Ferrari 335 S Spider fetches £24.64m €32m in Paris auction

 1957 Ferrari 335 S Spider which set both a lap record at the Le Mans 24-hours race before dropping down to fifth with mechanical troubles, has set another record for the highest price to be paid for an automobile in the Artcurial auction where two bidders battled for more than 10 minutes for  £24.64m €32m.

The Ferrari 335 S Spider Scaglietti fitted with 4.1 litre engine that generates 300 horsepower and can reach speeds of over 300km per hour without seat belts. The all-time dollar record is held by Ferrari 250 GTO that Bonhams sold for £26.22 ($38m) at Pebble Beach in California in 2014.
