Mike Tyson was the youngest heavyweight boxing champion of the world and one of those “bad guys” who are difficult to approach, because you never know how he will react. Everything that can be associated with him is collectible, including the 1995 Ferrari F50 from his private collection.

Ferrari introduced the F50 model in 1995, and by 1997 a total of 349 examples were produced, of which 55 were with US specifications. This 1995 Ferrari F50 is excatly one of those 55. It is powered by a 4.7-liter V12 engine with 513 hp (382 kW) @ 8,500 rpm which is enough to push the car to 62 mph in 3.6 seconds with top speed of 202 mph (325 km/h). Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission.

The car is painted in Rosso Corsa color and was bought new by Rick Black, an official Ferrari dealer (Beverly Hills Sports Cars). Since then, it has changed several owners until it was bought by Mike Tyson in 2001. Tyson sold it the same year to Kevin Marcus, co-founder of Infospace, and after that the car was sold to several other owners. In May of this year, $75,000 was invested in the car. The clutch, tires and front suspension lift and air conditioning systems were serviced, and the Alcantara panels and front under-panels were repaired.

The F50 has a carbon body, Brembo ventilated disc brakes, fully independent double-wishbone suspension with pushrod-operated coil-overs, soft top, and only has 5,320 miles (8,561.7 km) on the odometer.

The car comes with a Ferrari Classiche certificate, tools, books, luggage, window sticker, copy of Certificate of Origin, and Marcel Massini Report.
