Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari F40 Dream Has Finally Come True

Known for his talents on the racetrack, where he earned seven F1 World Championships over 20 seasons, Lewis Hamilton’s love for speed and cars extends well beyond the race paddock. Earning stardom in the sport after starting out in karting alongside a father who worked multiple jobs to support his son’s passion, Lewis’ success on and off the track has also allowed him to own some seriously incredible cars over the years, including a Pagani Zonda 760 LH, Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1, and Mercedes-AMG ONE, just to name a few. But while some of those now-god-tier cars have come and gone, there’s one that Lewis has long dreamed of owning since childhood: the legendary Ferrari F40.That dream has now become a reality for the Scuderia Ferrari F1 driver as he just took to Instagram to reveal his very own Ferrari F40 as the latest addition to the collection. Lewis shared in the caption that the F40 has been a dream of his for as long as he can remember, and when he joined Ferrari last year, he made sure one was waiting for him on his first day at Maranello. As one of the wealthiest drivers in Formula 1 history, you might expect Lewis to go for a pristine, fully restored F40 that was ready to hit the road the moment it arrived. But you’d be wrong. Instead, Lewis searched far and wide to find this one, covered in dust after sitting in a garage for over thirty years, ready for someone to bring it back to life. And that’s exactly what he’s doing. Before finding its way into Lewis’ garage, the F40 was shipped back to Maranello, where master engineers and technicians at Ferrari’s Classiche department are carrying out an extensive engine-out restoration and documentation process to return the car to factory showroom condition. Undertaking a journey like this is something right up his alley, building a connection with the car long before turning a key, learning all the ins and outs along the way. And as if things couldn’t have worked out better for Lewis, he even shared photos of F40 parts stamped with the number 44, tying his iconic racing number to his dream car and making the story behind the car even more special.Still a long way until the Ferrari F40 is on the road with an F1 World Champion behind the wheel going through gears, Lewis has promised to share more updates and moments along the way with fans and followers. Stay tuned into duPont REGISTRY News for more upcoming information on Lewis Hamilton’s new Ferrari F40. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lewis Hamilton (@lewishamilton)

Mike Tyson's Former Ferrari F50 Heads to Auction at Monterey Car Week

By Jordan Aquistapace –  August 11, 2026

Mike Tyson's Former Ferrari F50 Heads to Auction at Monterey Car Week

There’s no denying that Monterey Car Week is one of the most anticipated weeks on the automotive calendar, and with that notoriety and excitement from enthusiasts, auction houses bring out their very best to draw crowds of bidders and break records. For this year’s festivities, RM Sotheby’s has already teased an incredible lineup of supercars and hypercars, including Nick Mason’s 1996 McLaren F1 GTR prototype, a brand new 2025 Bugatti Mistral, and each of Ferrari’s ‘Big Five’ supercars. Tucked away in that fleet of five Maranello masterpieces is a 1996 Ferrari F50 originally owned by professional boxing legend “Iron” Mike Tyson, which will be auctioned off as part of The Monterey Auction on Saturday, August 15th. Estimated to bring between $7 million and $9 million, the Ferrari F50 has finally received the recognition it deserves, not only as the F40's successor, but as one of Ferrari's most important anniversary models. Finished in the Ferrari’s signature combination of Rosso Corsa over a Nero interior with red seat inserts, this US-spec Ferrari F50 rolled off the production line in early 1996 before making its way to Beverly Hills Sports Car in California. Tyson purchased the car shortly after reclaiming the undisputed heavyweight championship, making the F50 a celebratory gift to himself during one of the biggest moments of his career. While his ownership lasted less than a year, it's enough to make this example stand apart from the majority of F50s on the market. GALLERY-EMBED The story doesn't stop there either. Over the last three decades, chassis 104220 has passed through the hands of several well-respected Ferrari collectors, each helping preserve its originality and overall condition. Along the way, the car received meticulous servicing, including an engine-out service, clutch rebuild, lighting upgrades, a replacement fuel tank, and a recent major service completed by Ferrari of Newport Beach. Even more important to serious collectors, the car earned Ferrari Classiche certification in 2008, confirming its matching-numbers chassis, engine, transaxle, and bodywork. With just 6,196 miles showing on the odometer, it’s prepped for the next owners to enjoy more miles behind the wheel. Being one of only 349 Ferrari F50s ever built, the model has become one of the most desirable entries in Ferrari's celebrated "Big Six" lineup, with values continuing to climb as collectors recognize its Formula 1-inspired engineering, naturally aspirated 4.7-liter V12, and analog driving experience. This example takes things a step further with an impressive collection of factory items and sports memorabilia, including the original luggage set, owner's manuals, sales literature, hardtop, and even a pair of Everlast boxing gloves signed by Mike Tyson. As we prep for all the action of Monterey Car Week, it will be exciting  to see just how much Tyson's name influences bidding on his former Ferrari F50 when the hammer finally falls at RM Sotheby’s.

