Pharrell Williams’ auction platform JOOPITER is bringing Formula 1 history and two limited-production Ferraris into the same collector conversation.

Clutch: two Ferraris at the limits of the naturally aspirated era

Clutch brings together two cars that JOOPITER describes as markers of a pivotal period in Ferrari engineering. The 2022 Ferrari 812 Competizione represents the most extreme development of Ferrari’s front-engined V12 line at the time of its debut. The 2015 Ferrari 458 Speciale A closes out the marque’s naturally aspirated, open-top V8 lineage.

The 812 Competizione is one of 999 coupés produced. Its 6.5-liter V12 is rated at 830 brake horsepower at 9,250 rpm, and the example listed by JOOPITER showed 64 miles when cataloged. Nero Daytona paint is paired with Rosso F1 2007 livery accents, forged wheels and extensive carbon fiber.

The 458 Speciale A is one of 499 examples. Its 4.5-liter V8 produces 597 horsepower and revs to 9,000 rpm; JOOPITER recorded 208 miles at cataloging. The car is finished in Rosso Corsa with a contrasting bicolor livery and a Nero-and-Rosso Alcantara interior. The official listing presents both Ferraris on a price-on-request basis rather than publishing estimates.

The Modern Grid: race-used Formula 1 history

Running from May 1 through May 14, The Modern Grid assembles objects connected to the physical experience and visual language of Formula 1. The catalog opens with signed half-scale helmets from Gabriel Bortoleto, Oliver Bearman, Liam Lawson and Isack Hadjar, then moves into race-used clothing, full-size helmets, signed artwork and mechanical artifacts.

Among the headline lots is a signed, race-used Arai helmet from Michael Schumacher’s 1991 rookie season at the Italian Grand Prix, estimated at $80,000–$100,000. A signed 2005 Australian Grand Prix Ferrari race suit is estimated at $70,000–$100,000. The sale also includes a 2025 Lewis Hamilton Ferrari Nomex shirt used at the Las Vegas Grand Prix, a used 2025 Oscar Piastri McLaren suit and a signed 2025 Charles Leclerc full-size replica Ferrari helmet.

A 1979 French Grand Prix podium champagne bottle signed by Gilles Villeneuve, Jean-Pierre Jabouille and René Arnoux connects the modern-grid concept to an earlier generation. At the more accessible end, estimates begin around $300 for signed cards and hats, while the catalog’s most important race-used Schumacher pieces reach six figures.

motorsport, fashion and collector culture

JOOPITER’s curatorial approach places performance engineering beside the style, identity and material history surrounding the grid. That framing feels especially relevant as Formula 1 continues to intersect with fashion, music and design. A race suit or helmet is not treated simply as merchandise: its date, driver, race context and documented use determine the story.

The contrast between the two sales is equally useful. Clutch focuses on two exceptionally limited road cars, while The Modern Grid offers a broader route into collecting through 29 lots with a wide range of estimates. Together, they show how JOOPITER is extending its archive-led auction model into motorsport without reducing every object to the same category.

fin

JOOPITER’s Formula 1 program works because it does not present motorsport as a sealed-off collector niche. The two Ferraris embody the end points of celebrated naturally aspirated engine programs; the memorabilia catalog records the people, races and physical objects surrounding them. The result is a focused auction pairing built around provenance, design and the emotional pull of competition.
