Story

In 2015, Max Verstappen became the youngest ever driver to compete in the Formula One Championship, racing for Red Bull’s junior team, Scuderia Toro Rosso. Achieving promotion in his second season into the Red Bull Racing senior team. the STR10 was the car in which it all began. The rest is history.

Toro Rosso built a total of four STR10 cars for the Formula 1 racing season in 2015. Verstappen drove the majority of his first season competing in this very car, the STR10-02, with 13 of the 19 GPs and the pre-season winter tests in Spain.

It is believed that the STR10-03 is owned by Max himself, in which he drove the first 6 GPs, and this is sometimes displayed in his fan shop in the Netherlands. After his crash in Monaco, he was deployed chassis #2 (this car) where he went on to score points in 9 races including his best results of the season, achieving 4th place in both Hungary and the United States Grand Prix.

You can now own the car Max Verstappen used to show the world what he was capable of. The dawn of a motorsport legend.

A Significant Car in Toro Rosso History

The Scuderia Toro Rosso STR10-02 represents a key chassis from the Faenza team’s tenth Formula One car programme. The car was unveiled on 31 January 2015 at the Jerez circuit, one day before winter testing began, where Max Verstappen and Carlos Sainz Jr. started their debut F1® season.

As the second Toro Rosso car to be powered by Renault, the STR10 marked a technical step forward for the team and introduced two of the sport’s most exciting young drivers to the grid. Team Principal Franz Tost described the STR10 as the best car the team had produced at that time, benefitting from improved processes, lessons learned from earlier seasons and a stronger Renault power unit that addressed shortcomings from 2014. The updated FIA nose regulations also played a major role in shaping the STR10’s long and lower profile, while reorganised internal packaging allowed for more streamlined sidepods.

Technical Director James Key highlighted how ambitious the car’s development cycle was, saying at launch: “It will look quite different by the time we get to Race 1. We've got several very new ideas which have gone into it, which the team is exploring for the first time, which makes it an interesting project. We've pushed the limits of timing much more with STR10 than with passed cars and we're dealing with it really well. We have a pretty aggressive plan for development. We'll turn up to Race 1 with a fundamentally different car to the one we run in testing."

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these cars officially licensed?

Yes. Our officially licensed Show Cars are created in partnership with Formula 1® and the respective Formula One teams, with exceptional attention to the design, detailing and finish of the original car.

For heritage and race-used cars, provenance and authenticity are carefully researched and verified by our specialists.

Where can I find the full specification?

Key specifications, dimensions and details are presented on each individual car page. For further technical information, provenance, condition reports or specific requirements, our specialists are available to provide additional documentation and discuss the car with you personally.

How can I confirm availability?

Our collection includes exceptionally limited Show Cars, historic Race Cars and privately sourced examples, with availability subject to change.

To confirm the current status of a particular car, please submit an enquiry. A dedicated specialist will discuss availability, lead times and the next steps for acquisition with you.

Do you sell real Formula 1® cars as well as show cars?

Yes. Alongside our officially licensed Show Cars, we offer genuine Formula 1® cars, from factory-built rolling chassis to cars that competed in the FIA Formula One World Championship. Some are offered privately and availability changes, so please speak to a specialist about what is available now.

What's the difference between a real F1® car and a show car?

A real Formula 1® car is a chassis built by the team to race or test. It carries its own history: the drivers, the circuits and often many of the components it ran with. Some are rolling chassis and a few are still in running order.

A Show Car is a full-scale replica of the race car, made for display rather than the track. It has no engine or gearbox and is built to match the look and detail of the car on the grid, with features such as carbon fibre components, official Pirelli tyres and functional steering on our latest models. That makes it the natural choice for a private collection, a gallery, a showroom or a hospitality space.

Are the F1® show cars full size?

Yes. Our Show Cars are full-scale replicas of the race cars they represent. A specialist can confirm the exact dimensions of any car and advise on space, access and installation for your location.

Do you ship Formula 1® cars internationally?

Yes. We deliver worldwide. Our team has longstanding experience in global trade and single-seater car transport, and will provide a bespoke shipping quote for your car and location. Import duties and local taxes vary by destination, and your specialist will talk you through what applies.
