In the United States set another record price for classic cars: a rare Ferrari 250 GTO sold for $ 52 million. Who wished to remain anonymous admirer bought sports car with chassis number 5111 to the famous collector Paul Pappalardo from the state of Connecticut. Launched in 1962, the 300-strong 250 GTO has a good \"track record\": she won a car, \"Tour de France\" in 1963, and following two consecutive years, finished first in the high-speed races on the mountain Shemruss. Pappalardo owned the car since 1974; collector did not explain his decision to part with it. <br />At the moment, it is presumably the most expensive production car in the world, bought openly. The previous price record was set last year in IT-tycoon Craig McCaw, it paid $ 35 million as of the GTO Ferrari 250, previously owned by Sir Stirling Moss. It is worth noting that from 1962 to 1964, a new car in this model, cost $ 18 $ 500 - though the purchasing power of the US currency was quite different then, in addition, the buyer\'s candidacy had to be personally approved by Enzo Ferrari. <br /> <br />Total Ferrari has released 39 copies of the 250 GTO, and most of them settled in the collections of a variety of high and mighty - from rock stars to the drug barons and influential politicians. Analysts say the market of automotive classics crazy prices for a sports car can not be explained by any reasonable arguments and use the term \"marketing bubble\". And we believe that when we are talking about the possibility to get a car, no amount of zeros on the check is not too big ....
