" What about alternative energy? A 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO is poised to break the $50m record for the public sale of a car at an auction coinciding with the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance event at Monterey, California on 24-25 August. The car, which was built in 1961 and driven by Enzo Ferrari, has been owned since its purchase from the estate of his late father Giovanni Battista Agnelli, who died in 1966. Alain Squindo, CEO of RM Sotheby's, which is holding the auction, said the car is one of the best examples of the 36 GTOs that were built and he is confident of achieving a record-breaking sale.
