record โFerrari Offerโ Rejected: Owner Turns downโข $100 Million for F50 GT
PARIS – Aโ Ferrari F50 โGT, one of โonly ten ever produced, has remained โin private โhands after its owner, Arthur โฃZafiropoulo, declined a record-breaking โข$100 โmillion โคoffer for the vehicle. Theโ rejectionโฃ underscores theโ enduring โคvalue-beyond โmonetary worth-placed on theโ most โฃexclusiveโข automobiles โby dedicated collectors.
Zafiropoulo has owned the uniquelyโข styled,carbon-fiber bodied F50 GT for nearlyโ three decades,resistingโฃ numerous attemptsโค to purchase the car. This latest offer would have shattered the existing auction record of $70 million paid for a 1962 Ferrari โ250 GTO in 2018,โฃ establishing a new benchmark for automotive collectibility. โฃThe F50 โGT’s extreme aerodynamics-including a prominent fin, significantโ diffuser, โroof-mountedโข air โintake, and black Speedline rims-distinguish it as aโ especially significant example of Ferrari’s racingโ heritage.
The car’s value isn’t simply tied to its rarity or performance. Zafiropoulo’s โฃsteadfast โขrefusal to sell speaks to a broader โsentiment among passionate enthusiasts: โขsome Ferraris areโ considered priceless, their historical and emotional significanceโข outweighing any financial incentive. โProvided that Zafiropoulo continues to own and,reportedly,drive the โF50 GT,it will remainโค a tangible link to a pivotal era in supercar โprogress,frequently enough โreferredโ to as the “Holy Grail” of โmodern Ferraris.
