When it comes to motorsport legends, you can’t ignore Michael Schumacher—or Ferrari for that matter. And when you blend the two, magic happens. Case in point: the 2006 Ferrari 248 F1, a car that practically inhaled checkered flags for breakfast. And yes, it is yet another Schumacher’s F1 race car to go on the block.
This isn’t just any Formula 1 car; it’s the exact chassis Schumacher used to win five Grand Prix races in his final season with Ferrari. Oh, and did I mention it’s the car in which he broke Ayrton Senna’s long-standing pole position record? If cars could boast, this one would never stop talking.
Those are not it. This beast of a machine not only catapulted Schumacher to victory in races like the San Marino and German Grands Prix, but it also marked his final pole position and Grand Prix win on home soil. It’s like owning the 250 GTO of F1—only fewer exist. And now, it’s up for grabs, freshly certified by Ferrari Classiche and still sporting all its original components.
To top it all off, this red rocket was tucked away in a private collection since 2007, only coming out for the occasional test session at Ferrari’s Fiorano track and a brief museum stint in LA. Just keep in mind, it’s been a bit sleepy for the last decade, so it’ll need a little love to get back to its screeching glory.
As for the price? Well, that’s on a need-to-know basis. But let’s be real, if you have to ask, you probably can’t afford it. But if money is no object, you are welcome to scour through the official details of this lot HERE.
