Ferrari 250 prices in 2026 run from about $250,000 for a 250 GTE 2+2 to roughly $55 million for the 250 GTO, the most valuable collector car on the public market. The 250 is not one car but a wide family of 1950s and 1960s road and competition models, and this guide sets out the 2026 value of each major 250.
The most searched models are the 250 GTO, the 250 California Spider, the 250 Testa Rossa, the 250 GT SWB, the 250 GT Lusso and the 250 LM, alongside the Tour de France, GTE, MM and Europa GT. Values are decided car by car on chassis history, originality, coachwork and race provenance, and a California Spider LWB, a SWB competition car and a road Berlinetta can sit tens of millions apart. The rarest examples change hands privately rather than at public auction.

The 250 name covers a decade of Ferrari road and racing cars sharing the compact 3.0-litre Colombo V12. The 250 GTO is the halo of the series and of the entire collector market. The 250 California Spider is the open road car, offered in long-wheelbase (1957) and short-wheelbase (1960) form, with the SWB the more valuable. The 250 GT SWB is the short-wheelbase Berlinetta, built in steel road and rarer alloy competition specifications. The 250 Testa Rossa is the sports racing car. Below these sit the 250 GT Lusso, 250 LM, Tour de France, GTE 2+2, MM and Europa GT, plus one-off coachwork such as the SWB Breadvan and various Zagato, Bertone and Pininfarina specials, which are valued individually.
When new, a 250 cost a fraction of today's figures: a 250 GTO listed at $18,000 to $18,500 in 1962, and these were never uniform global list prices, as Ferrari selected the buyers personally. In 2026 the GTO trades from about $38 million to $55 million, with the very highest results tied to exceptional single chassis rather than the norm. The 250 Testa Rossa is estimated at $30 million to $40 million or more, the California Spider runs from about $5.5 million for a long-wheelbase car to 20 million for the best short-wheelbase examples, and a steel 250 GT SWB Berlinetta sits at roughly $5.5 million to $10 million, with alloy competition cars higher. These are indicative values, not a fixed price list.
The 250 series carries the deepest motorsport bloodline in Ferrari history, including outright wins at Le Mans and the Tour de France and the near-mythical status of the GTO. Each car is judged individually on its chassis number, matching components, coachbuilder, originality and competition record, which is why two 250s of the same model can sit millions of dollars apart. Supply is fixed and shrinking, which keeps values firm at the very top of the market.

FAQ
Ferrari 250 price in 2026: the GTO, California Spider, GT SWB, Testa Rossa and where to buy.
It depends on the model. In 2026 prices run from about $250,000 for a 250 GTE 2+2, through 1 million for a 250 GT Lusso and 5.5 million to 10 million for a steel 250 GT SWB Berlinetta, up to 5.5 million to 20 million for a California Spider, 30 million to 40 million or more for a 250 Testa Rossa, and about 38 million to 55 million for a 250 GTO. Each car is priced individually on history and originality.
The 250 GTO. It is the most valuable Ferrari and one of the most valuable cars in the world, with 2026 values from about $38 million to $55 million and exceptional single chassis reported higher. Only 36 were built between 1962 and 1964.
The 250 GTO trades from about $38 million to $55 million in 2026. One example sold for $51.7 million in 2023 and another for 38.5 million in January 2026; the 60 million dollar and higher figures usually reflect older or private sales. It cost $18,000 to $18,500 new in 1962, one of the greatest appreciations of any car. A dedicated 250 GTO price page is coming.
The 250 California Spider runs from about $5.5 million for a long-wheelbase (LWB) car to 20 million for the best short-wheelbase (SWB) examples in 2026. A rare alloy SWB Competizione reached $25.305 million in 2025, which is not the value of a standard car; a more typical SWB sold near 18 million in 2023. A dedicated 250 California Spider price page is coming.
A steel-bodied 250 GT SWB Berlinetta sits at about $5.5 million to $10 million in 2026, and one sold for 9.465 million in 2023. The rarer alloy-bodied SWB Berlinetta Competizione cars, built for racing, trade from about $8 million to $14 million depending on chassis and race history. A dedicated 250 GT SWB price page is coming.
The 250 Testa Rossa is estimated at $30 million to $40 million or more in 2026, as a private and off-market indication rather than a recent auction result. It is a sports racing car built in small numbers, and prototype and customer variants differ widely in value. A dedicated 250 Testa Rossa price page is coming.
A Ferrari 250 LM is estimated at $18 million to $25 million in 2026, based on comparables. The 36.35 million dollar result at RM Sotheby's in 2025 is exceptional and should not be read as the standard value: that car, chassis 5893, was the outright winner of the 1965 Le Mans 24 Hours. A dedicated 250 LM price page is coming.
The most accessible 250 is the 250 GTE 2+2, at about $250,000 to $500,000 in 2026, because it was built in far larger numbers than the competition cars. Cars with a Ferrari Classiche certificate and a sought-after colour combination reach the top of that range. Beware of GTEs converted into GTO or Testa Rossa replicas, which are not comparable to an original car.
The 250 series carries Ferrari's deepest motorsport history, including wins at Le Mans and the Tour de France, and each car exists in tiny numbers that cannot increase. That combination of provenance and fixed supply keeps values at the very top of the collector market.
