Drivers like Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg or even Fernando Alonso have garages valued at millions of euros, but at the other extreme we find a young Carlos Sainz who, despite his successful sporting career, was still faithful to the Volkswagen Golf that gave him his parents gave him when he turned 18. The driver from Madrid had not bought a car until now, something he was willing to remedy and he has done it in style.

As Sainz explains, the choice of the 812 Competizione is given for two clear reasons, firstly for its characteristic design, and secondly for the use of an atmospheric V12, quite a rare bird on the market and which unfortunately has an expiration date now that the future can only be imagined electric. With 6.5 liters and a turning ceiling of 9,500 rpm, the Ferrari 812 Competizione declares 830 CV of maximum poweris able to do 0-100 km/h in 2.85 seconds and its top speed is 340 km/h.
