The Ferrari 250 GT SWB Berlinetta Competizione is estimated at about $8 million to $14 million in 2026, decided chassis by chassis, against a reported original price of about $13,500. It is the alloy-bodied competition version of the short-wheelbase 250 GT, built from 1959 for racing and lighter and rarer than the steel road car. Of about 165 SWBs, roughly 74 to 75 carried alloy competition bodywork.
The competition SWB used aluminium bodywork, tuned engines and lightweight fittings to turn the 250 GT into a front-line GT racer, winning its class at Le Mans and dominating GT racing at the turn of the 1960s. The evolution cars of 1961, sometimes called SEFAC Hot Rods, are the most extreme and sought after. Its reported original list price is about $13,500, higher than the steel road car, and is best treated as a reported figure.
Reference results support a central range of about $8 million to $14 million, firmer than a generic wide estimate. A 1960 Berlinetta Competizione sold for about $11.9 million (€10,158,125) at RM Sotheby's in 2024, a 1960 car for $13.5 million at Gooding in 2016, and another for $8.14 million in 2013, with results databases showing an average near £8.24 million, roughly $10.5 million. Cars with important period wins and continuous history can push above the range.
