This Huge Ferrari Collection Will Amaze You
For most people, seeing a Ferrari drive down the road is a special event, but this huge collection owned by David Lee would boggle their minds. The man is a prolific collector of rides from Maranello, but usually we only get to see a few of his rides at a time. However, he's given a full, in-depth tour of everything he owns and it's amazing.The man owns Ferraris ranging from model years 1964 to 2024. His collection contains rides from seven different decades, showing you quite a bit of history from the brand and showcasing the evolution of its designs and technologies.
Lee starts out the tour with his Big Five cars, which he owns in both red and yellow, calling them 'ketchup and mustard.' These are, of course, the Ferrari 288 GTO, F40, F50, Enzo, and LaFerrari Aperta. Those alone are impressive, but that's just the beginning.
After that, Lee shows off even more of a rarity: Michael Schumacher's F2002 Formula one race car. That's right, it's the car Schumacher piloted to a World Championship and is something you won't see just anywhere.
As Lee explains, you have to prove your worthiness to Ferrari to gain access to different cars, in particular the limited edition models. We already are well aware of that, but it constantly amazes us how many people are utterly clueless about how selective the automaker is.
The man says when you work up to a certain level, Ferrari will offer to sell old F1 cars to you as a customer. We can imagine those don't come cheap and the sales contract probably has a lot of stipulations included, because you're becoming a caretaker for part of Scuderia Ferrari's storied past.
Therea are many other impressive rides showcased in this collection tour, so check out the video and enjoy.

Lewis Hamilton's Document to Ferrari on 2026 Car Revealed
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. The Scuderia Ferrari Formula One team has received car-specific preferences from Lewis Hamilton for the 2026 season, when the sport enters a new era of regulations. The seven-time world champion prefers his car's steering and brake pedals to be suited to his driving style, and with Ferrari developing the 2026 challenger, this is the best time to explore those changes. Hamilton has been experiencing a difficult Ferrari debut season as he continues to struggle with his current SF-25 car. One reason for his challenges could be a long 12-year stint with Mercedes, where the car was suited to his requirements, and being with the same team for multiple seasons meant those changes were carried forward. But switching teams meant he received a car that's very different compared to what he was used to. Just 10 rounds remain for the 2025 season to conclude, and Hamilton is yet to finish on the podium, while his teammate Charles Leclerc has finished in the top three positions five times thus far. Hamilton recently admitted that he had been sending documents to his team, suggesting ways Ferrari could improve the current SF-25, but focusing more on how he wants his 2026 car to be built and set up. Italian publication has reported his preferences, beginning with the pedalboard. Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain and Ferrari talks to his engineers in the garage during day two of F1 Testing at Bahrain International Circuit on February 27, 2025 in Bahrain, Bahrain. Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain and Ferrari talks to his engineers in the garage during day two of F1 Testing at Bahrain International Circuit on February 27, 2025 in Bahrain, 40-year-old driver's position in the cockpit is crucial for the way he interacts with the controls, especially the pedalboard. On top of this, the Ferrari power unit has a stronger engine braking response than what Hamilton experienced with Mercedes. But with the possibility of limited tweaks on the SF-25, Hamilton has asked for a revision on the 2026 car. Another area that Hamilton intends to modify on the 2026 car is the steering. The new pull-rod suspension on the SF-25 made it sharper in corners, but it gave rise to the problem of understeer. Hamilton's car receives more front-end load in its setup to counter the challenge, but that still hasn't remedied the situation. Thus, he intends to run the car with a mix of different setups. However, the new configurations, involving "bars, shock absorbers with certain stiffnesses and wing" adjustments, work against the SF-25's balance, an area that Ferrari could improve next year. Lastly, the new Ferrari driver also prefers more rear-end stability that complements the front of his car, while Leclerc prefers a consistent front-to-back setup on his car. While the data Ferrari receives from both drivers could be contrasting, given the differences in setups on multiple race weekends, it remains to be seen to what extent Ferrari will go to ensure it offers Hamilton the tools he needs on the 2026 car.

