He said that growing up, all he wanted was a nice car and revealed how he developed a love for Ferrari.

"Growing up, all I wanted was a nice car. It equated to doing well," Poulter said during an interview with GQ in 2020.

"My first taste of a Ferrari was a week in an F355, which a friend of mine let me borrow. I’d just got my European Tour card. This was back in 2000 - I was 24, driving around Luton. What an absolutely beautiful car that is," Poulter said.

Apart from Ferrari, he also owns a Mercedes AMG GTS, Mercedes G63, Ford GT, Bugatti Veyron and a Porsche 911 GT2.
