Max Verstappen to Get $60,000 Richer by Bidding His Downtime Toy From His First Championship Winning Season

What if we said you could ride in Max Verstappen’s vehicle? Not that Red Bull one which ruled the track, but rather the one that is closer to him. Sounds intriguing? Yes, Max Verstappen is going to be $60000 richer by bidding on his Downtime toy from his first championship-winning season.

As one of the top Formula 1 drivers, Max Verstappen has now made a name for himself. With the aid of his 15 victories in season 2022, Red Bull finished the year with an astounding 17 victories. The year was among the most successful ones for a driver thus far. That being said, Honda gave the Dutchman a car as a gift, and now the Dutchman’s Honda Civic Type-R GT, which you may have seen him driving around in his free time, is up for auction. In December 2021, CarNext conducted the car’s initial charity auction.

Moving on to the vehicle’s characteristics, the Civic Type-R GT is powered by a turbocharged in-line 4-cylinder engine that produces 324 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. For those who enjoy speed, this automobile can reach 169 mph and the 0 to 60 mph figures come in 5.8 seconds. Max Verstappen signed the Civic Type-R GT on the dashboard and on the vehicle’s back. The proceeds of this auction will go to the “Wings for Life” organization.

The odometer reads 36,350 miles. Although no price range has been established, Catwiki predicts that it will cost between $52600 and $63100. The current bid is $18,000, and the bidding will continue through December 20th.

The only remedy for someone whose veins are bursting with aggression and energy is rapid speed. With that being said, Let’s take a look at the million dollars toys inside the Dutchman’s garage.

Max Verstappen’s cars collection

Every car enthusiast’s ultimate garage filled with their favourite vehicles is a dream come true. And the Dutchman seem to have achieved quite a few. The Dutchman is a little different from drivers like Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton when it comes to his collection of automobiles. The Red Bull ace has a taste for the newest, most cutting-edge, most stylish vehicles.

Let’s have a look at some of the cars of Max Verstappen

Porsche 911GT3 RS

After winning his first Grand Prix in 2016, the Dutchman purchased a Porsche 911GT3 RS. Since he was only 18 at the time, he had to ask his father and boss for their approval before buying his ideal vehicle. Under the hood lies a 4.0-litre naturally aspirated boxer-six which produces 518 hp.

Aston Martin Vantage

Another is the Aston Martin Vantage, which he appears to be passionate about. The 4.0 litre twin-turbo V8 with 496 hp, which the Dutch lion thinks, appears to be quite ‘aggressive.’

Renault RS.01

Following these two is a French vehicle that, for some, maybe a Renault Twingo and, for the majority, a Renault RS.01. The 3.8-litre twin-turbo V6 weighs just 2425 pounds and delivers 550 horsepower at 6800 rpm, Renault RS.01 also found a spot in the Dutchman’s garage.
