Carlos Sainz has kicked off his year with an upgrade, and one that will assuredly turn a few eyes and tickle a few ears.
The Spaniard has traded his trusty nine-year-old Golf GTI – a gift bestowed upon him by his father for his 18th birthday – for a stunning new Ferrari 812 Competizione which the 2022 British Grand Prix winner customized and paid for with his own cash.
Over a year ago, Sainz had shared his visit to the House of Maranello's exclusive Tailor Made service, where he selected and devised a multitude of fine details for his future road-going thoroughbred.
The result is a ravishing and dazzling machine decked out in matte gray, in pure 'Smooth Operator' style.
The limited-run Ferrari 812 Competizione is Sainz's pride and joy, and it is now his to own and cherish.
Forza Carlito!