Drake Features a $50 Million Ferrari Collection in His ‘Janice STFU’ Music Video

Right now, there may not be a bigger name in music than Drake, who shocked fans and the entertainment world by dropping three albums at once and giving people exactly what they wanted. And while the Canadian rapper and business mogul has been making music headlines with his release of 43 songs, which are already charting across platforms like Apple Music and Spotify, he’s also making waves in the automotive world with a jaw-dropping cameo of Ferrari halo supercars and hypercars featured in his latest ‘Janice STFU’ music video. And while we know Drake to be a collector of all things automotive, even owning a yellow Ferrari LaFerrari at one point, it's best to believe that a favor was called in to a collector and friend of his to borrow the fleet for the music video.  Already surpassing 8 million views on YouTube, the scene is set inside the underlit garage of an estate, where the most iconic cars in Ferrari’s history sit parked on polished marble floors. On the classic side, the Ferrari F40 and Ferrari F50 remain two of the most sought-after models ever to wear the Prancing Horse badge, representing an era of raw, analog driving experiences that collectors continue to chase today. For newer Ferrari fans, the lineup also included heavy hitters like the Enzo, LaFerrari, the open-top Monza SP2, and the ultra-limited Daytona SP3, showcasing just how far the brand has evolved while still carrying the same DNA that made its earlier cars legends.  It’s a lineup that spans multiple generations of Ferrari history, but every car shares one thing in common: serious star power. Even with values on each of these Ferraris soaring daily among the collector car market, adding “featured in Drake’s chart-topping music video” to their provenance may carry even more hype to the price.

Some car collectors take pride in their loyalty to a single brand, dedicating their time, energy, and money to building the ultimate collection. For Grammy-winning DJ, rapper, and record producer, Swizz Beatz, his passion for all things automotive starts and ends with Ferrari supercars and hypercars, curating what’s believed to be one of the most impressive collections in the world. Already showcasing a stable full of Ferrari icons, including a Daytona SP3, Monza SP1, Monza SP2, LaFerrari, 599 GTO, and many others, his collection continues to grow and evolve as Ferrari unveils rare and innovative new models. Most recently, Swizz Beatz and his wife, Alicia Keys, traveled to Maranello, the hometown of Ferrari, to get a first look at his brand-new Ferrari SF90 XX Spider, which was on display at Musei Ferrari.The power couple already set the tone with outfits styled by Ferrari Style, which also happened to color coordinate perfectly with Swizz’s SF90 XX Spider spec. The open-top, track-focused version of Ferrari’s groundbreaking hybrid supercar comes finished in a clean Bianco exterior with gloss-black touches that beautifully balance and contrast its look, showing off the aggressive aero and curves of the car. The wheels play into the all-white theme with a paint-matched design, fitted with black prancing horse center caps, and a set of gloss-black carbon-ceramic brakes in the background. Inside, Swizz opted for a two-tone interior with a reverse color scheme, featuring a driver’s seat upholstered in white leather with black piping and a passenger seat finished in black leather with white piping.Delivery day proved to be even more special for the duo, as Musei Ferrari dedicated a section of the museum’s ‘Greatest Hits’ exhibit to Swizz Beatz’s longstanding history with Ferrari and the newest addition to his collection. While it may reside in Italy for the time being, it won’t be long until the Ferrari SF90 XX Spider makes its long journey to Southern California, where Swizz can get some much-needed time behind the wheel after waiting for it to finish production. Until next time, we can’t wait to see what’s next for Swizz Beatz and his growing collection of Ferraris. All Ferrari Inventory Source: Ferrari

