Football superstar Lionel Messi has been a long-time fan of Ferrari, and it seems he’s finally made his dream come true: the Argentinian maestro has acquired a rare Ferrari 335 S Spider Scaglietti.
The rare Ferrari was first unveiled at the 1957 Mille Miglia race in Italy, and only four were ever produced. Messi’s car, in particular, is a 1957 model, and was once driven by racing legend Stirling Moss.
The 335 S Spider Scaglietti is powered by a 4.1-liter V12 engine, which produces an impressive 400 horsepower and is capable of reaching speeds of up to 186 mph. The car also features a number of period-correct features, such as drum brakes, and a four-speed gearbox.
The car is finished in a classic red and white livery, complemented by a black leather interior and chrome accents. The car also features a number of period-correct features, such as a period-correct steering wheel and wooden dashboard trim.
Lionel Messi’s Ferrari 335 S Spider Scaglietti is a true classic, and a testament to the football great’s love for the legendary Italian marque. It is also a reminder of the golden era of motor racing, and a reminder of a time when cars like the 335 S Spider Scaglietti were the pinnacle of automotive performance.
