classic of the 80s. The price? Secret, but certainly seven figures. One is for sale at Girardo GTO - Gran Turismo Omologato - at Ferrari, the legendary abbreviation stands for a homologation model and a myth: the 250 GTO is one of the most successful racing cars of the 60s, is at the same time one of the most beautiful Ferrari and the most expensive car in the world. When Ferrari presented the 288 GTO at the 1984 Geneva Motor Show, the car sold out almost immediately. For the price of 260,000 marks, there would have been three Mercedes 500 SL at that time. Today, a well-preserved 288 GTO with a good, comprehensible history costs around 2.5 million euros. When one is for sale. Only 272 units were built, 200 would have been necessary to get the homologation for group B. But while nothing came of the racing series, the Ferrari made a career as a collector's item. Exactly 400 hp at 7,000 rpm are opposed to almost 1,300 kg unladen weight. The torque of 496 Nm is available at 3,800 rpm. A 5-second sprint from zero to 100 km/h and a good 300 km/h top speed can only hint at what this power-to-weight ratio meant in 1984 - the 288 GTO was one of the fastest cars of its time. Niki Lauda owned one of them.
