7. 1958 Ferrari 250 TR

Built from 1957 to 1958, the Ferrari TR, or Testa Rossa, is the second most valuable Ferrari after the 250 GTO. A total of 21 Testa Rossas were built, 2 factory cars and 19 customer cars. a 1957 250 Testa Rossa sold for $16,400,00 at auction, a world record auction price for a car when inflation is ignored. The name Testa Rossa means “red head” and was given to the vehicle due to the red valve covers the engine had. The body styling was considered unorthodox, with the front fenders visually separated from the central body design. This model was often referred to as the “Pontoon” TR. After 1958 the Testa Rossa was given a more aerodynamic “coke bottle” design.
