Charles Leclerc turns heads in custom built Ferrari as he arrives at Imola

Charles Leclerc arrived at the Imola circuit today in his custom-built Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale, ahead of qualifying for the 2025 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.

After adding the car to his impressive collection at the end of 2024, the Ferrari Formula 1 driver used the excuse of the team's first home Grand Prix weekend to bring it to the track.

The Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale is powered by a 4-litre V8 internal combustion engine and a 171 kilowatt electric motor, producing a total of 1,016 horsepower.

The one-of-a-kind supercar features a matte black design with red and white accents, as well as his racing number, 16, incorporated into the sleek aesthetic.

The look of the car is similar to his Ferrari Daytona SP3, aside from the Monaco flag-coloured racing stripe which reaches from the front to the back of the car.

Leclerc explained his design choices:

"I chose the black colour just because it’s one of my favourite colours, and actually, one of my helmets in Ferrari was matte black together with the Monaco flag in the middle of it – and I’ve just done exactly the same on this car."

"So matte black for the car, together with the Monaco flag that goes all the way from the front to the back of the car, and the small red line in order to outline some of the carbon fibre parts of the car that I really liked."

"I think it gave an aggressive look to the car, the red caliper as well, and obviously the big Ferrari logo painted to the car. It looks incredible, and it has such a history that it was obvious for me to put it a bit bigger on this beautiful car."

"I also added my 16 logo – it’s obviously my race number, and I had to put it on my car, and on such a beast."

Leclerc qualified 11th for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix. Commenting on the result, he told Sky Sports F1:

"I can fight as much as I want, but I cannot do miracles. This is what there is in the car, and I'm trying to extract the maximum from it."
