The level of Michael Schumacher’s success at Ferrari was as high as highs go. With the Italian team, Schumacher took himself and his team to the highest of mountains in the sport, making his and his team’s legacy untouchable.

As a result, anything associated with the German during his time at Ferrari, be it his car or small things like his cap, all became collector’s items, their prices blowing through the roof.

Yet there are still some things associated with Schumacher that won’t come at the price of an art piece from the renaissance. And one of those things, or to be more specific, a car which the F1 legend drove will go up for auction in February.

But before you think it’s an F1 car, no it isn’t, it’s a road car. And before you think it’s a Ferrari, it’s not, it’s a Mercedes and that too, a station wagon.

Yet it’s not any station wagon.

A station wagon fit for Michael Schumacher

The model in question is the Mercedes AMG C63 Station Wagon that was given to Schumacher by Mercedes. He drove this car between January and July 2010, and it wasn’t a vehicle he owned.

Regardless, the station wagon body is just a disguise because underneath it is still an AMG fit for a seven-time world champion. Under the hood, it is powered by a 6.2L V8 that produces 457 hp.

It will reach 100km/h from a standstill in a mere 4.6 seconds. And as for how fast it will go?

250 km/h.

Those are mind-boggling numbers even for any car, but especially for a Station Wagon.

It is expected that this particular car driven by the seven-time world champion will fetch over $100,000 in the auction.

So if you have that amount of money, you can try your luck next month in Paris. Also, the car has a mileage of over 150,000 km, but we have a feeling the potential buyers won’t really bother about its mileage.
