The Ferrari 296 GTS joins a McLaren 750S, another convertible sports car worth ₦1.7 billion, which Wizkid purchased last December from Polanco to celebrate a successful 2024.

Cars in Wizkid’s collection also includes a Ferrari SF90 he bought in December 2023, a Lamborghini Urus SUV, a Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600, a Range Rover and at least three Rolls-Royce Cullinan ultra-luxury SUVs.

Ferrari 296 GTS uses a 3.0-liter V6 with an electric motor, which combines to give a 830 hp and 740 Nm (546 lb-ft) of torque, allowing the plug-in hybrid to reach 62 mph (100 km/h) in 2.9 seconds and to a top speed of 205 mph (330 km/h).

The 296 GTS is an open-top variant of the 296 GTB with a folding hardtop. Its folding roof needs 14 seconds to go up or down while the electrified convertible is traveling at speeds of up to 45 km/h (28 mph).
