Top 10 Ferraris in Art

Dear Ferrari Enthusiast,

2012 is Car Art's 10th anniversary!

Time for a Top 10 list : )

At Pebble Beach last year I saw one of my all-time favorite cars: the 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa, designed by Sergio Scaglietti.

That day, August 20, it sold for $16.4m. -- a new world record for a car at auction (previously $12m. for another TR in '09.)

Exactly three months later, Scaglietti passed away, aged 91. The maestro had also co-designed the legendary 250 GTO, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year.

Collectors clearly covet his cars. What about fine artists?

Our Ferrari Gallery is the biggest of all, with almost 200 artworks of 70 different cars. These are the most portrayed:

TOP 10
1. 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa
2. 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO
3. 1961 Ferrari 156 'Sharknose'
4. 1967 Ferrari 330 P4
5. 2002 Ferrari Enzo
6. 2005 Ferrari F430
7. 1987 Ferrari F40
8. 1968 Ferrari 206/246 GT Dino
9. 1950 Ferrari 166 MM
10. 1970 Ferrari 512S

So artists love Scaglietti designs most, too!

Btw,  the guy who sold the Testa Rossa bought that stunning painting of his car by Dennis Brown. High maintenance exotics come and go, but he'll never part with the art. It's the best thing next to owning the car -- hey, you can have a Testa Rossa!
