Jimmy Lin Has A Ferrari F1 Race Car In His Living Room

Everyone knows that Taiwanese singer-actor Jimmy Lin is a really huge fan of cars (especially fast ones) and racing, and it looks like he wants to drive (pun intended) that point home to anyone who visits his high-tech apartment.

Two weeks ago, Taiwanese socialite and Dazzling Cafe founder Janet Yang posted several IGTV clips of herself personally delivering drinks from her beverage brand to her celebrity friends, including Jimmy. Her visit was apparently unannounced as Jimmy was taken by surprise when she showed up at his door and wanted some time to freshen up before letting her in, but Janet insisted that he was already handsome enough.

Sure enough, he looks totally fine for someone who was not expecting to receive any guests that day

Despite being a little self-conscious about his appearance at first, Jimmy was a gracious host and asked Janet and her companion if they wanted to come in and sit down for a while. The 46-year-old was even totally cool with the fact that everything was being filmed, and so Janet’s followers got a brief tour of part of his house.

The entrance hall has a sliding door that opens up to the living room

While this isn’t the first time the public has gotten a glimpse of Jimmy’s place as it was featured on Chinese variety show My Dearest Ladies, there appears to be a couple of fancy new — or at least, previously unseen — additions, most notably the Ferrari F1 race car that’s parked in a corner in front of a video projection of a race track.

Guess those mini models aren’t enough for him

If you’re wondering how Jimmy got that massive thing into his living room, he revealed that it had to be hoisted in with a crane (must’ve been quite a sight for the neighbours). He also explained that the vehicle can’t actually be driven as it is just a shell and does not have an engine or gearbox. Still, as far as decorative pieces go, it certainly qualifies as impressive.

It makes a great backdrop for BBT-drinking shots

Jimmy also let Janet have a look at his PC setup, which has a water cooling system and a curved monitor that is so wide, he can play games on one side of it while keeping an eye on the stock market on the other.

Gotta make enough money to fund his racing hobby

The father-of-three’s love for racing stretches all the way back to his ‘90s pop idol days. He joined his first competition in 1997, formed his own racing team in 2006, and has won numerous championships in China and Taiwan. Two of his sons are even named after renowned F1 drivers, Kimi Raikkonen and Jenson Button.
