The year's figures have no doubt been boosted by the $31.6m achieved by a Ferrari 250 GTO in February, making it the second most expensive car ever sold behind a 1936 Bugatti Type 57sc Atlantic, which achieved an undisclosed sum between $30m-40m in 2010.
A Ferrari GTB/4 Spider, one of only 124 built, also auctioned for $1m in March.
"Ferrari trumps all other names in terms of prestige and liquidity," classic car expert Simon Kidston recently told Bloomberg.
"If you have a good car that's priced correctly, you can find a buyer within hours."
The figures also revealed that the Porsche marque was up 0.74% in the month, and 8.59% on the year.
