- Renowned car collector Greg Whitten, an early Microsoft employee and current chairman of Numerix, owns the holy grail of vintage cars: a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO.
The third of only 36 ever produced, this 250 GTO has an illustrious racing history. It was first driven by Le Mans champion Phil Hill; Eduardo Lualdi-Gabardi won 9 out of 10 straight races behind it's wheel and Gianni Bulgari won the notoriously difficult Targa Florio in this car in 1963.
In the video Greg Whitten explains that the best vintage race cars have a great racing history because “cars with great race history have souls” and that he is honored to "sit in the seat of champions”. The 250 GTO will be the undeniable star of RM Sotheby’s upcoming Monterey auction, 24-25 August. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

His calm composure, the voice and the hold he has on the content, loved it!
The most beautiful automobile ever built, a masterpiece, the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO, Scuderia Ferrari.
Beautiful as all your videos...
Fenomenal collection!
I wonder if this is going to be another $70 million car. I love this car
Steve Hyena I was thinking maybe even 84 million.. one sold over in Europe two months ago for 70..
+Kevin Neal but this one doesn't have the racing pedegree of 4153GT and this one is actually for sale while the other wasn't. 45-60 seems to be a realistic estimation but we'll have to wait to see if that's right. 84 millions tought seems like really too much
48. I think this is the one that sold for 48 million
@@liamsilver4843 that's not the same one. Watch the auction video of the one you're talking about. Sold for 44m
@@stonedfacekilla 44 + 10% fee = 48
I got to sit in that Enzo at a car show in Washington state. Whitten is a very friendly guy. He let a bunch of us experience the driver's seat. We had to make sure to take anything potentially sharp out of our pockets first though!
It's been great seeing this beautiful car around, I always ask him when he is going to buy a Lamborghini?
I know he won't but it's fun to ask. He has a great collection that seems to be changing so maybe now he will? I could see him with a Miura JOTA, even though it never raced. Good luck Greg!!
250 GTO chassis 3413 GT is the queen of 1962 TRIESTE-OPICINA HILLCLIMB. EDOARDO LUALDI GABARDI at the wheel of 3413 GT achieved an overall win (with speed record of the race) in the legendary TRIESTE-OPICINA HILLCLIMB.
He reminds me of Frank Langella’s character from “The 9th Gate”
What a dream car
Bellissimo bellissimo bellissimo.
I remember reading an add for a used GTO in 1964..they were no longer competitive with the new Daytona coups..they were asking $20,000 outrageous!!!!
2:15 I like this car's colour 😍
MORE LIKE THIS
what was he on about saying the F40 had "8 liters of torque" while the enzo had "6 liters". It had 424lb-ft, and the enzo had 485lb-ft.
Saw Romulus race at the first Goodwood Revival in 1998, alongside its smaller brother Rhemus. But that is not a '62 body on that GTO. I take it that is a '64 body.
He drives them to you can see how much he does because of the dust on the front bumbers
My favorite car of all time, and the video has some great driving footage, but kind of anti-climatic at the end. I expected some more GTO footage with more sounds of the engine.
Nice living room
Best supercar all time
1:00 this is dream garage
"It can be driven on the streets"... Heh, right!
“Not just mashing the gas pedal”. Real driving, working 3 pedals, feeling the car from the seat of the pants. Today’s sports car customer doesn’t understand that anymore.
Takamusasu yes they do
Maje if they indeed do then 3 pedaled manual would be just as popular in the markets.
can't even watch this video. not a single onboard shot. what real drivers like is no concern for any type of business today. you can reach more customers if you build comfortable luxury garbage than drivers cars, you can reach more viewers if you make a ****ing disgusting vlog than a video targeted at people who like driving and not just looking at cars and listening to morons.... today everything is all about profits and hipsters/idiots/luxury goods. so go build your own car, do an engine swap, or just buy something lightweight and have fun with it. as ironic as it seems all classic/used drivers cars are being bought by the same customers who make lamborghini decide to stop producing their iconic gated 6-speed manual box, and they are becoming unaffordable thanks to inflation, those who profit from inflation (by being able to take millions of credit from banks), collectors who are stupid/arrogant enough to think driving machines are art, investors who honestly believe that cars are investments even though they are not (they can only count as investments if you're spotting/predicting trends and selling every car max 2 years after you bought it, and if you're buying and selling right away you aren't an investor in my eyes, you're a car dealer or someone ruining the market but since you can't/don't invest in cars long term (because that's a gamble) you're not an investor) or who simply have to much money and can't find better investments because the 1800 billionaires in our world have already bought every inch of our world and every product which holds its value over time.
it's a trend that can't be stopped so we have to learn to live with it and just build our own stuff. motortrend starts producing videos for kids, performance brands build SUVs, morons make the prices of driverscars skyrocket by being arrogant enough to deny the fact cars are driving machines instead of art and collecting them like they are furniture or drawings, or by being able to destroy the market with electronic money, the car section of youtube consists of the vlogs of teenagers, BMW develops useless gadgets (gesture control) and couldn't care less about continuing to build milestone cars, etc etc.
