Vanilla Ice has finally moved on from his iconic Mustang as he has shown off a custom-made Ferrari F8 Spider.

You’ll never guess what color it is.

The famed American rapper has long been a fan of more muscular cars, having favored his 5.0 Fox Body of old.

But now he’s showcased a custom Ferrari F8 Spider, and the custom car is impeccable.

Vanilla Ice has a new Ferrari F8 Spider and its typical ‘him’

Ice-Ice Baby will forever be an iconic tune, with Vanilla Ice – and Irish novelty pop act Jedward – carrying the timeless rap song through the decades.

However, the Fox-Body Ford Mustang GT 5.0 that he frequently referenced in the lyrics now has some major competition in the ice-cold heart of Robert Matthew Van Winkle.

Appearing in a recent upload on his YouTube channel, Vanilla Ice revealed a custom-made Ferrari F8 Spyder that was created in front of his very eyes.

The car was painted in a typical color for the rapper, coming in an off-white Baileys-like hue that appeared almost an icy vanilla

The convertible only has around 500 miles on the clock, as Vanilla Ice claimed that all he does is sit around with a cup of coffee and look at it.

As to its design, the rapper was actually invited down to the Ferrari factory to watch it being built, from the stitching of the seats to the details on the wheels.

“I remember, in the engine room where they’re building in assemblies, you’d think [that] you’re going to smell grease and gasoline,” he said

“They had ducks in a trough swimming through the engine room – real-life ducks – and it smelled like flowers. They had a section with trees in it so they got oxygen.”

This isn’t Vanilla Ice’s only car, of course, as his collection appears to be growing well.

From rapper to rapper, he previously bought 50 Cent’s Lamborghini, while he also netted a stunning 1955 Cadillac Series 62 from an NFL star – although he’ll never drive it.

The music star did stay loyal to the GT though, confessing that ‘nothing will ever compare to the 5.0’.
