Max Verstappen Private Jet: F1 Star Upgrades to Falcon 8X

Max Verstappen, the reigning four-time World Champion, has recently upgraded his aviation assets by selling his Dassault Falcon 900EX and acquiring a state-of-the-art Falcon 8X.

The Falcon 8X, a 2022 model, boasts a market value of approximately $50 million. This long-range jet offers a significant improvement over his previous aircraft, with a range of 12,000 kilometers compared to the 7,800 kilometers of the Falcon 900EX. This enhancement reduces the need for refueling stops, allowing for more direct flights between global destinations.

Verstappen’s new jet features a custom matte black livery with orange accents, reflecting his personal branding and the colors associated with his racing career. The aircraft is registered as PH-UTL, an acronym for “Unleash The Lion,” a phrase that also adorns his recently acquired 33-meter Mangusta superyacht. This yacht, named ‘Unleash the Lion,’ is another testament of Verstappen’s taste for luxury and performance.

The Falcon 8X is renowned for its advanced technology and comfort. It features a Digital Flight Control System derived from Dassault’s Rafale fighter jet, ensuring a smooth and efficient flight experience. The interior is designed for luxury, providing a serene environment for rest and relaxation between races.
