Sebastian Vettel's Nissan GT-R Black Edition is for sale.
But the mileage of just 150 kilometers has its price.
A dealer demands almost 300,000 euros for the sports car.
At the end of the 2022 season, Sebastian Vettel (34) hung up his helmet and said goodbye to Formula 1.
The four-time world champion wants to devote more time to his family and to protecting the environment.
During his career, Vettel had repeatedly campaigned for the issue and also advocated a speed limit in Germany.
So it's only logical that the 34-year-old is selling his Nissan GT-R Black Edition.
The sports car is offered by Mechatronik GmbH from Pleidesheim.
“An absolutely new vehicle both visually and technically, which represents a unique opportunity for collectors, primarily because of the history of the owner,” writes the dealer on his website.
With a mileage of just 150 kilometers, that's no wonder.
