There are few things more baller than a Ferrari, and few things more Ferrari than winning. So when Kobe Bryant swung by Maranello, it should come as no surprise that the gates opened wide to let him in.

Kobe’s a man who should require no introduction. The recently retired LA Laker has five NBA championship rings to his name, was twice named MVP of the NBA Finals, and has played in the NBA All-Star game 18 times.

He’s one of the leading basketball players of our time, then. He’s also caught the attention of cars fans back in 2008 when he released a video that showed him “jumping” over a speeding Aston Martin.

While at the Ferrari factory, he took the chance to drive the F12 TdF around the famed Fiorano test circuit, and took a GTC4Lusso out on the open road. More than anything, we’re surprised he managed to fit his six-foot, six-inch frame into one of the Prancing Horse marque’s supercars. No word on whether he ordered one up for himself, but apparently he was particularly interested in the customization options offered by the factory.
