Mike Tyson’s Ferrari Keeps Breaking Records!

Comment
Ferrari F50 Mike Tyson

Thirty years after leaving the factory, a Ferrari F50 continues to break records… specifically the one that belonged to Mike Tyson.

Up for sale by RM Sotheby’s during Monterey Car Week, on August 15, this Ferrari is now valued between 7 and 9 million dollars, an amount that alone illustrates the skyrocketing value of the most iconic Ferraris.

This F50 includes all the ingredients sought by collectors. Produced in only 349 units, of which 55 were intended for the American market, it rolled out of the Maranello workshops in 1995 before being delivered to heavyweight champion Mike Tyson, who was at the height of his fame. This specific unit also shows less than 10,000 kilometers, retains its original engine and gearbox (“matching numbers”), and benefits from Ferrari Classiche certification.

The market is booming

But it is especially its value evolution that impresses. At an RM Sotheby’s auction in 2017, this same F50 changed hands for 2.64 million dollars. Five years later, in 2022, it already reached 4.625 million dollars at Gooding & Company in Pebble Beach. Over the span of nine years, its maximum estimate has thus risen from 2.64 to 9 million dollars, representing an increase of over 240%. Even considering the lower end of the current estimate (7 million), the increase still exceeds 165%.

This surge reflects the explosion in the market for the so-called “Big Five” Ferraris – 288 GTO, F40, F50, Enzo, and LaFerrari – whose prices continue to climb. The allure of Mike Tyson, combined with a flawless history, low mileage, and a completely original presentation, make this F50 one of the absolute stars of the Monterey auctions.
