1962 Ferrari 250 GTO sells for record $38M
A few decades ago you could buy a crappy NBA franchise for $40 million; these days that princely sum will only net you one Ferrari.

While we were at it, Hyundai just happened to drop a few tidbits about the future for its upcoming N performance brand, as well. Read it all, here.
The next Corvette ZR1 will be mid-engined
We know, we know. You first heard the legend of the upcoming mid-engined Chevy Corvette when you were just a babe at your grand pappy's knee. A few promising concept cars and decades worth of rumors have routinely been proved wrong for stories of this ilk, and yet, our friends at Motor Trend really do think that the engine of the next ZR1 might find itself behind the cockpit, when all is said and done. The truth is out there...
