Offered from RM Sotheby’s Sáragga Collection auction, 20–21 September 2019.

In 1932 the Ferrari shield appeared for the first time on the Alfa Romeo cars being raced at the Grand Prix of Spa under the Scuderia race team. The prancing horse was derived from the fuselage of a fighter plane piloted by Francesco Baracca during the First World War. During a meeting with the heroic pilot’s parents, the countess Paulina Baracca told Enzo Ferrari, “Ferrari, put my son’s prancing horse on your cars. It will bring you good luck.” He complied, adding the canary-yellow background symbolizing the color of Modena, Enzo’s birthplace, and the letters S and F, denoting Scuderia Ferrari. In 1947, the first production car produced at Maranello under the Ferrari brand was the 125S. While deeply rooted in Scuderia Ferrari’s race heritage, it received a rectangular badge with the prancing horse still over canary yellow, but now with the Italian flag at the top and the letters S and F replaced by the word Ferrari.

The prancing horse instantly evokes the passion of the marque—each model is steeped with decades of motorsport history and technology, enthralling driving characteristics, the distinctive concerto of Ferrari’s high-revving engines, and emotive Italian styling that is both edgy and elegant.

Pininfarina refined the 308’s sharp, angular design by smoothing the lines from nose to tail and replacing the bulky black front and rear bumpers with molded plastic versions painted in body color, which integrated nicely into the softened profile of the vehicle. In addition to aesthetic changes, overall aerodynamics improved. Its 3.2-liter V-8 produces 270 horsepower, propelling the GTB to 60 miles per hour in just 5.5 seconds and to a top speed of 170 mph.

Estimate: €50,000 - €70,000 EUR | Offered Without Reserve

 

The GTS Turbo was developed specifically for the Italian market as an alternative to the naturally aspirated 328, providing the performance and excitement of the 328 without being subjected to the 38 percent VAT rate that was applied to vehicles with displacements larger than 2.0 liters. The tiny 1,991 cc V-8 received a water-cooled IHI turbocharger producing 15.2 psi of boost, and an intercooler to produce 251 horsepower and 242 ft. lb. of torque. NACA intake ducts were integrated into the body to feed the two-liter engine with fresh air, and a redesigned engine cover accommodated the intercooler.

The elegant lines of the Pininfarina-sculpted bodywork recall the famed 275GTB. This car is considered to be the ultimate modern Ferrari GT car. Beneath the elegant exterior, a 5.75-liter twelve-cylinder engine produces 515 horsepower—enough to unlock a 200 mph top speed and a 0–60 time of only 4.1 seconds. The F1-style semi-automatic gearbox was available for the first time in a twelve-cylinder Ferrari and allowed 21st-century supercar performance in the timeless 550 Maranello shape.

Estimate: €100,000 - €130,000 EUR | Offered Without Reserve

 

The Testarossa premiered at the 1984 Paris Auto Show and quickly rose to become one of Ferrari’s most popular models. The rear mid-engine design placed the center or mass directly in the center of the vehicle, improving handling and stability, and achieved a favorable weight distribution of 40 percent at the front and 60 percent at the rear. The 512 TR was a complete re-engineer of the Testarossa to make it more competitive against its main rival, the Lamborghini Diablo.

Estimate: €60,000 - €80,000 EUR | Offered Without Reserve

 

Pietro Camardella designed the shapely 456 grand tourer—a 2+2 coupé powered by a 5.5-liter V-12 capable of propelling the vehicle to 192 miles per hour, making it the world’s fastest production four-seater from 1992–2002. The 456M was unveiled in 1998, making subtle improvements that resulted in a significantly improved car. The interior underwent a complete revision to improve ergonomics, the V-12’s firing order was changed for smoother running characteristics, the motorized undercarriage was removed in favor of a fixed version, and the composite hood was exchanged for a carbon fiber version.

2003 Ferrari 360 Spider

 

Estimate: €70,000 - €90,000 EUR | Offered Without Reserve

 

Unlike the convertible Ferrari models of the past, the 360 Modena’s monocoque was designed with the spider variant in mind from its inception. The spider and berlinetta variants offered similar levels of static and dynamic rigidity and a mere 60 kg of additional weight in the spider, meaning nearly identical performance between the two.
