A RACE-WINNING Mercedes-AMG Formula 1 car driven by Lewis Hamilton is up for sale, and ready to scare the living daylights out of an extremely rich buyer.

It is advertised with no price guide through the prestigious All Time Stars dealership, based at the Mercedes-Benz museum in Stuttgart.

It was built for the last season of Formula 1’s V8 era and remains powered by a 2.4-litre naturally aspirated V8 engine producing 610kW, according to the Mercedes-Benz Classic listing.

The W04 did away with its predecessor’s stepped nose-cone design, covering it up with a vanity panel for a minor aerodynamic advantage and less ugliness.

Mercedes-Benz kindly points out in the advert that the car is not roadworthy, and does not come with a sunroof, central locking, seat heating, air conditioning, ABS, or airbags, and that it has just one previous owner.

As for that price? If you have to ask…
