Auctioneers are offering a chance to own a piece of motorsport history with the sale of a Ferrari F40 what was gifted to legendary driver Alain Prost in 1990 when he joined Scuderia Ferrari.

Despite being the fastest car in the world at the time, Prost Prost never used the luxurious 1980s supercar and sold it shortly after receiving it. Nevertheless, the fact that the four-time world champion briefly owned the vehicle adds an extra layer of prestige to its already impressive pedigree. This iconic car, among many other loud, ostentatious, and expensive vehicles owned by F1 drivers, is up for grabs with a starting price of €2.5 million. Don’t miss this opportunity to own a unique and jaw-dropping piece of Ferrari art!

Here is the official announcement posted by Sotheby’s Sealed on their website:

“Sotheby’s Sealed is thrilled to offer this very special F40 at no reserve. Delivered new to four-time Formula 1 World Champion Alain Prost during his first season as a Scuderia Ferrari Formula 1 driver, this is a highly desirable ‘non-cat, non-adjust’ specification example of Ferrari’s vaunted supercar. Ferrari Classiche certified and retaining its original chassis, engine, gearbox, and bodywork, this F40 was awarded second in class honours at the Ferrari 70th Anniversary Concours in Maranello in 2017. A spectacular example of its breed having been delivered to one of Formula 1’s most successful drivers, this F40 is not to be missed.”
