Kimi puts a high price on unique Ferrari supercar

40

As the last man to deliver a drivers' title to Ferrari, Kimi Raikkonen retains a historic link with the House of Maranello.

And the Iceman's place in the Scuderia's legacy will boost in value anything owned or associated with the 2007 F1 world champion.

Case in point: a 2016 Ferrari F12tdf owned by the Finn has hit the market in Switzerland and is available to any well-heeled Kimi fan for a whopping $2.4 million!

The V12-powered 770 bhp supercar, of which only 799 were made, was sold at around $620,000 upon its introduction, but Raikkonen's example sports a few custom add-ons that have appreciated its value along with the car's rarity and its prestigious ownership.

Bwoah… it's just a car!

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
