by In Paris, a Ferrari Testa Rossa J children’s car was sold at auction for 204,000 euros, which corresponds to the cost of a full-size supercar like the Ferrari Roma. The lot went under the hammer during the auction by the RM Sotheby’s auction house. This was reported by Focus.ua.
The high price is explained by the exclusivity of the model. The Ferrari Testa Rossa J is a collector’s item, produced in very limited numbers and officially approved by the Italian automaker.
