Gordon Ramsay's taste for good food is only rivaled by his taste for exotic cars, and he has a sweet tooth for Ferrari. Gordon Ramsay is one of the most famous chefs in the world. The British chef's love for food has helped him amass a tremendous amount of wealth, which he has used to build a car collection so incredible that you could mistake it for a dealership.
Gordon Ramsay has a net worth of $220 million, and not all of it comes from screaming insults at people on prime time television.
When Gordon Ramsay isn't busy calling people idiot sandwiches on prime time television, he spends his time driving around his many, many, many cars mainly Ferraris. His car collection rivals that of multiple formula one champion, Lewis Hamilton, and it would be interesting to see the two petrol heads compare notes (although with those many Ferraris around I doubt Hamilton would stick around).
Realizing a lifelong dream
Every child dreams of owning a Ferrari, the allure of a bright red sports car with a prancing horse on the front is irresistible.
In an interview with Ferrari, he recollects his childhood, "I remember watching Magnum P.I as a child, dreaming of being able to drive a 308, I am very fortunate to have one now. Today, I have the privilege of driving on the track in my new Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta."
Gordon Ramsay's love for Ferrari started when he was still very young, and continues to this day. Today he owns one of the most impressive Ferrari collections in the world.
550 Maranello
What do you gift a man that has just won his first three-star Michelin award? A Ferrari of course, especially if that man is Gordon Ramsay. Ramsay's wife bought him the Ferrari 550 Maranello in 2002 after he had won his first three-star Michelin award. The original price of the 550 was $212,000.
Ferrari F355 GTS
An oldie but a goodie. The Ferrari F355 is one of the older model Ferraris in the Ramsay collection. Not every old car is a classic, but this one certainly is. When the F355 was first released it was priced at $137,000.
Ferrari 575 Superamerica
The Ferrari 575 Superamerica is a collector's item, only 599 examples of this car were ever made. The 575 Superamerica has a top speed of 202 mph and can go from 0-60 mph in 4.2 seconds. Gordon Ramsay bought the 575 Superamerica for $315,000.
Ferrari 430 Scuderia
The Ferrari 430 Scuderia is another one for the purists, Michael Schumacher was heavily involved in the development of this car, his unique perspective helped Ferrari perfect the Scuderia. The Ferrari 430 Scuderia set the Masterchef back around $217,300.
Ferrari 612 Scaglietti
Not the most glamorous Ferrari in the Ramsay collection, but what it lacks in glamour it more than makes up for in raw power. The 4-seater Ferrari has a 5.7-liter V12 engine that produces 533 hp, making Gordon Ramsay's trips to the supermarket rather thrilling. The 612 Scaglietti will set you back around $170,000.
The Main Course
Ferrari California T
Every car connoisseur needs an everyday car, even if that car is a naturally aspirated V8 that produces 553 hp. It is only fitting that Gordon Ramsay drives around California with his Ferrari California T. Chef Ramsay's everyday car will only cost you a modest $200,000.
Ferrari 458 Italia
Many Ferrari fans believe that the $250,000 Ferrari 458 Italia is one of the greatest Ferrari's ever built. The 458 Italia has a naturally aspirated V8 engine that produces 570 hp and 398 lb-ft of torque.
Ferrari 488 GTB
The Ferrari 488 GTB is the upgrade version of the 458 Italia. The 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8 Ferrari produces 660 hp and 560 lb-ft of torque and costs around $262,647. The 488 GTB has a top speed of 205 mph and can go from 0-62 mph in 3.0 seconds.
Ferrari LaFerrari
The LaFerrari is one-third of the infamous hybrid "Holy Trinity". The LaFerrari is Ferrari's first hybrid supercar, it has a top speed of 217 mph and can go from 0-62 in less than 3 seconds. In any other car collection, the $3.2 million LaFerrari would be the crown jewel.
Creme De La Creme
The same way that a Masterchef has a signature dish, a car connoisseur has his own signature car collection.
Ferrari F12 TDF
The TDF was built to honor the Tour De France and only 799 units were built. The F12 TDF is now worth over $500,000. The TDF has a 6.3-liter V12 engine that kicks out a massive 769 horsepower. The Ferrari F12 TDF has a top speed of 211 mph and goes from 0-62 mph in 2.9 seconds.
Ferrari 812 Superfast
The Prancing Horse is famous for its powerful V12 engines, and the 812 Superfast is no different. The 812's had the most powerful 12-cylinder engine before it surrendered its supremacy to the Ferrari SF90 Stradale. Ramsay's 812 superfast has a special spec from H.R Owen in London, so it costs a little more than the $335,000 that you'd spend on a base model.
Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta
Owning one LaFerrari is an impressive achievement, but two? Very few people in the world can claim that they own two LaFerrari's, and Gordon Ramsay's one of them. The Limited edition LaFerrari Aperta is one of only 150 examples that were made of the Aperta and it is worth $2.2 million. It is one of Gordon's favorite cars in his collection, and it is easy to see why that is.
Ferrari Monza SP2
The cream of the crop. The Ferrari Monza SP2 is the crown jewel in the Ramsay collection. The $2 million Monza comes in either a one-seater (SP1) or a two-seater(SP2), Chef Ramsay bought himself an SP2 so that he can drive around with a companion if he needs to. The Car is reminiscent of the kind that you'd expect to see Bruce Wayne driving around in when it gets dark out.
