I just read Max Verstappen’s Former 2008 Dassault Falcon F900EXY Is For Sale by duPont REGISTRY, and it’s a high-flying peek into the world of elite motorsport travel.

Fresh off his 2024 Formula One championship, Verstappen traded up to a $58M Falcon 8X—leaving his fully loaded 2008 Falcon F900EXY up for grabs. This 14-passenger luxury jet, now listed by Dassault Aviation, blends speed, space, and sleek modern comfort, with entertainment features that rival your living room and enough galley gear to host a midair dinner party.

It’s a rare chance to own a machine that’s logged miles with a racing legend—and still has plenty of high-altitude life left.

• 🛋️ Refreshed in 2021 with matte dark wood and satin nickel: Like Verstappen’s racecraft, it’s modern, refined, and built for long hauls.

• 🎬 Dual Blu-rays, HD monitors, USB ports, and tablet holders: Because even F1 champs binge-watch at 40,000 feet.

• 🛠️ Next major inspection isn’t due until August 2026: Buy it now, fly stress-free, and channel your inner Max.

In a world full of noise, the ability to choose your altitude—or your anchor—is the ultimate signal.
