One of Mike Tyson's old cars is being sold at auction in the coming week.

A car once owned by former professional boxer Mike Tyson is heading for the auction block.
This is the vehicle that people can bid on — it's a Ferrari F50 from 1995.
It has a price estimate of $4.5 million to $5.5 million and is being sold by Pebble Beach Auctions in California.
The car is one of only 55 US-spec examples and one of only 349 F50s ever built, according to the auction house. This 4.7-liter engine produces 513 horsepower at 8,500 rpm. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 202 mph.
It has 6,200 miles on the clock, the auction house said. Service work was performed on the car this year by Ferrari of Fort Lauderdale.
The interior looks stunning and matches the Rosso Corsa (Italian for "Racing Red") color finish from the exterior.
It is an extremely rare vehicle and a collector's item.
Production of the vehicle was completed in 1996 and delivered from Ferrari North America to Beverly Hills Sports Cars, according to historian Marcel Massini. It fell into Mike Tyson's hands quite quickly, as per the car's original warranty book.

Mike Tyson — who in 1986 became the youngest heavyweight in boxing history to win a championship aged 20 — owned numerous cars in his life and career, like this Bentley in 2000.
He was pictured with his Jaguar at the same time, outside his Las Vegas home.
Mike Tyson, seen here with iconic promoter Don King, reached the highest echelons of world boxing in the 1980s and 1990s, and remains one of the biggest names in sport.
Despite his numerous car acquisitions through the years, the Ferrari F50 "was the most significant, a car that he owned at the very height of his professional career," according to the auction house.
