Michael Schumacher's legendary supercar sold for $7.5 million.

While there is some debate over whether Michael Schumacher is the greatest F1 driver of all time, there is no doubt that the legendary car helped him win the 2001 Monaco Grand Prix.

The car is equipped with a V-10 engine with a capacity of 900 horsepower, allowing the engine to rotate up to 19,000 rpm. Therefore, many experts believe that the buyer of this car can completely rest assured to use it for commuting, instead of just buying it for display.

The selling price of the supercar also exceeded the initial estimate of 4 million to 5.5 million USD.

The Ferrari F2001 is on display in New York ahead of the auction.

The car is being auctioned at Sotheby's, where the price is currently at $6.7 million.

The car was sold at a rather unique auction. It was the Sotheby’s Contemporary Art Auction in New York (USA). In front of the car, dozens of other works of art worth millions of dollars were also sold.

The most valuable work sold at auction was the oil painting "Three Studies of George Dyer", which sold for $38.614 million (including commission). The Ferrari supercar ranked 10th in terms of value sold out of a total of 74 works auctioned.
