The boldest Ferrari owner alive has been driving a $3,000,000 F40 like it’s an everyday car, and footage even shows him snow drifting it.
A Ferrari F40 tearing through snow sounds like a nightmare for collectors, but one fearless owner in Japan has turned it into an art form.
Takeshi Kimura, the man behind Car Guy, took his $3 million Ferrari F40 to a ski resort and sent it spinning through deep snow like it was a rally car.
It’s the same twin-turbo V8 supercar that most people would only dare to put in a trailer to take to a show, yet Kimura’s footage shows him flooring it on icy slopes surrounded by skiers and snowboarders.

A $3,000,000 F40 handles snow drifting like a rally car
The Ferrari F40 supercar is an icon of the late 1980s, because its raw power is notoriously hard to handle, even on dry tarmac.
Seeing one drift through Japan’s Ryuoo Ski Park, then, almost defies logic. And the driver, Takeshi Kimura, had his car fitted with snow chains, rally-style lights, and even a roof rack before he took it out for a spin.
The bright red supercar slips effortlessly around on the white landscape, and while the stunt is impressive, you can’t help but hold your breath when you see it sliding around.
A supercar being driven like an everyday car
Most Ferrari F40s live in climate-controlled garages, preserved like museum pieces and barely touching the tarmac, let alone the snow.
Kimura’s does the opposite. His video shows a car worth millions being treated as if it were built for adventure and everyday joyriding, not auctions.
While purists may cringe, enthusiasts love it; it shows that the F40 isn’t just built for showrooms and admiration, it’s thriving in the wild outdoors.
Kimura might just be the boldest Ferrari owner alive.
