by In the USA, a 1998 Ferrari F355 Spider roadster owned by Shaquille O’Neal is up for auction on Bring a Trailer. The Ferrari supercar is unique in its own right, yet it is valued at only $48,500.
The price is indeed low considering the celebrity owner. Moreover, the 1998 Ferrari F355 Spider was specifically modified for Shaquille O’Neal.
In particular, the interior features special seats, and a pair of fairings with speakers were added behind them. The basketball player was too large and tall for the Ferrari, leading to a change of seats, removal of the fabric roof with mechanism, and even relocation of the fuel tank forward to the luggage compartment.
The Ferrari supercar is equipped with a stock 3.5-liter V8 engine producing 380 hp and a 6-speed automated manual transmission. The maximum speed is 295 km/h, and it accelerates to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds.
The car is well-preserved and has less than 12,000 km on the odometer.
