Summary

Drake celebrated his 40th birthday in New York City with a rare 1986 Ferrari Testarossa Monospecchio delivered curbside to Casa Cipriani

The vintage red supercar was reportedly gifted to the artist by rapper Loe Shimmy with vehicle logistics coordinated by Pole Position Classics

The private Manhattan celebration hosted over 400 attendees alongside an impromptu stage performance by the Backstreet Boys

Ferrari took center stage for Drake’s milestone weekend as the artist received a vintage red 1986 Ferrari Testarossa Monospecchio outside Casa Cipriani in New York City. The rare collector’s car served as the centerpiece surprise during his 40th birthday celebration.

The iconic vehicle was reportedly gifted to Drake by rapper Loe Shimmy outside the party venue. Sourced and hand-delivered directly to Manhattan by classic car dealership Pole Position Classics, the 1986 Testarossa “Monospecchio” stands out as a prized collectible defined by its high-mounted single driver-side wing mirror and factory single-bolt knock-off wheels. Dressed in a sparkling black tuxedo jacket with wide-leg trousers, Drake posed alongside the red vehicle on the street before heading inside.

The automotive delivery highlighted a star-studded event that gathered more than 400 guests at the private club. Attendees were treated to a surprise stage appearance by Backstreet Boys members Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson, and Howie Dorough, who brought Drake on stage to perform “I Want It That Way”. Touching on the milestone during the night, Drake remarked to the crowd that “tonight is just about being alive, staying alive.” Alongside giveaways of Chanel and Hermès handbags, the evening featured a game show cash competition with prizes scaling up to $1 million USD.
