Lewis Hamilton’s McLaren MP4-12C, a car infused with his F1 expertise, is up for grabs! The iconic red supercar, a symbol of Hamilton’s racing legacy, is hitting the auction block for a chance at a new home.
Before his Mercedes reign, Hamilton’s journey to Formula 1 stardom began at McLaren. Not only did he secure his first world championship with the team, but he also played a pivotal role in refining McLaren’s road cars. The MP4-12C, a masterpiece born from F1 engineering, saw Hamilton’s fingerprints all over it, from steering input adjustments to fine-tuning the paddle shifters.
Hamilton’s dedication to perfection didn’t go unnoticed, as McLaren rewarded him with one of the earliest production models of the MP4-12C. This vibrant red beauty, equipped with a powerful 592hp twin-turbocharged V8 engine, became a prized possession in Hamilton’s collection, clocking nearly 5,000 miles over 12 years.
Now, this piece of automotive history is seeking a new owner. The McLaren MP4-12C, once treasured by Hamilton, will go under the hammer at the prestigious Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este auction next month. With an estimated price tag of up to £190,000, the chance to own a car intertwined with Hamilton’s legacy is a rare opportunity for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
But that’s not all – Jenson Button’s own MP4-12C, finished in a sleek white exterior, will also be up for auction alongside Hamilton’s. With a projected price of around £125,000, this event promises a showcase of McLaren’s racing heritage in the form of these exquisite supercars.