I'm 25 and I sound like a grandpa "everything was better in the past" "I hate change" and as legit as my opinion is I just have to move on. it's like we're enthusiasts of steam engines and everyone else has moved on so we can decide to be depressed or to build our own cars, no 3rd option. it's a bad example because we're rightfully holding on to our ideal of cars (shouldn't have useless features, should involve the driver as much as possible, should be fun) and the "future" is bullshit (electric cars suck and aren't environmentally friendly, gadgets are for kids, luxury garbage is garbage, at a certain point comfort is unnecessary or at least far from a priority, cars are fun, etc.).
herbert hans I fucking love how you think!!!!!!! 💯💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Enjoy in good health.
Is this the same car? Literally one of the most expensive car man has ever seen. It couldn't be... right?
2:13 What car is this?? Love the paint scheme.
It's a Lotus Elan 26r
@@robcarey2411 😂😂😂
Jesus Christ yes 250 gto special edition 599s Enzo and f40 classic 1950 and 1940s era race cars fuck yea Ferrari!!!
At first I looked at the cars and thought, holy shit, I recognize a lot of them and that’s a lot of dough, I wonder what the hell this guy does? Then I heard the words Microsoft and early. Nuff said.
Is this the Neil Corner car of his 1968 onwards ownership?????
Yes, David. Neil Corner owned this car around 1968.
Thought it was,thanks.Worked for the Corner family for many years until recently.Believe it was one of a few Gto's in ownership over a period back then.
All these cool ass dudes drove these cars like heroes, now they're owned by some nerd with an apple watch that's scared to put 10 miles on the clock, hahaha
That's the old rich fart paradox at work. Only they can afford such cars, when they're the last ones that need to be driving them.
I would like to know about Microsoft
Hello, I found this TH-cam clip that adopted part of your video clip without any referencing (th-cam.com/video/dCmTquumyV0/w-d-xo.html). See from the beginning. I was just wondering whether they got your permission before they uploaded their video.
Why do only some 250 GTO’s have the 4 gaps in the front between the front bumper and bonnet but others like this are just flat and normal
The '62 GTO is the one you're thinking of, this one has the '64 Hillclimb conversion. Basically depends what year and what type of racing they were doing
this is the new 64’ series II body and there is only 3 in existance
@@owlcritic To me the most famous is the '63 GTO, re-bodied with a '64 shell driven by Graham Hill
No Two GTOs are identical. They all have slight variations from each other.
Sold for 44M + premium
I wonder if Ferrari are pissed when a collector sells a GTO....
+Jon
Not at all.
When a GTO is sold it all-most always sells for more than the last one, and that raises the brand's image to be even greater than it already is.
These cars are great marketing for Ferrari.
@@FUNZO1975 I suppose so. But if that were the philosophy, they wouldn't have had to lease F50s for fear of flipping.
+Jon
I do remember that, it was said to be in response to the buying/selling at very inflated prices of the F40. Ferrari only wanted buyers whom were REAL enthusiasts to get F50's and I don't blame them. Also, the F50 wasn't likely to become an icon of racing history like the GTO was and Ferrari knew it.
However the 62-64 GTO's are in a completely different world. First of all their time had come and gone a long time ago. Back then it was hard to get even a quarter of the cost out of a used race car when the tech in the "new" cars had superseded them, even if the "old" car was in good shape and was new only 3 or 4 years earlier. No one was thinking in terms of the "collectability" these cars would have do to their historic significance.
Also, the amount of racing that these cars are subjected to in current times is quite amazing considering the value that they have. It seems that amongst the very limited number of owners (39 cars total) most of them get those cars to as many track events as possible. It's as if the majority of owners don't respect the few whom won't risk their cars by bringing them out for the notable historic races that happen yearly in different parts of the world. Ferrari had nothing to do with that kind of culture surrounding the GTO, it happened inside the circle of owners whom ended up with these cars as the values had risen.
And it seems that no mater how insanely expensive the GTO's get, if you can get one and you DON'T have it brought and driven at Goodwood or any of the other events where these cars are driven in anger (and they really are, it's beautiful) then the other owners will consider you a pussy.
This kind of atmosphere around the GTO is something that Ferrari's marketing people can only capitalize on because there is nothing that they can do to control it. And they are also quite aware that they would be stupid to change any of this even if they could.
With millions of dollars to spend on cars, you'd think this guy would invest in an iron...
This does not look like a 1962 GTO to me. It looks like a 1964, one of the last ones ever made. I don't know why he calls it a 1962. Was it rebodied? The black and white stills do not help much either. Some are of the old body style and some are of the new.
Watch part 2 of the video's
Thanks, Bogfinken! I finally got there.
It is rebodied
yes,this car was rebodied with the 64’ series II body,of which only 3,of the the total of 39 GTO’s exist. #23 went off the auction block recently for just under 50 million dollars
how he just going to skip over his two la ferraris and that tdf lol
Very odd that he limits F40 at 155mph, that is sunday driver speeds for any sportscar on street let alone F40 on racetrack. Maybe he would enjoy and know his cars better if he had driven them and not just park them.
Did he say 8 liters in the F40???
Edison73100 yeah.
Tommy Freckmann
Well, that's not right.
He likely meant to say cylinders.
Quit messing around & drive it like you stole it. These cars were engineered to be driven hard so have fun with it before you sell it.
F40 is not 8 liters
Somebody buy this man a Lamborghini SVJ , he looks bored .
Lambos are trash
That’s a 1964 GTO.
????????
Kermit the Frog Sells a 250 GTO
Roadster.....
There is nothing "Holy" abouty this car, and it is blasphemous to think or say so. It is just a car.
Compessor auch noch.....
250 should be in Yellow. Just Saying
