Ferrari record-breaker

Ferrari sells for a record £8.1M at auction and evo witnesses the hammer going down...

Evo was in Maranello on Sunday the 17th May to see a collection of handpicked Ferrari and Maserati cars go under the hammer.

The star of the auction was undoubtedly a wonderful 1957 250 TR, which achieved the greatest price ever seen in an auction for a Ferrari, raising 9,020,000Euros, some 1,980,000Euros more than Chris Evans paid last year for his Ferrari California Spyder.

The eventual buyer was a telephone bidder, who was competing with another bidder present at the auction on the night.

Watch our video clip of the moment the hammer came down on the world’s most expensive Ferrari here.
