Timeless Style: 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO: $70,000,000

This record setting 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO just topped the list as the most expensive car in the world, selling for a reported $70 million. This silver painted model with the chassis number 4153 GT is the 1964 Tour de France winner, immediately putting this car into automotive royalty. Being that Ferrari only manufactured 36 of the 250 GTOs in the span of 1962 – 1964, the vintage Ferrari became a collectible overnight.

Selling for only $18,000 in 1962, the 250 GTO is now the most valuable car in the world due to its luxurious design philosophy, 300 hp V12 engine with its winning track record and extremely limited quantity; the Ferrari 250 GTO is truly an automotive icon.

Innovation BMW iX Flow (color changing car):$106,000

Premiering first at CES 2022 in Las Vegas, BMW automakers have surpassed all expectations with their color changing car. The BMW Flow iX SUV concept can shift color hues with the push of a button. Using innovative technology labeled “E Ink”, BMW is able to choose between different shades of white and black depending on preference or mood. When asked “does a car always have to look the same?” BMW ques-tioned the status quo and took it upon themselves to find an answer, thinking first of the benefit of a car being white on hot days and black on cold days. The BMW iX Flow became the answer as it’s covered in an electrophoretic film containing microcapsules of E Ink that when charged by an electric field can change color, creating an Electronic Paper Display (EPD). This innovation not only amazes audiences but also opens the door to new innovative design and personalization in luxury.

The Ultimate Truck Rivian R1T: $100,000

"The most remarkable pickup truck we’ve ever driven” remarked MotorTrend after naming the Rivian R1T the 2022 Truck of the Year. As the first mass-produced all-electric pickup truck in the U.S., newcomer Rivian puts the trucking industry on notice. Part truck, part sport sedan; the R1T can handle both on-road and off with ease. The Rivian R1T feels like the truck of the future, and for good reason. Incredible innovation inside and out, the R1T comes fully equipped with a plethora of drive modes, real-time torque vectoring, regenerative brakes, and towing capacity that rivals the top trucks on the market. As with any truck, storage is paramount, and Rivian has made a genius move with the 11.6 cubic foot ‘Gear Tunnel’, allowing for the storage of backpacks, ski bags, strollers, fishing poles and an adventurer’s dream in the Cool Camp Kitchen. A truck built for anything, the Rivian R1T makes its name known in this segment.
