The Infiniti FX was designed solely with the idea of praising the reigning World Champion of Formula 1.

The SUV was revealed for the first time at the Frankfurt Motor Show, and INFINITI revealed that it was one of their fastest cars to date.

8. Ferrari 488 GTB

Next up in Sebastian Vettel's car collection comes the Ferrari 488 GTB, which is one of seven Ferraris on this list. The 488 GTB was the successor to the 458. It was also the first mid-engine Ferrari to use a turbocharged V8 since the F40. The exterior is similar to the 458's in terms of style, and the interior is simple and does little to distract anyone from the driving experience.

The Ferrari 488 GTB, has stiff competition from the likes of the Lamborghini Huracan, McLaren 570GT, and Porsche 911 Turbo S. The starting price of the Ferrari 488 GTB is $262,647.

The Ferrari 488 GTB is a powerhouse, and it provides lightning-fast acceleration as well.

7. Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series

The next car on this list is the 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series. This is another car that Vettel ended up selling. The SL65 AMG Black Series was the high-performance variant of the R230 SL-Class.

Unlike earlier SL versions, the SL65 AMG Black Series wasn't offered as a convertible. The Black Series was only available as a hardtop because the roof mechanism added too much weight considering it was designed for maximum performance. The Black Series received numerous upgrades to the suspension, aerodynamics, and drivetrain, in addition to a fixed roof. The 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series has an estimated value of $307,389.

The 2009 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series is a limited edition model, as Mercedes produced just 350 units of it. The SL65 AMG was gifted to Sebastian Vettel by the organizers for winning the 2009 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix with Redbull.

The F40 was one of the most driver-focused vehicles of its day, lacking a radio, carpet, or inner door panels and having a plastic windshield. The body was made of a mix of aluminum, carbon fiber, and Kevlar. The double-wishbone suspension was used initially, and later, hydraulic ride-height adjustment was added to cars. A total of 1315 examples of the Ferrari F40 were built, with each one of them having an estimated value of $2.5 million.

Ferrari LaFerrari

The Ferrari LaFerrari is the successor to the iconic Ferrari Enzo. It was also the company's first car to use a hybrid powertrain.

The estimated value of a 2016 Ferrari LaFerrari is $3.35 million.

Ferrari Enzo

The 2004 Ferrari Enzo was developed in 2002, and it used F1-style technology such as a carbon-fiber body and an automated-shift manual transmission.

The Enzo belonged to a limited series of Ferrari road cars, including the 288 GTO, F40, and F50, that showcased the company's ongoing quest to build the most luxurious and cutting-edge road vehicle. A total of 400 units of the Ferrari Enzo were produced, with each one of them having an estimated value of $3,500,000.

Ferrari F50

The Ferrari F50 was inspired by the 1990 Ferrari 641 (driven by Alain Prost), and its design was an evolution of the 1989 Ferrari Mythos concept car.

The F50 was created to commemorate Ferrari's 50th anniversary and was, at the time, the closest thing Ferrari had ever constructed to a road-ready Formula One car. The F50 relied only on the driver for control; it lacked power-assisted braking, anti-lock brakes, and power steering.

This vehicle embraced a purist commitment to performance. 349 examples of the Ferrari F50 were produced. The estimated value of a 1996 Ferrari F50 is somewhere between $3.5 million and $4 million.

That is it for what Sebastian Vettel’s car collection has to offer.
