Watch Gas Monkey Garage’s $1.5M Six-Wheeled Ferrari F6 Shred All Four Rear Tires in Insane Burnout Video The caption on Gas Monkey Garage’s latest video asks a deceptively simple question: “Will the F6 spin all 4 tires?” The answer arrives in about 17 seconds of white smoke, screaming rubber, and a parking lot that looks like someone drew crop circles with a supercharger. The clip, shot outside the Dallas shop with the iconic “GAS” sign visible in the background, shows the Rosso Corsa F6 tearing through donuts and laying down overlapping black rings across the concrete – a drone shot at the end captures the carnage nicely, with a classic Porsche 911 and a Ford Mustang parked at the perimeter as silent witnesses. The driver, visible through the open window in sunglasses, appears to be Rawlings himself. When the supercharger whine builds and all four rear tires bite simultaneously, the camera lens disappears into a wall of smoke. That’s the confirmation. What the F6 Actually Is After more than two and a half years of chaos, drama, and a falling-out with a third partner, Rawlings and business partner John Clay Wolfe of Give Me The Vin unveiled the Ferrari F6 – a one-of-a-kind, six-wheeled Ferrari valued at $1.5 million, finished in Rosso Corsa red.

The original Ferrari flat-12 has been ditched in favor of a supercharged 6.2-liter LT4 V8 lifted from a C7 Chevy Corvette Z06. Power output is estimated at around 1,200 horsepower, per the shop. Power goes to all four of the rear wheels through a custom-engineered all-wheel drive transmission and differential, making the F6 a genuinely functional six-wheeler rather than a showpiece – which the burnout video confirms beyond any reasonable doubt. Stopping power comes from oversized Wilwood six-piston front brakes and four-piston rears, one-off custom center-lock wheels sit at all six corners, and the rear end features fully independent suspension. Those center-lock hubs alone reportedly cost $60,000 to fabricate.

Perhaps the most striking addition is a huge rear wing with uprights connected directly to the chassis. Fixed headlights replace the original pop-ups, and the interior has been inspired by the Ferrari F40 – stripped out, with a three-spoke Momo steering wheel, digital instrument cluster, an exposed shifter, and carbon-fiber-backed Recaro bucket seats. Two Years of Drama Before the Smoke The road to this parking lot wasn’t without its bumps. Gas Monkey Garage was initially working alongside Danton Art Kustins and Frechy Export LLC to build the Testarossa 6×6, but that relationship fell apart, leaving GMG, founder Richard Rawlings, and partner John Clay Wolfe to finish the job on their own. When Rawlings flew to check progress, the car was nowhere near the design they’d agreed on – and when it eventually arrived in Texas, it was missing key parts, painted the wrong shade, sitting on wheels that didn’t match the proportions, and missing the wing entirely.

The F6 made its public debut on May 23 via Gas Monkey’s and Wolfe’s YouTube channels, complete with track footage, and is now offered for sale at that $1.5 million price. “Can’t wait to see who is ultimately going to take this beauty home,” Wolfe said. The burnout video is a proof of concept as much as it is a flex. Gas Monkey described the drivetrain as an all-wheel drive setup, though it’s worth noting the front axle receives no power – all of it goes through those four rear tires. Rawlings has acknowledged he fully expects Ferrari’s legal team to eventually take an interest in the project, per the shop’s own commentary. Given that a genuine Testarossa now carries a Corvette engine, a third axle, and the name “Ferrari F6” on the internet, that interest seems like a reasonable expectation.
