Ferrari F300 F1
This is the Formula 1 car that one of the most popular drivers of all time, Michael Schumacher, raced with. To this day, it is still referred to as Ferrari’s most successful monoposto of all time.
The new rules forced the designers to work on the overall aerodynamics of the body, the exhaust system, the intake system, the chassis parts, the brakes. The model on display has commonly used tires – slicks. Its powering was taken care of by a three-liter ten-cylinder engine, which achieved a power of up to a huge 800 horsepower. It was capable of cranking out more than 17,500 rpm and getting the car to a top speed of over 340 km/h. For the time, these were truly exceptional parameters
According to experts, the price of Schumacher’s F300 monoposto from 1998 could reach 6-8 million euros. However, this is only a rough estimate. It should not be forgotten that in 2017 there was an auction of a Ferrari F2001, also one of Michael Schumacher’s F1 race cars, and the final sum surpassed all expectations. The auction company’s original estimate was 4-5.5 million dollars, but the Ferrari F2001 sold for more than 7.5 million dollars.
