Outrageously Expensive Cars That Will Make Your Jaw Drop

1935 Alfa Romeo 8C-35 – $9,425,000

Notching a win against a Silver Arrow should be feather enough in any racing car’s cap; doing so with the great Tazio Nuvolari at the wheel and under the banner of Scuderia Ferrari simply explains the win. All of that combined, however, helped the 1935-1936 Alfa Romeo 8C-35 Grand Prix Racing Monoposto that Bonhams offered at this past weekend’s Goodwood auction to sell for 5,937,500 British pounds ($9.4 million, including buyer’s fees), setting a new record for Alfa Romeos sold at public auction.
