Check Out Max Verstappen's Cars Off The Track!

You would think that a Formula 1 driver would be obsessed with cars, right? But is that the same for Max Verstappen? We know he is obsessed with speed on the track, but does that mirror what he drives on the road?

There are no surprises here. Just like every other horsepower-hungry racing driver, Verstappen’s car collection is impressive. He takes his car collection internationally --- from Italy to the UK to Germany.

Not only is he driving the world’s fastest cars around the track, but he actually gets to drive the world’s fastest cars around the streets of Monaco as well. Good practice for the race!

Check out our video on the F1 champ right here! 👇

 

Who is Max Verstappen?

If you aren’t familiar by now, Max Verstappen is an F1 driver who has seen great success in the past couple of years. For F1 enthusiasts, it probably feels like he has been around for years now, but he is still only 24!

He burst onto the scene as Formula 1’s youngest-ever competitor at just 17 years old, and ever since, he has been pushing the limits of the sport, including a championship win in 2021. Verstappen has broken every record there is; 

  • F1’s youngest point scorer
  • First Dutch champion
  • Youngest driver to start a Grand Prix
  • The youngest winner in F1 history

This guy has really taken the F1 scene by storm! 

Max Verstappen's Car Collection

Red Bull rewards Max heavily, not only money-wise, but with the number of connections they have with car companies like Aston Martin. So, if the $53.3 million per year contract he has with Red Bull wasn’t enough to land him a nice car, there are always free Aston Martins!

He has mentioned in interviews before that he is quite shy and doesn’t like to be seen in public, but we can tell you that these cars tell a very different story. Any car lover would seriously be envious! Here are some of the cars in his collection.

Ferrari Monza SP2

Although Red Bull uses Honda-powered engines, that didn't stop Max from buying a competitor's car off the track. The convertible comes with a decent price tag of £1.32 million, and it is worth every penny.

The V12 engine produces 810 hp with a top speed that exceeds 300 km/h! Pretty insane, right? Well, you might not be able to get your hands on one yet, unfortunately.

The Monza is all part of a new concept called ‘Icon,’ which only allows clients and collectors a chance to snap one up. It's probably the reason why the SP2 is so popular among celebrities, including Gordon Ramsey and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Renault RS 01

You are probably seeing a theme here. These cars are all very similar to what he drives on the weekends when he's racing.

Max's cars are very fast, very expensive and very nice to look at. The Renault is no different, again reaching speeds upward of 300km/h.

It might not be the most expensive car on the list, but it was certainly love at first sight for Max and the Renault, as he got a chance to take the car for a drive at a Renault event in 2015, where he then decided to add it to his personal collection shortly after.

Aston Martin Vantage

This Aston Martin has a 310 km/h (195mph) top speed. The Vantage truly is a driver’s car. As with the majority of Aston Martins, you get the high-quality engineering, as well as that 007 James Bond feeling that comes with driving one.

The Aston Martin Vantage really does combine sporting agility with comfort and poise. Coming in at an impressive 1,530 kg, you can tell why Max loves this car so much. It probably reminds him how it feels being behind the cockpit inside that Red Bull Racing machine.

And if we are all being honest here, impressive numbers are great, but who doesn’t want to feel like James Bond when they are driving? We will have ours shaken, not stirred. 🍸

Aston Martin DB11

The partnership between Red Bull and Aston Martin really was a win-win situation for all parties. It brought Aston Martin back into the limelight of motor sports, raising the brand's profile, and Max Verstappen got his hands on the DB11.

The DB11 is the most powerful and efficient ‘DB’ model in the history of production, and what better person to gift it to than the current F1 World Champion?

The V8 produces 528 brake horsepower with an impressive 4 seconds flat 0-62 mph.

Porsche 911 GT3 RS

Would it be a sports star's episode without a Porsche? And following the pattern of the rest of Verstappen’s cars, it has to be V8 and above, and it has to be quick.

The Porsche does not let us down here. 0-62 mph in 3.4 seconds means it is one of the fastest cars on Max’s roster, and with a 198 mph top speed, it certainly ticks the quick checkmark.

The GT3 concept was to intensify everything. Performance, tuning and aerodynamics have all been ramped up here and put in the hands of arguably the fastest man on the planet when it comes to driving, it's surely a fun ride with this combination!

The Porsche could be yours for a cool £130,000, but we imagine the GT3 RS that Verstappen owns could be anywhere at least upwards of £150,000.

Takeaway

Max Verstappen has an amazing future in the F1 and has already clocked up some pretty astonishing records in the competition. We all knew that being an F1 driver, his car collection off the track was going to be super impressive as well, and it didn’t disappoint.

From the Ferrari to the Aston Martin to the cars we couldn’t include in today’s blog post, hats off to you Mr. Verstappen! We are very impressed.
