According to Carscoops, the Ferrari F430 once owned by President-elect Donald Trump is set to go under the hammer. Details about the seller have not been disclosed, but the timing of the auction, close to Donald Trump’s inauguration, is likely more than a coincidence.
Last year, Trump’s former Diablo VT Roadster was successfully auctioned off for $1.1 million, double the average transaction price for the car at the time.
While the Ferrari F430 may not be as iconic as the Diablo, it is still one of the best-supercars Italy has to offer, with its naturally aspirated V8 engine. According to Carscoops, the Ferrari F430 that once belonged to Donald Trump has only clocked 15,119 kilometers.

This supercar is finished in Rosso Corsa and protected by a coating. It has been meticulously maintained and comes with a host of original Ferrari accessories, including a car cover, seat cover, and bag.
The cabin features a combination of black and tan leather with some glossy carbon fiber details and a special plaque bearing the inscription “DJT-NYC.”
This Ferrari F430 has also been displayed at several automotive events held at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. The supercar is currently being sold with its original paperwork, issued to owner Donald Trump in July 2007.

This unique car is being auctioned on the Rockstar Car Auction website. According to Carscoops, a search on Autotrader reveals around 100 Ferrari F430s for sale with under 10,000 miles on the clock, priced between $130,000 and $160,000.
The Ferrari F430 in question, however, is expected to fetch a higher price due to its previous ownership by Donald Trump.
