Donald Trump’s Ferrari to sell for eye-watering | Tech News

A lavish Ferrari coupe, once owned by Donald Trump, is set to fetch a staggering sum as it heads to auction.

Rockstar Car Auction is slated to sell the 2007 Ferrari F430 F1 Coupe, previously owned by the 45th and 47th President of America, with bidding open until March 9, 2025.

The auction house has emphasized on its website that the coveted car comes with an array of documentation signed by the controversial politician and businessman.

They elaborated: “With just 9,400 miles, this Ferrari exemplifies automotive excellence and historical provenance that sets it apart.

“Included in its documentation are the original title signed by Trump, a warranty card in his name, and the original window sticker, making it a true collector’s dream.”

Manufactured between 2004 and 2009, the Ferrari F430 boasted state-of-the-art technology and performance stats for its time, capable of hitting a top speed of 196mph courtesy of its 4.3-litre V8 engine.

The model formerly owned by Donald Trump is in particularly pristine condition, having clocked only 9,400 miles and been stored in a heated garage throughout its existence.

As expected for a Ferrari, the vehicle sports the Italian brand’s iconic Rosso Corsa red paintwork, safeguarded by a protective film.

Skid plates have also been installed to prevent stone chips from marring its appearance.

Inside, Donald Trump‘s Ferrari boasts tan leather seat covers and a company-branded carry bag. Other standout features of the F430 F1 Coupe include climate control, red brake calipers, and a carbon fiber steering wheel.

The lucky winner will also receive various pieces of Donald Trump memorabilia, including a New York number plate bearing the registration ‘DJT’. However, as expected for a Ferrari with a celebrity connection, interested motorists will need deep pockets, with Rockstar Car Auction estimating a $1 million price tag.

While it’s noteworthy that Donald Trump‘s Ferrari is going under the hammer, it’s not the first time a car previously owned by the President has been sold to the public.

In January 2024, a 1997 Lamborghini Diablo VT once owned by President Trump fetched more than $900k – about three times its typical market value.

This model was custom-built for Trump, who kept the car for five years, making it the only Lamborghini ever produced in Blu Le Mans.