Lewis Hamilton Stuns Tokyo Car Meet In a Ferrari F40 Ahead of Suzuka

Lewis Hamilton Stuns Tokyo Car Meet In a Ferrari F40 Ahead of Suzuka

The regulation changes for the 2026 Formula 1 season are already delivering plenty of drama. With Albert Park opening the calendar and Ferrari back on the podium in China, all eyes now turn to Japan for round three. But before the engines roar at Suzuka, Japan’s car culture stole the show. At the legendary Daikoku parking area, a sacred spot for Japanese Domestic Market enthusiasts, Lewis Hamilton made a surprise appearance. Located at the junction of the Shuto Expressway Bayshore Route (Route B), about 30 minutes out of Tokyo, if you’re even remotely into JDM cars, you know the significance of this place.  The seven-time world champion, coming off a podium in Shanghai, rolled up in a stunning red Ferrari F40 on Japanese plates. Pop-up headlights, five-spoke wheels, a high-revving 2.9-liter V8, and the unmistakable F40 silhouette stood in stark contrast. View this post on Instagram A post shared by KAWAII FITMENT. (@kawaii_fitment)   Daikoku PA, famed for its late-night meets, had its usual lineup: Nissan 240s, GT-Rs (including an R34 in the iconic 2 Fast 2 Furious silver blue Paul Walker tribute livery), even Porsches, and so much more. In a sea of neon-lit street racers, Hamilton in an Italian exotic certainly stole the show, even more so considering the F40 was only produced in left-hand drive, which in Japan is considered a status symbol. Hamilton, known for his flair both on and off track, was casually dressed in shades, a fur-lined jacket, and a beanie, and was all smiles. With plenty of cameras capturing the moment, he effortlessly blended into this underground scene, far removed from the sophistication of Formula 1. With round 3 of the F1 calendar yet to kick off, Japan has already delivered one of the defining images of the season: a fusion of F1 stardom and grassroots car passion, with Hamilton at the center.  View All Ferrari F40s For Sale Images: kawaii_fitment, underground_tokyo_meet

Ferrari Collector David Lee Enjoys A First Drive in His $38.5M 250 GTO

By Jordan Aquistapace –  February 04, 2026

Ferrari Collector David Lee's First Drive in His $38.5M 250 GTO

Car collectors and enthusiasts may love everything on four wheels, but there are always a few brands that scratch a deeper itch, fueling that passion into a lifelong quest to own the best that one manufacturer has ever built. For Ferrari Brand Ambassador and collector, David Lee, who goes by Ferrari Collector David Lee on social media, describes himself and his love for the Italian prancing horse to a T. What started off as filling a garage with a diverse collection of Ferraris quickly evolved into the dream of owning The Big Five, including the 288 GTO, F40, F50, Enzo, and LaFerrari. Achieving that dream in a legendary shade of red, David Lee took things to a whole other level, earning his next life goal of owning the same five Ferrari icons in an even more rare color, yellow. Even after sourcing, purchasing, and building the ultimate collection of Ferraris, one car remains the dream of David Lee and every classic Ferrari lover: the Ferrari 250 GTO. That dream came true at Mecum Auctions’ Kissimmee 2026, where he purchased the highly anticipated 250 GTO Bianco Speciale for a whopping $38,500,000. Now that the shock of the historic auction has settled, and the eight-figure Ferrari has finally arrived on the West Coast, to its forever home, David immediately hopped behind the wheel to film content and share this unbelievably memorable moment with fans and followers. The inaugural post on Instagram is a short clip of the only Bianco Speciale 250 GTO shifting through a few gears while on a spirited first drive, with the caption reading, “If you live in LA, you might see the Bianco Speciale in a neighborhood near you....” Following what could only be described as music to our ears, the next post shared features the car beautifully contrasted among the sea of red and yellow, which sits in a class of its own. Sure, it's impressive to see what most see, which happens to be an extraordinary amount of money in one garage, but for Ferrari Collector David Lee and other like-minded purists, it's where a dream, hard work, and legacy of iconic Ferraris intersect. So, you have to wonder what’s next for Ferrari Collector David Lee, maybe red and yellow 250 GTOs.
