Any car with a prestigious pedigree will usually sell for more in the specialist market than a car owned by the average person. The bigger the celebrity, the higher the price tag, that’s the only rule that applies to memorabilia and other collectibles. This powder blue Ferrari 812 Superfast may be an exception.

This powder blue Ferrari 812 Superfast has deep celebrity pedigree and, as of this writing, a very low price. Apparently, the headline of the story goes like this: This car was in an accident and wasn’t even minimally repaired before the listing went live.
In early December, beloved actor Michael B. Jordan creed Franchise and Box Office Results black pantherWhile driving this 2021 Ferrari, he was involved in a two-car collision on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles. His Ferrari and another car, a blue Kia Niro, suffered serious damage, but no one was injured.
Weeks later, a video emerged apparently showing Jordan racing his 812 Superfast against a red 488 before he lost control of the car and crashed with the passenger side into a parked Kia. Because the Ferrari was traveling so fast, the impact was strong enough to tear the wheels apart and scatter debris on the road. There was no word on whether the driver of the other Ferrari appeared in the investigation.

Meanwhile, the police have decided not to take action against the actor, who has remained silent about the accident and what caused it. But the once mighty 812 Superfast (Jordan bought it new a few years ago and has been using it as his daily car) has been sold to an insurance company, which is now looking to make money from the association.
Crashed Ferrari sold as-is on specialist auction site. That means you’re getting a three-wheeled 812 Superfast with significant damage to the passenger side and undercarriage, and a pre-accident valuation of $567,001. The listing makes no mention of whether the car starts or runs.
The pre-bidding period will end on February 8, followed by a private auction. Pre-bidding is currently at $107,000, with no reserve required.
Jordan is a Ferrari enthusiast, and not just because he once owned the beautiful car, with its dazzling powder-blue exterior and crimson interior. In August 2023, I completed the Corso Pilota program with Ferrari in a 296 GTB.
Given that he crashed an 812 Superfast while driving in a straight line, the video he posted on social media celebrating the achievement isn’t that old.
