Michael Schumacher’s Ferrari F2001 sold for 15.98 million euros

Leave a comment

A few days ago, a Ferrari F2001 owned by Michael Schumacher was sold at auction for 15,980,000 euros. It is one of the most expensive F1 cars ever sold at auction, and the entire amount was paid to the Keep Fighting Foundation, which continues the charitable work of the seven-time F1 champion.

This car from the 2001 season achieved outstanding results with drivers Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello. Thanks to them, at the end of the season Ferrari was the constructors’ champion with 179 points, 77 more than McLaren-Mercedes, and Schumacher became the drivers’ champion with 123 points.

“Just winning the Monaco Grand Prix would make this car very significant, but the fact that it was driven in a season that saw the drivers’ and constructors’ titles, the first ever tied in Ferrari’s history, takes it to a whole new level. We are excited that chassis 211 is once again at the site of a historic victory, and it is a privilege to be selling the car during the Monaco race weekend,” said Augustin Sabatie-Garat, sales director at RM Sotheby’s.

Also, what makes this F1 car stand out from the rest is that this Ferrari F2001 is the only car in which a German driver has won both the Monaco Grand Prix and the drivers’ title, as well as the last car to win Monaco in the same year as he won the title.

The F2001 is powered by a 3.0-litre V10 engine that develops 825 hp. It should also be noted that the most expensive Ferrari ever sold was the one driven by the legendary Michael Schumacher.

Mansory Pugnator Tricolore Limited Edition

In September 2024, Mansory unveiled the Mansory Pugnator based on the Ferrari Purosangue, which received a lot of criticism from fans of the Italian brand. Now, from the workshop of the German tuning company comes the second version and one of the most interesting conversions ever, the Mansory Pugnator Tricolore. It will be produced in only 3 units.

The car is finished in the colors of the Italian flag and bears the number 03 on both sides with the inscription “Tricolore Edition”. It is equipped with a forged carbon fiber bodykit, which includes larger intakes on the front bumper that significantly increase downforce on the front axle, wheel arch extensions, fender vents, massive side grilles and fake rear door intakes. At the rear, there is a massive diffuser with four exhaust pipes, a rear grille and a double rear spoiler. There are also plenty of fins, creases and air intakes, giving the Pugnator a more aggressive look.

The luxurious cabin is made of premium materials and features a white color scheme combined with red and green accents on the seats, floor mats, doors, armrests, center console and dashboard. The seat backs feature a plaque with the words “Mansory Atelier” while the headrests feature an embroidered company name. A numbered plaque on the dashboard completes the car’s uniqueness.

Under the bonnet is a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine with 766 hp (560 kW) and 530 lb-ft (716 Nm) of torque. That’s significantly more power compared to the Purosangue, which has 715 hp (526 kW) and 528 lb-ft (716 Nm) of torque. The car sits on new 22″ and 23″ FC.5 one-piece forged wheels wrapped in high-performance tires.

The price of this limited edition car is not known.
