When you spend your days racing for Ferrari, it is only natural to have a soft spot for the Prancing Horse cars. Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc takes that loyalty rather seriously. Leclerc has built an impressive personal garage filled with some of Ferrari's most desirable road cars. Charles Leclerc's car collection spans the limited-edition Ferrari Daytona SP3 and open-top Ferrari 488 Pista Spider to the powerful SF90 XX Stradale, V12-powered 812 Competizione Aperta and four-door Purosangue. But what makes the Charles Leclerc car collection particularly interesting is the personal touch he brings to several of his cars, with Monaco-inspired stripes, matte-black finishes, and his racing number 16. Here is a closer look at the 5 Ferrari cars in his collection including Ferrari Daytona SP3, Ferrari 488, Ferrari SF90, Ferrari 812 Competizione, and Ferrari Purosangue.
Notably Leclerc was in the news recently for harming his team-mate Lewis Hamilton's chances of winning the US F1 race, which was eventually won by Max Verstappen. Of course, Kimi Antonelli became the youngest F1 world champion by coming in 3rd.
The Ferrari Daytona SP3 is one of the standout cars in Leclerc's garage. It is a limited-edition Icona model - just 599 cars made. His car wears a matte-black finish with red detailing, the red and white colours of Monaco's flag and his racing number, 16. Under the sculpted bodywork sits a naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 producing 829hp. Leclerc has described the Daytona SP3 as one of his favourite Ferrari cars.
The Ferrari 488 Pista Spider brings open-top thrills to the collection. Its 3.9-litre twin-turbocharged V8 produces 720cv, while the lightweight, track-focused engineering makes it considerably more than a great-looking convertible. Ferrari 488 Pista Spider has received custom treatment too, with a dark finish, Monaco-inspired stripes and the number 16.
The Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale is the first road-legal Ferrari to carry the XX badge. It takes the hybrid SF90 platform into more extreme territory. Its 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 works with three electric motors to produce a combined 1,030cv. Leclerc's personalised Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale features matte black paint, red accents and his signature racing number.
A naturally aspirated V12 and an open roof make the Ferrari 812 Competizione Aperta a rather special addition. Limited to just 599 examples, this convertible version of the 812 Competizione produces 830cv from its 6.5-litre V12. This Ferrari is finished in white with black detailing and his number 16, giving it a different look from the darker cars in his garage.
This may not be a track-focused supercar, but it nevertheless packs a lot of power. The Ferrari Purosangue brings four doors and four seats to Leclerc's otherwise performance-heavy collection. This example is finished in silver and packs a naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 producing 725cv. With a top speed of more than 310 km/h, it is hardly your average family car.
From a limited-edition V12 supercar to a four-door, Leclerc's collection of Ferrari cars reflects his relationship with the marque beyond the Formula 1 circuit. And he has made this Ferrari collection his own with the number 16 and Monaco colours emblazoned boldly on several cars.
