A 1964 Ferrari 250 LM helmed by Sergio Scaglietti will be headed to auction next month. The bodywork of the classic Ferrari was designed in 1963 and headed into a limited production run the following year as one of just 32 units built.The sleek red car takes on a curved, smooth design via a multi-tube space frame. Behind its futuristic look is a powerful 3-liter V-12 engine.Red cars were a personal favorite for Scaglietti, who worked closely with Enzo Ferrari and often worked without any blueprints or sketches, designing cars on the fly as he worked his way through the build.Four years after its debut, the 1964 Ferrari 250 LM went on to race at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1968. This particular model still boasts the original engine and transaxle used at the race. In 2021, the vehicle also u...

Amalgam, known globally for its fine hand-made scale models, has now made it possible for collectors to own a Ferrari 296 GTS for only $15,000 USD, set to be produced in a limited run of 199 examples.While still a significant amount of money for most to spend on a 1:8 scale model, the attention to detail found throughout is the best you'll get aside from the real thing from Ferrari -- which starts at $342,000 USD.Similar to placing an order for a brand new vehicle, Amalgam offers collectors the chance to custom spec their models, with each being hand-built by a small and expertly experienced team of craftsmen. Built to a 1:8 scale, the model sits at 57 cm or 22 inches long, with the final product representing 3,000 hours of development and 300 hours of building for each.Amalgam shared that...

The automotive world is rife with rivalry, but Ford vs. Ferrari is perhaps one of the most iconic ones (heck, it even has a film made in its honor). When the former was dominating the Le Mans races with its Ford GT, Ferrari responded with the 412P, a car that was designed to knock Ford off the top spot. Now, one of the four 1967 Ferrari 412P Berlinetta cars ever built is heading to auction next month as part of Bonhams' Monterey Car Week.The car in question has been raced, but it never won a title. It competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans race, and came third at Spa, but it was later sold to a client in the United States who converted this race-ready machine into a road-going monster.Today, it's still road legal -- and it's about as original as it can get. From the bodywork to the numbers-ma...

The first of 249 Acura NSX-Ts built for North America, in the model’s final production year, has just hit the RM Sotheby’s auction block.This particular model is not significant only because of its low serial number but also due to the immaculate condition it’s in and the low mileage on the odometer.

For those who may have been eyeing the F-150 Lightning but were potentially dissuaded by its price, Ford has significantly slashed the cost of the electric pickup. Previously set at $59,974 USD, the pickup is now going for $49,995 USD.The automaker attributed the reduction to increased capacity at its production plants, along with scaling production and an improvement in the cost of raw materials. In addition to the vehicle itself, trim prices have also been slashed. The XLT trims went from $9,479 USD to $8,479 USD.“Shortly after launching the F-150 Lightning, rapidly rising material costs, supply constraints and other factors drove up the cost of the EV truck for Ford and our customers,” Chief Customer Officer of the Ford Model e Marin Gjaja said. “We’ve continued to work in the backgroun...

The Lancia Delta HF Integrale is an automotive icon, known as a formidable backroad-blasting hot hatch that could keep up with the supercars of the 1980s.
