Seven-time world champion, Michael Schumacher came to own one of the most exclusive garages in Formula 1. Enter and discover which was his most ostentatious model and how much he paid for it.
Since the month of December of the year 2013 Michael Schumacher’s life has been full of conjecture and confusion. After the accident he suffered in the French Alps, the family of the former German champion preferred to stay away from the public eye and hermetically surrounded the health of the seven-time Formula 1 winner.
Before the fateful accident, and with a life full of victories and podiums, Schumacher transferred the same passion that he showed on the track to the streets of any city in the world. The former driver came to have one of the most exclusive and expensive garages in motorsports, and where he made his taste for the models of the team with which he won five consecutive championships known: ferrari.
The most millionaire purchase of the German was a Ferrari Enzo valued at 2.6 million euros: the most expensive car in his luxurious -and extensive- collection. This model was manufactured between 2002 and 2004 and was a tribute to the creator of the Italian brand: Enzo Ferrari. Its production was limited to only 349 units, where one of the first went to Schumacher’s garage.
However, as a result of the great demand for this modelFerrari manufactured 51 more units until reaching 400. The sale price on the market as soon as it left the factory was around 350 thousand euros; however, today they are auctioned for more than 3 million euros. Schumacher’s unit was a special black edition that was customized by the driver himself.
This Ferrari Enzo boasts a 6-liter central-rear V12 gasoline engine capable of developing 660 hp of maximum power at 7,800 rpm, which gives it a guarantee of reaching a maximum speed of 350 kilometers per hour and a minimum waiting time of 3 .2 seconds to mark 100 km/h on the speedometer.
