It was founded by namesake Enzo Ferrari in 1929 under the name Scuderia Ferrari. The luxury and racing car company went through several iterations before the Ferrari known worldwide today was conceived in 1947. The first Ferrari built-in 1947 was the Ferrari 125 sport boasting what was at the time an impressive 1.5-liter 12-cylinder engine. Later that year the Ferrari could be seen on racing circuits. The company enjoyed almost immediate success in both the racing and private sectors, securing its spot as the world-renowned auto manufacturer it is today.
Ferrari is one of the most well-known brands of cars in the world. They’re known for both their impressive racing records as well as their luxury-style streetcars.

However, the Ferraris on this list will make that impressive sum seem like pocket change. So, without further ado, here are the top 10 most expensive Ferraris in the world.
