Jake Paul, the American YouTuber turned boxer, is gearing up to face UFC veteran Nate Diaz. With a growing focus on his boxing career, Paul’s YouTube channel has taken a backseat. Nevertheless, as he nears 16 million subscribers, he intends to revive his attention to his YouTube endeavors. Besides his passion for boxing and content creation, Paul is an avid car enthusiast. With a collection worth a staggering $10 million, his fleet boasts impressive vehicles such as Rolls Royce, Lamborghini Huracan, and Tesla Model X, as reported by WheelsUpdates. Jake Paul seamlessly balances his diverse interests and pursuits with finesse.

Recently, to the surprise of his fans, Jake Paul uploaded a video, revealing that he has bought a new car. What’s more is that it’s a new $421,000 Ferrari 296 GTB, after a year of waiting. He also shared the news on his Instagram, writing “new horse”. In the Instagram post, he shared a picture of him standing in front of the new car, and also of the car key. However, in true ‘Problem Child’ fashion, he managed to break it down on its very first ride.

In the YouTube video he uploaded, Paul goes to the dealership to buy the car. He fell in love with the car at first sight, and he even joked about feeling apprehensive to drive the car. He showed off the car and its features and found it hard to contain his enthusiasm as he did so. Furthermore, he even joked about the car having “the most new car smell” he has ever “smelled“. Excited by the new purchase, he even jokingly started to talk in a British accent as he drove the car.

Moreover, Paul claimed that he is feeling hungry and he wondered “if there’s a donut shop around here“. The video then cuts to Paul performing a drift donut with the new car in an almost empty parking space. However, it seems he seems to have done a bit too much as the car had to be taken back to the dealership. Paul recorded the warnings as he said, “All the systems. I broke the car, guys. Escape system failure; go to dealer. Everything, all the systems came out in the car….Yeah, I don’t know if I was supposed to drive it that hard on the first day. Like, it literally just says: go to dealership.

Paul called his father and discussed the situation. He too said that newly delivered cars should not be subjected to such extreme driving conditions. Ideally, the car should be driven below 5,000 rpm during the initial period to ensure a proper break-in process.
