Carlos Sainz has never hidden his attachment to Ferrari. Even after his departure for Williams in 2025, the Spanish driver retains a close link with the Prancing Horse marque... to the point of investing a significant portion of his fortune in it. In a recent interview, he confided that he prefers to invest his money in Ferraris rather than let it sit in a bank account.
"I've got four limited-edition Ferraris, and I've ordered another one. It's better than keeping the money in the bank," he said with a smile.
Prestige Collection
It's hard to know exactly which Ferraris make up Sainz's private collection, but several models have been spotted on social networks: the Ferrari 812 Competizione, the Daytona SP3 and the SF90 XX Spider. Three exceptional creations, all limited editions. He also claims to regularly drive a Ferrari Purosangue (but it's not a limited edition), and has been spotted several times with several different Ferrari Roma. We also know that Scuderia Ferrari offered him his Ferrari F1, which won the 2022 Silverstone Grand Prix. Perhaps this is the 4th limited-edition Ferrari?



Speaking to Italian media outlet Fanpage, Sainz said he had also ordered a fifth Ferrari, without revealing the model. It could be the very exclusive Ferrari F80, the new 1200 hp hybrid model of which only 799 will be produced. A logical choice: the Spaniard had the opportunity to try it out with Charles Leclerc when he was still an official Ferrari driver.

A passionate investment
Beyond his passion, Sainz sees these cars as a form of reasoned investment:
"Money in an account loses value over time, while some cars retain or even increase their value."
A logic shared by many collectors. The most exclusive Ferraris, such as the LaFerrari, the Monza SP2 or the Daytona SP3, have seen their value rise by several hundred thousand euros in just a few years.
But for Sainz, it's not just a question of profitability. He speaks of an emotional attachment to the brand, an automotive heritage he has admired since childhood, nurtured by his father, a two-time world rally champion.
Purosangue for the road, others for investment
Of all his cars, only one runs regularly: the Ferrari Purosangue, the Maranello SUV he uses on a daily basis. The others sleep in his garage, carefully protected, ready to hit the road... or to appreciate in value.

Carlos Sainz isn't the only sportsman to regard Ferraris as a passion investment. Zlatan Ibrahimović, for example, has just added a Ferrari F80 Full Black to its collection already impressive. A philosophy that Sainz sums up perfectly:
"Better a garage full of dreams than a lifeless bank account."
Most Ferraris are good investments.
And Carlos Sainz could return to Ferrari, with Charles Leclerc on the move and Lewis Hamilton soon to retire from F1. The Scuderia is likely to find itself without a driver, and Carlos Sainz wouldn't be a bad option.
Guter Ansatz!
Ich finde Carlos Sainz macht es genau richtig Ferrari zu sammeln, weil sich der Wert immer steigert. Wenn ich das Kapital hätte würde ich aber auch noch seltene andere Marken sammeln wie zb.Porsche und Lamborghini die es nur limitiert gibt. Und jemand der sich so mit Ferrari identifiziert ist immer eine gute Wahl um als Fahrer dort zu arbeiten, zumal er einen guten Ruf als Fahrer hat
Yes indeed, the rarest Ferraris increase in value, but they can also be a good inheritance for your children, who will be able to pass them on in turn if they so wish. Ferraris are like good wine: they improve with age.
If in 30 years the planet will no longer be habitable, it's doubtful that Ferrari, or other "special" cars, will be an investment.
And that's without counting on a more violent phase to come (the rearmament desired by many is not a loss-making investment ..alas!!! ). In short, when you have money to throw out the window, a car or an island or a building... it doesn't matter. I'd rather the "rich" settled for peace than think about their small, theoretically profitable investments.
Congratulations Carlitos, don't call you Carlos, because I am also fan of your dad, the reason I congratulate you is most smart investments, Ferrari, never will down their values, I worked on 4 Countries, 3 of them, rejected my retirement Pension, worst mistake, better you control your treasures, Ferrari's.
