Man Trades Rare Ferrari for Ineos Station Wagon and $2.4 Million Cash
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. A car dealer in Texas recently accepted an unprecedented trade-in: A customer walked through the doors of an Ineos dealer looking to trade in their Ferrari F40 for a new station wagon and some cash. The customer got what they came for, walking out of the dealership with the keys to a new Ineos Grenadier Station Wagon and $2.4 million cash. The new Grenadier owner will be using the vehicle on his farm. George Ratcliff, president of the Americas at Ineos Automotive, told Newsweek the story, saying that the dealer principal told the salesperson, "You've got to get it and get out of it. So, he wrote a check for $2.4 million." The dealer turned the car around, selling it the next day for $2.5 million. "The F40 is peak analog Ferrari, a world-class supercar that speaks to an entire generation of auto enthusiasts who are now actively acquiring the cars of their dreams. Even though it's the most abundant of Ferrari's halo car lineup, it's also arguably the most purposeful, making it one of the rare cars to exceed 1,000 units while also being worth more than $2 million," Brian Rabold, Hagerty's vice president of automotive intelligence, told Newsweek. Front of an Ineos Grenadier Station Wagon. Front of an Ineos Grenadier Station Wagon. Ineos Automotive The Grenadier Station Wagon is powered by a BMW-sourced turbocharged 3.0-liter, six-cylinder engine matched with an eight-speed automatic transmission, differential locks in the front, center and rear and a two-speed transfer case. Two Ferrari F40s will cross the block this week at RM Sotheby's Monterey Auction as part of Monterey Car Week festivities. Lot 132, a 1990 Ferrari F40, is estimated by the auction house to be worth $2.2-$2.6 million. That car has been owned by just one person since it was purchased, has approximately 224 miles on the odometer and has been in long-term storage. Lot 260 is a 1993 Ferrari F40 LM GTC valued at $8.5-$9.5 million. Just 19 examples of the model were made and this Ferrari is the 14th. It features the most powerful F40 engine available at its time of creation. lists two F40s for public sale in the U.S., one at a Ferrari dealer in Philadelphia ($3.79 million) and one at Specialty Car Collection in West Hollywood, California ($2.3 million). "Before investing in a collectible car, it is important for a family to have sufficient cash flow or available income sources to sustain their everyday lifestyle for a minimum of three to five years without having to liquidate the car in haste —often at a discount — to cover living expenses," Aaron Thiel, a senior wealth strategist at Truist Wealth, told Newsweek. "The longer the investor can keep the car before selling, the better the opportunity for an investor to fully realize the car's appreciation potential over the long run. But this longer time frame must be balanced with the added costs of climate-controlled storage, specialty insurance, restorative needs, and routine maintenance, all of which will certainly impact the investor's overall return on investment. In addition, given the market volatility of collectibles due to changing tastes, illiquidity, and shifting economic trends, it is common for families to cap their investment into collectibles at 5–8% of their overall net worth. These families are also keen on diversification and would rather spread their risk by owning several collectible cars across various eras and categories rather than putting all their eggs into just one car," he said.

Driver faces up to $110,000 in fines for speeding
GENEVA -- The driver was clocked going 27 kilometers per hour (17 mph) over the speed limit on a street in the Swiss city of Lausanne, and now he's facing up to 90,000 Swiss francs (over $110,000) in fines as a result. But he can afford it. Why the eye-popping penalty? Because the speedster, a repeat offender, is one of Switzerland's wealthiest people, and the Vaud canton, or region, serves up fines based on factors like income, fortune or general family financial situation. The Swiss are not alone. Germany, France, Austria and the Nordic countries all issue punishments based on a person's wealth. The recent fine isn't even a record in Switzerland. In 2010, a millionaire Ferrari driver got a ticket equal to about $290,000 for speeding in the eastern canton of St. Gallen. Back then, the Swiss safety group Road Cross said rich drivers had been lightly punished until voters approved penal law overhaul three years earlier that let judges hand down fines based on personal income and wealth for misdemeanors like speeding and drunk driving. Under today's rules, an indigent person might spend a night in jail instead of a fine, while the wealthiest in the rich Alpine country could be on the hook for tens of thousands. A court in the Swiss canton of Vaud recently ruled that the tycoon must pay 10,000 Swiss francs ($12,300) up front and could be forced to pay the rest — 80,000 more — if he's caught for a similar roadway infraction over the next three years. Switzerland's '24 Heures' newspaper first reported the case and said the man, who was not identified, was a French citizen listed by Swiss economic weekly Bilan among the 300 richest people in Switzerland — with a fortune in the hundreds of millions of dollars. The daily reported that an automated police radar photographed the offender driving at 77 kilometers per hour (48 mph) in a 50 kph (31 mph) zone on a Lausanne street. A quick-calculating prosecutor tallied the maximum fine the driver faced under the law, the report said. Vincent Derouand, a spokesperson for the Vaud public prosecutors office, said the defendant didn't contest the decision, which was handed down in June for the infraction nearly a year ago — in August 2024. The Vaud criminal code sets a maximum financial penalty based on the "personal and economic situation of the offender at the time of the ruling' — notably taking into account issues like income, fortune, lifestyle and family financial needs. The newspaper reported that he had already been caught for a similar speeding infraction eight years ago, and also paid 10,000 Swiss francs in penalty and faced another 60,000 if another infraction had taken place within the following two years. In Switzerland, penalties for speeding can even catch up with the cops: One officer was fined for racing at nearly twice the speed limit through Geneva streets back in 2016 while chasing thieves who had blown up a bank teller machine.
