Featuring a 2.4-liter V-8 engine, the 248 was the first Ferrari model to use this configuration since 1964. Initially, the car produced 730 hp, but reached 785 hp by the end of the 2006 season. This remarkable performance made the model a milestone in Ferrari’s history and motorsport.

The current owner acquired the Ferrari 248 from the Ferrari team in 2007, and in 2008 the car received the Ferrari Classiche Red Book certification, attesting to the originality of its components.

Although RM Sotheby’s has not disclosed an estimated price, bidding for the auction will start on November 14, providing a unique opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts.
