I think the buy-in for an FXX (if you are chosen by Ferrari) is close to 2.5 mil alone. And I am not really sure what the auction price would be for an F40 / Enzo these days. I think we are easily north of 4.

FXX is 1.8 million (no premiums and dealer costs/tax), then the F50 and F40 are worth over 1 million. You've still got the GTO (500k+) and the Enzo left

Nice! Those are all race / GTR versions too, not standard GTO, F40, or F50. Makes the Lancia Stratos behind the truck look as average as an Accord!

You're right, that's one of 3 F50 GTs in existence, I'd say that throws the speculation on their value way out of wack. F40 LM, 288 GTO Evoluzione.
