If you had to choose, would you prefer a BMW M2 2024, valued at around $70,000, or an iconic V10 engine autographed by Michael Schumacher, straight from the 1998 Formula 1 car?
Now, a historic piece of motorsport is up for sale: the V10 engine from the Ferrari F300, which led Schumacher to six victories in the 1998 season. This high-revving machine reaches over 17,000 rpm and produces an impressive 805 horsepower.
As a special touch, Schumacher himself signed the valve cover. The engine, which belonged to former Ferrari engineer Nigel Stepney, is being auctioned by RM Sotheby’s. Although it is not functional, it includes components such as the crankshaft, exhaust, and numbered gears.
The estimated value of this relic ranges between $60,000 and $85,000, but the auction has no reserve price, which could make the deal even more accessible. For collectors and enthusiasts, this could be the chance to acquire a rare piece of Formula 1 history—whether as a display item, an exclusive coffee table, or even for a bold engine swap project. And you, what would you choose: a modern sports car or a legendary engine?
