Mike Tyson’s Ferrari F50 supercar sells for an auction record-breaking price.

The Ferrari F50 that boxing legend Mike Tyson once owned was sold at auction by Gooding and Company for a whopping $4.2 million. This specific F50 was the 73rd of the limited production run of 349 and is one of only 55 still in existence in the US.

Its potent 4.7-liter engine generates 513 horsepower at 8,500 rpm, allowing it to sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds and reach a top speed of 202 mph. At the time Tyson bought the supercar, which had a $650,000 estimated value, he also bought a Ferrari 456 GT Spyder.

The F50 was acquired by Tyson from broker Nadir Amirvand in 1996, and has subsequently had seven additional owners. The car has 6,200 kilometers on the odometer and was recently repaired for $70,000 at a Ferrari dealership in Florida.

The most recent owner of the car is now the seventh person to drive this unusual car. Tyson defeated Bruce Seldon and Frank Bruno to retain his heavyweight title before selling the F50 to Evander Holyfield.

Despite being one of the most well-known boxers in the world, Tyson was also a passionate auto enthusiast who possessed a collection of expensive cars, including numerous Lamborghinis, Bentleys, and Ferraris.

Tyson recently recalled his “favorite arrest,” in which he lost control of one of his Ferraris and smashed it through a convenience store window.

One of the greatest boxers in history, Tyson still holds the record for being the heavyweight champion at the youngest age ever.

Tyson retired following his defeat to Kevin McBride in 2005, although he has since competed in exhibition matches, including a fight against Roy Jones Jr. in 2020. Due to a back problem, he was recently observed at an airport wheeling a wheelchair.
