Fiat 500Ferrari Daytona SP3
Formula 1 drivers are famous for maintaining garages packed with the most expensive and exotic hypercars on the planet. Scuderia Ferrari’s star driver, Charles Leclerc, is certainly no exception. However, his latest car of choice is turning heads in his hometown for a completely different reason.
Recently spotted driving on the gold-plated streets of Monaco, Leclerc wasn’t behind the wheel of his Ferrari Daytona SP3 or SF90. Instead, the Monegasque was caught on video rolling through traffic in a heavily customized, vintage Fiat 500.
A Matte Black Tribute
The tiny Italian runabout has been given a bespoke, aggressive paintjob (or wrap?) that perfectly matches Leclerc’s SP3.
The vintage Fiat is finished in a stealthy matte black, broken up only by a red and white racing stripe running straight down the center of the car, a nod to both Ferrari’s signature color and the flag of Monaco.
To leave absolutely no doubt about who is sitting in the driver’s seat, the doors proudly wear his official Formula 1 racing number, #16.
