Celeb chef Gordon Ramsay invited a young fan to sit inside his $4 million Ferrari F40 on a London street, making the kid’s day.
The interaction occurred outside Ramsay’s restaurant, Lucky Cat, located in the swanky neighborhood of Mayfair.
A young fan was filming the supercar outside, when the celebrity chef let him hop in the F40.
It really was a special moment, and video of it has unsurprisingly gone viral online.
Gordon Ramsay has quite the supercar collection
When you think of blockbuster celebrity car collections, your mind might toward superstar athletes or Hollywood stars.
But Gordon Ramsay is neither of those things, and he has a supercar collection that anyone would envy.
Cars in his haul include an Aston Martin Valhalla, a LaFerrari Aperta, and an Audi RS6 GT.
All in all, his collection is estimated to be worth around $16 million – although he singled out the Aston Martin DB4 as a particular favorite.
But despite his sensational line-up, he still hasn’t lost the common touch – as one recent video demonstrated.
The heartwarming moment Ramsay invited a young fan to sit in his Ferrari F40
This video was shared by Adam Croft, and took place outside of Lucky Cat, one of Ramsay’s London restaurants.
Croft was one of the people filming the stunning Ferrari F40 that was parked up by the sidewalk.
But another onlooker was a young boy, who Ramsay noticed and invited to sit inside the car.
It was truly a ‘pinch me’ moment, and the kid obviously took the chef up on his offer.
“Jump in!” Ramsay encouraged.
At one point, Ramsay even took the kid’s phone and filmed him sitting inside the Italian supercar.
It obviously meant a lot to the young fan, who Ramsay posed for a picture with and high fived.
How did the internet react to this video?
As you might expect, the video has done big numbers online, amassing more than 700,000 likes.
Thousands of people piled into the comments section to praise Ramsay and give their kudos to the kid at the heart of this story.
“That kid has already won at life,” one commenter said.
“He’ll remember that forever,” another commented.
“Kind gesture. And the way the kid respected the car is also a sign of good parenting,” a third viewer noted.
What makes the Ferrari F40 so special?
The End of an Era: This was the last car that Enzo Ferrari personally approved before his death.
A Landmark in Supercar History: It was the first production road car to pass 200mph.
Rare and Valuable: Roughly 1,300 were built between 1987 and 1992, and today they go for seven figure sums.
Last of its kind: After the F40, Ferraris became more refined and electronically managed, so the F40 is seen as the pinnacle of the analog supercar era.
