About a year before the aforementioned Ferrari 250 GTO moved the record up to $38 million, this Mercedes-Benz racing car set a world record for the most expensive car sold at auction. Listed at the Bonhams Goodwood Festival of Speed sale in July 2013, the Formula 1 single-seater's exceptional provenance included wins by renowned F1 driver Juan Manuel Fangio. The car had a fuel-injected, 2.5-liter inline-eight engine. The W196 actually set three world records at the same time: the priciest Formula 1 car, the most expensive Mercedes-Benz, and the most expensive car of any make sold at auction.