Prancing God: Ferrari's New F80 Hybrid Is the Best Car I've Ever Driven
Like a brilliant comet, a true supercar from Maranello—such as the new Ferrari F80—appears very rarely, but when it does, the automotive world can't look away. The luminous F40 debuted in 1987, followed by the F50 in 1995, the otherworldly Enzo in 2002, the eponymous LaFerrari in 2013, and now, arriving in early 2026, the inimitable F80. To call this 1,184 hp street-legal Prancing Horse magnificent feels like an understatement. In two decades of professional driving, I've never piloted anything so sublimely capable of devouring pavement; it borders on menacing. That's no surprise, given that it unleashes more power than any road-going Ferrari to leave the factory in history and distills everything the marque has learned in nearly 80 years. The proof, as always, is how it feels on the road—as if every insight and innovation is seamlessly deployed. More from Robb Report How Pier Luigi Loro Piana Turned a Love of Sports Into a Luxury Fashion Titan Troubled Waters: Inside the Fight for Barbuda's White-Sand Paradise Want to Taste the World's Best Wines? This Singapore Hotel Stocks Them All. Developed alongside Ferrari's endurance-focused 499P—which makes 670 hp and recently won its third consecutive 24 Hours of Le Mans—the F80 required a few more years of R&D. As the automaker points out, it's easier to build a car for motorsport than for the market. Like the 499P and the 296 GTB, the F80 carries a compact 3.0-liter 120-degree V-6. But unlike the others—or any production car apart from the Porsche 911 GTS—it uses energy derived from the battery to power two massive electric turbochargers spinning at 160,000 rpm. Supplementing the engine's 888 hp are three electric motors—one located on the left cylinder bank and two at the front axle. Straight-line performance is staggering: zero to 125 mph in a claimed 5.3 seconds, and zero to 60 in a mere 2.0. Launch control is a wild ride, equal parts fun and brutal, as all that boost sends the V-6 screaming. Driving the F80 quickly and efficiently means tracking the shift lights atop the steering wheel: After seven red lights, two final blue flash near the 9,000 rpm mark—your cue to pull the upshift paddle. Miss it and you'll bump into the rev limiter at 9,200 rpm. After taking five handwritten pages of notes on the aerodynamics, I feel confident saying that aside from the Aston Martin Valkyrie, nothing harnesses the wind like this Ferrari. It produces 1,014 pounds of downforce on the front axle and 1,300 on the rear at 155 mph—a speed I approached repeatedly while lapping Italy's 2.62-mile Misano circuit. To ensure that the F80's aero performance stays consistent, four 48-volt active dampers complete a cycle every 25 milliseconds to maintain ride height and prevent body roll. It may sound strange that the car doesn't lean or compress, but when cornering at these velocities, even slight changes in downforce would be disruptive. Plenty of modern hypercars are absurdly quick, but few offer this level of control: It invites, even demands, that you attack a road or a circuit with total confidence—and attack is the right word. I've driven the Valkyrie, which struggles with low-speed stability, and Rhys Millen's 2021 Bentley GT3 Pikes Peak car, which shares similar aerodynamics but lacks the same power. Both require aggression, but the F80 is in another league. Simply put, it's safe to say that it drives better than anything I've ever experienced. The only disconcerting thought: I may never drive it again. And unless you're already among Ferrari's most favored few, you likely won't either—all 799 examples have been presold starting at $3.73 million apiece.

Florida Man Trades Ferrari F40 for Ineos Grenadier and $2.4M
The latest car news, reviews, and features. While I've never been to one, I can imagine that a salesperson at an Ineos showroom isn't the busiest salesperson in the world. As a result, the sales rep who recently took in a Ferrari F40 on trade for an Ineos Grenadier probably saw the iconic supercar approaching from a mile away. I wonder what went through their mind as the F40 got closer to the lot—did they think it was a prank? It wasn't. Florida Man was out doing Florida Man things, and on that specific day, that meant trading in one of the most coveted supercars ever built for a niche British off-roader. Oh, and a check for $2.4 million. According to Newsweek , when the salesperson approached their manager with the deal, he was told, 'You've got to get it and get out of it. So, he wrote a check for $2.4 million,' George Ratcliffe, president of the Americas at Ineos Automotive, told the outlet. The customer will allegedly use their new Grenadier on their farm, but the report did not elaborate on the F40's provenance. How did this person acquire said supercar? Was it a collector who just grew sick of the F40? Or maybe they inherited it and wanted nothing to do with its upkeep? Also, why the hurry? There's a good chance they could've made more money selling it privately or at auction, but then again, that would've been a more complex and longer ordeal. It all seems rather odd. I bet you there's a good story there, one that I hope to surface one day. Either way, the dealership reportedly turned around and sold the car the next day for $2.5 million. So, I guess everyone went home happy. Got a tip? Email us at tips@
