Ferrari 290MM
The Ferrari 290 MM. A fun candy to have in-house, so close to the holidays.

The Italian is from 1956 and is similar to his racebroertjes from that time. Still, the 290 MM, perhaps, more unique than you initially would think. Ferrari built just four copies of the hot rod and spooned a V12 Formula 1. The block was reduced to 3.5 liters and knew 324 horsepower to deliver.

This 290 with chassis number 0626 was not exactly silent. So has the five Argentinean Formula 1 champion Juan Manuel Fangio in 1956 participated in the Mille Migla, where he is a fourth place managed to write it down. Also, the 1000km of Buenos Aires in 1957, in the name of the Ferrari. Another important race was the 1000km of the Nurburgring. The red monster claimed third place with a team of top riders. (R. I. P Phil Hill)

The racer is on december 10, will be auctioned at a party at the RM Auctions in New York. Because of deep history, and the exclusivity are the expected high on the final auction price. Experts speak about an amount over the $ 28 million. A possible record.

UPDATE: sold, for $ 28 million!
