1963 Ferrari 250 GTO

UK radio and television personality Chris Evans is said to have bagged one of the rarest Ferraris ever. A 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO, one of only 36 ever built between 1962 and 1963, is said to have finally landed in the DJ's garage. Apparently he has been searching for one for many years and even came very close to a purchase 15 years ago. Yesterday he posted a photo on Twitter alongside the caption "the new one has arrived", thus confirming his latest acquisition.

Reports say 44 year-old Evans shelled out a cool £12 million (US$17.7 million) for the classic sports car. What he paid for includes history, an aluminium 3.0-litre V12 engine with 216kW (290bhp/ 294PS) at 8,000 rpm, as well as rear-wheel-drive.

It will probably park alongside other Ferraris the man keeps at his place, including a Nero Black 1961 Ferrari 250 GT SWB California Spyder that once belonged to actor James Coburn.

Ferrari F50 Images Review

The Ferrari F50 is a mid-engined range-topping sports car made by Ferrari. The F50 was introduced in 1995 to celebrate the company's 50th anniversary. The car is a two door, two seat convertible with a removable hardtop. It has a 4.7 L naturally-aspirated 60-valve V12 engine that was developed from the 3.5 L V12 used in the 1992 Ferrari F92A Formula One car.

Only 349 cars were made, one fewer than Ferrari estimated they could sell. This was, in the words of Ferrari spokesman Antonio Ghini, because "Ferraris are something cultural, a monument. They must be hard to find, so we will produce one less car than the market." The last F50 was produced in Maranello, Italy in July 1997.

Ferrari Enzo Pictures Gallery

The Enzo Ferrari is a 12 cylinder mid-engine berlinetta named after the company's founder, Enzo Ferrari. It was built in 2002 using Formula One technology, such as a carbon-fibre body, F1-style electrohydraulic shift transmission, and Carbon fibre-reinforced Silicon Carbide (C/SiC) ceramic composite disc brakes. Also used are technologies not allowed in F1 such as active aerodynamics and traction control. After a downforce of 775 kg (1,709 lb) is reached at 355.6 km/h (221 mph) the rear wing is actuated by computer to maintain that downforce.

The Enzo's V12 engine is the first of a new generation for Ferrari. It is based on the architecture of the V8 found in sister-company Maserati's Quattroporte, using the same basic architecture and 104 mm (4.1 in) bore spacing. This design will replace the former architectures seen in V12 and V8 engines used in most other contemporary Ferraris. The 2005 F430 is the second Ferrari to get a version of this new powerplant.
