Ferrari 250 GTO used for golf

In Los Angeles, a Ferrari 250 GTO valued at around 33 million euros was spotted in a golf course parking lot, drawing attention and going viral on social media. The car was used by David Lee, a prominent collector, for a round of golf, reinforcing his reputation as a leading Ferrari enthusiast.

David Lee's background and collection

David Lee is the owner of the jewelry group Hing Wa Lee and a YouTuber who has collected exceptional Ferraris for years. His collection is worth over 100 million dollars, and in January 2026, he purchased a rare 250 GTO at an auction in Florida.

Details of the 250 GTO purchase

The 250 GTO purchased by David Lee is a 1962 model with chassis number 3729GT. It was originally painted in Bianco Speciale and sold at a Mecum auction in Kissimmee, Florida, for 38.5 million dollars, approximately 33 million euros. The car features a 3.0-liter V12 engine rated for about 300 horsepower.

Lee's experience with the 250 GTO

David Lee described the 250 GTO as "beyond a dream" and used it for a round of golf instead of displaying it in a private museum. He called it "the best golf day in a long time," highlighting his unique approach to enjoying his collection.

Addition of Ferrari 296 Speciale to collection

Following the purchase of the 250 GTO, David Lee added a Ferrari 296 Speciale Coupe 2026 model to his collection. This car is one of the first examples of the model delivered to American customers and is painted in Rosso Corsa with distinctive racing features.

Technical details of the 296 Speciale

The 296 Speciale uses the V6 twin-turbo hybrid engine from the 296 GTB, with an electric motor adding to a total power of 868 horsepower. A large fixed wing increases downforce by about 20%, and David Lee described the car's performance as feeling like riding a roller coaster.
