It hasn’t been what golfers would call the best season for Ian Poulter, with the FedEx Cup results being rather timid to say the least. But when you think about his current ranking and his income that is around $1.6 million, you realize that losing a battle does not mean you lost the war. And with the LaFerrari recently joining the family, it’s safe to say the pro golfer is far from being defeated.
They may come in small numbers, but it’s been a while since Maranello presented its first issue, so it’s quite natural for LaFerrari owners to take delivery of their hypercars finally. Ian Poulter joins the eccentric club about the same time rock legend Sammy Hagar’s Prancing Horse also arrived at the destination. Sure, the former Van Halen lead singer had his finished in a cappuccino color while Poulter’s seems to be the regular red color.
Sure, that’s about the only thing that is routine with this machine. Let us not forget we’re dealing with the first mild hybrid from Ferrari, providing the highest power output of any Prancing Horse while decreasing fuel consumption by 40 percent. Combining the power of both the 6.3-liter V12 engine with the KERS offers a total output of 963 horsepower and a combined torque of 664 lb-ft (900 Nm).
As if owning the LaFerrari leaves any wishes unfulfilled, Poulter is, in fact, owning not one but five Italian exotics. The Ferrari Super Five is a collection that marks some of the best models engineers at Maranello ever produced: 288 GTO, F40, F50, Enzo, and LaFerrari. The 39-year-old professional golfer has recently posted this image with all these marvels shining brightly in front of his mansion in Florida.
Take a good look at this image and recount all the Ferraris in it. Now, try to be honest with us, doesn’t it make you want to quit your job and start playing golf?
