A Ferrari F430 that was once owned by the current president of the United States, Donald Trump, is heading to auction early next year.
The F430 in question, finished in Corsa Red, was purchased by Trump in May 2007, and delivered to Trump Tower in New York City.
It has covered a touch over 15,000km in its lifetime, but comes with all paperwork, including the “red book” which details the build process.
Like the majority of F430s, this one was optioned with the six-speed ‘F1’ automatic transmission, which is a robotised single-clutch unit, operated through paddles.
It’s paired with a 4.3-litre aluminum block V8 engine that makes 360kW and 465Nm of torque. It can also rev out to 8500rpm.
On the inside, the interior is finished in beige leather, with electronically operated seats. It also wears a numbered plaque with the ‘DJT’ initials on it.
Set to be sold by Mecum, this F430 is part of the auction that will take place on January 16, 2026.
If you are interested in this lot, Mecum has predicted that it will sell between $1.3 and $1.73 million when the hammer drops.
