WHY FERRARI DOMINATES TOP 10 LIST

gorgeous and even rarer.

The Alfa Romeo 8C 2900 Spider is one such car. It sits on the 10th rung of the ladder when it should be in the top five. Meanwhile, the absolutely stunning Bugatti Atlantique is not even in the top 25.

The delicate and stunning Talbot Lago 150C languishes in the 60s on the list. Even a modern Enzo is ranked in the top 50.

What about Saoutchik’s outrageous Hispano Suiza H6?

The real reason why Ferraris are so popular is because they race, and this makes little boys weak in the knees. We used to keep posters of our favourite racing cars on our walls, and it’s inevitable that there would be a Ferrari there somewhere.

These boys grow up wanting a Ferrari, and it becomes their life’s mission to find one for their garage.

This sort of strong emotion drives value to ridiculous levels and they are happy to pay the asking price, any asking price, just to have their dream car in the garage.

Chinetti’s North American Racing Team (NART), which he started to boost Ferrari’s image in the United States, may have had a hand in this, because the classic car world is primarily driven by American money, and, to some extent, Japanese interests.

NART made Ferrari the sole exotic among American-made racing machines, which were primarily built from standard family sedans or coupes.

Where other cars possess exceptional beauty and rarity, collectible Ferraris also tend to come with a glorious history, which may include competition documents and original racing equipment, such as seats and team apparel.

This is why the Mercedes AMG Project One, which costs RM7 million before taxes and duties, will become collectors gold in the future because it has some of the musthave ingredients.

Firstly, it is a Mercedes-Benz, it has some version of a Formula One engine in the back, it looks pretty awesome, and they will only build 275 examples of the car.
