Max Verstappen doesn’t do slow, on the track or in the air. His latest upgrade? A Dassault Falcon 8X, a $50 million private jet that makes sure he gets where he needs to be without wasting a second. It’s a serious step up from his old Falcon 900EX, with more range, more efficiency, and, of course, more style.
The Falcon 8X boasts an impressive 6,450-nautical-mile range,quite the upgrade from Max’s previous jet, the 900EX, which topped out at 4,500 nautical miles. Inside, the cabin is designed for comfort, quiet, spacious, and set up exactly how he wants it. No cramped seats, no waiting in line, just pure convenience.
Like everything else he owns, Max put his stamp on it. The jet’s registration, “PH-UTL,” stands for “Unleash The Lion,” which matches his logo on the tail. The matte black and orange is another bold move, but one that matches the look of his previous jet.
Air, Land & Sea
The jet isn’t his only big-ticket purchase lately. He also picked up a 33-meter Mangusta GranSport 33 yacht, also named “Unleash The Lion.” Five staterooms, lounge areas, and a beach club at the back—because why settle for just a jet when you can have a yacht, too?
Features include:
- Five staterooms, accommodating up to 12 guests
- Three crew cabins
- A spacious sundeck
- A beach club at the stern
- Multiple indoor and outdoor dining areas
- A stabilisation system, to accomodate the rough seas.
When he and his partner Kelly Piquet took delivery of the yacht at the Mangusta shipyard in Italy, it was a private affair—no media circus, just Verstappen picking up another serious piece of engineering.
