A low-mileage Ferrari F430 coupe, once owned by Donald Trump, is set to go to auction and is expected to sell for significantly more than its market value.

Trump purchased the supercar in 2007 and sold it in 2011 with just over 3,800 kilometers on the clock. In 2017, it changed hands again, selling to an undisclosed buyer for a little over AU$430,000. The car now has just over 15,000 kilometers on the odometer.

The F430 packs a 4.3-litre naturally-aspirated V8 engine, capable of 355kW. This particular example is mated to an F1 automated manual transmission, sending power through the rear wheels.

It is finished in iconic Rosso Corsa Red with a tan interior and appears to be in immaculate condition based on the photos.

The car also comes with its original Ferrari-branded car cover, seat covers, and matching carry bag.

F430s in the United States with similar mileage are currently priced around US$130,000 (AU$210,000). However, the Trump connection is expected to significantly boost this car's value, much like in 2024 when his 1997 Diablo VT Roadster shattered auction records.

Set to be auctioned by Rockstar Car Auction, bidding is scheduled for late February.
