The Radio 2 DJ paid £12m for the 1963 model, which was one of only 36 to be made.
According to The Sun, the 44-year-old sold off three vehicles from his sports car collection to buy the vintage Ferrari 250 GT. The car has five manual gears and does zero to 60 in 6.1 seconds.
Evans posted a picture of his latest motor on Twitter with the caption: "The new one has arrived."
An announcement was made earlier this week that ratings for Radio 2's breakfast slot have been boosted by 8% since Evans took over from Sir Terry Wogan earlier this year.
