Toto Wolff, team leader and CEO of the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team, is selling part of his car collection, which curiously includes two Ferraris.
The “boss” of Mercedes-AMG in F1 decided to say goodbye to his 2003 Ferrari Enzo and a LaFerrari Aperta purchased in 2018.
In addition to these two rampant horses, Wolff also put up for sale a 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL 65 AMG Black Series, a model that he himself helped to develop.
These models are for sale on the well-known British website Tom Hartley Jnr and promise to yield several million euros to Wolff, who owns a third of the shares of Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team.
Toto WolffThe motivation that drives me to give up these cars is simple: I don't have time to drive them anymore. And I don't think it would be nice to see me around driving a Ferrari, even though it's a fantastic brand.
Wolff also explains that "he hasn't driven for a long time" and that he decided "to switch to the electric models produced by Mercedes-Benz". And in fact the low mileage of cars confirms this.
THE Ferrari Enzo , for example, "has run" only 350 km since it was purchased. already the Ferrari LaFerrari Squeeze — of which only 210 were produced — totals 2400 km covered.

The model that walked the most is the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series , which reads 5156 km on the odometer. Exclusive to just 350 copies, this model was originally sold to Wolff, who participated — as a pilot — in the model development test program at the Nürburgring.

This is also why it is curious that Wolff is getting rid of it, as it continues to be one of the most notable German cars of recent years: it equips a 6.0-litre twin-turbo V12 engine that produces 670 hp, accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.8s and reaches 320 km/h of top speed.
The company responsible for the sale does not specify the price you are asking for each of these models.
