Max Verstappen has been spotted with another impressive performance car during his time away from Formula 1. The four-time world champion was seen driving the rare Audi RS Q8 ABT Legacy Edition, a heavily modified luxury SUV with an asking price of approximately $328,333.

Limited to just 125 units worldwide, the vehicle combines an aggressive exterior with major engine upgrades. Its appearance also offers a glimpse into the Dutchman's interest in high-performance road cars.

Max Verstappen's Interest in High-Performance Cars

Verstappen has never hidden his interest in powerful road cars. He does not consider himself a traditional car collector and prefers to choose vehicles that appeal to him rather than follow a particular collecting strategy.

From German performance cars to exclusive British sports cars, his garage reportedly includes several models with strong motorsport connections.

The Audi RS Q8 ABT Legacy Edition fits that preference, offering substantial power alongside the comfort of a luxury SUV.

Verstappen's RS Q8 features a gray paint finish with matte carbon-fiber bodywork. The registration plate reads '033V,' a reference to his racing number 33 and last name.

The interior features extensive use of Alcantara, matching matte carbon accents, and high-end Nappa leather seats.

A Look at Max Verstappen's Car Collection

The Audi is not the first exclusive vehicle associated with Verstappen. His reported collection includes several high-performance models, with the Porsche 911 GT3 RS among his notable purchases.

He bought the Porsche after securing his maiden Formula 1 victory at the 2016 Spanish Grand Prix with Red Bull Racing. The Dutchman also owns a Renault R.S.01, a track-focused sports car powered by a 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine.

His garage also includes several Aston Martin models, including the DB11, Vantage and DBS Superleggera. Another major highlight is the Aston Martin Valkyrie, developed in collaboration with Red Bull.

Verstappen has won the event twice, including the 2025 edition. He will aim to add another strong result to his record at the street circuit when the action begins on Thursday.
