Some people get a watch, a trip, or a dinner at a restaurant for their birthday. David Lee, on the other hand, has just received the keys to a Ferrari 1,050 HP! And not just any car: a brand-new one Ferrari 849 Testarossa The Assetto Fiorano, delivered directly to California. A timely arrival for this famous American collector, whose garage is already estimated at nearly $200 million. And as always with him, the color is anything but a coincidence.
A Ferrari delivered on his birthday
David Lee shared the good news on his Instagram account, along with several photos showing his new purchase being unloaded from a closed transport truck before making its way to his impressive garage. «Thanks to Ferrari Westlake for my birthday gift! My new 849 Testarossa Assetto Fiorano has arrived. Ferrari once again timed the delivery perfectly—right on my birthday,» he wrote enthusiastically.
But the collector adds one particularly interesting detail: He claims that this is the first customer model of the Ferrari 849 Testarossa Assetto Fiorano delivered to the United States. Yet another exclusive treat for those who already own some of the world’s most sought-after Ferraris. The photos reveal a particularly sporty configuration, featuring a red body, a black roof, numerous carbon-fiber parts, and a massive rear wing. This Ferrari certainly doesn’t go unnoticed!
A new 1,050 HP «Ketchup» Ferrari
To understand why this new acquisition is special, you need to know how David Lee organizes his collection. As As we explained in a previous article, the Californian billionaire likes to categorize his Ferraris by color: the red ones make up his «ketchup» collection, the yellow ones his «mustard» collection, while the green ones are nicknamed «vegetables.».
With this red 849 Testarossa, another member of the «ketchup» family is joining his garage. And what a member! Unveiled in 2025 to replace the SF90 Stradale, the Ferrari 849 Testarossa combines a twin-turbo V8 with three electric motors to produce 1050 hp. That’s enough to go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.3 seconds and reach 330 km/h. David Lee’s car also features the Assetto Fiorano package, which focuses on weight reduction and aerodynamic efficiency. This is a particularly appealing configuration for a car that already starts at $530,000 in the United States, before options.
Yet another gift in a $200 million collection
This release comes as David Lee's collection has recently reached a new milestone. In January 2026, he made headlines when he by purchasing a white Ferrari 250 GTO for $38.5 million. Between his 288 GTOs, F40s, F50s, Enzos, LaFerraris, and numerous modern Ferraris, his garage is now estimated to be worth nearly $200 million. He even employs a full-time Ferrari mechanic to maintain his cars.
In the latest photos, the new 849 Testarossa is already pictured alongside other Ferraris, including several yellow models from his «mustard» collection. Now one question remains: after this new «ketchup» model, will David Lee also order a yellow 849 Testarossa to complete the pair? Coming from him, that wouldn’t really be a surprise.
