Ferrari F40 parked on a yacht

The Ferrari F40 is the legend of the Maranello-based company and the unfulfilled dream of many. Only 1,311 copies of this model were produced, and one copy was positioned on a yacht owned by the Altr company during the race for the Monaco Grand Prix. The video of putting the Ferrari F40 on the yacht was published on the official Instagram profile of Altr.trade.

This is not the first time that something like this could be seen, because a few weeks ago billionaire Adrian Portelli lifted his McLaren Senna GTR car with a crane into a new penthouse in Melbourne, Australia. The racing car found its home on the 57th floor of the Sapphire by the Gardens tower.

Altr is an online store that enables the purchase of items using cryptocurrencies. According to the description on the official website, Altr is “a gateway to the world of luxury collectibles, offering collectors an easy way to purchase rare collectibles.” Also, it is possible to digitize the collection and create NFT.

Altr, in cooperation with the Italian dealer Car & Car, which sells high-end cars, placed the F40 on a yacht. According to some information, this F40 could be offered on Altr’s website.
