$10,000 Ferrari F1 Gearbox Table
For $10,000 you can get a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture crafted from the gearbox of Ferrari's F2000 Formula 1 racecar. At the end of the 2000 racing season, the complete 7-speed gearbox was signed by Ferrari's championship-winning driver Michael Schumacher, Scuderia Ferrari Executive Director Jean Todt and Ferrari CEO Luca Cordero Di Montezemolo. It was mounted to a 18"x18" carbon wall plaque with an authentic Ferrari fender shield mounted in the middle. Performance furniture firm RaceChairs is now offering it for $10,000 with the option of having a custom lamp or table (above) completed showcasing the gearbox. RaceChairs notes that due to the espionage problems with rival teams, Scuderia Ferrari is no longer releasing these kinds of pieces to private collectors, so this is your last chance.

It's a nine year old gearbox, not an engine as in the picture. Seperately, while Ferrari are not releasing parts contemporaneously (and never have) they do release engines and components once the technology is obsolete. See, Ferrari Store where an F2002 V10 engine is for sale. Notwithstanding, it's a pretty cool piece of automotive art, if only I could find a woman who would allow something like that in my home...
