A 14 Million Shekel Ride: Yael Shelbia's Insane Car
The Israeli model and her partner, a Formula 1 driver, were spotted in Monaco during an unusual ride, but it was the additional passenger she was holding that sparked a heated debate on social media.
Life in the fast lane: Israeli model Yael Shelbia and her partner, the Canadian-Jewish Formula 1 driver Lance Stroll, continue to command attention in Monaco. Since the couple's reunion in April 2026 and their first public appearance at the Miami Grand Prix in early May, Shelbia has become a fixture on the busy Formula 1 circuit, accompanying Stroll to his races. However, this time, it wasn't just the couple that caught the eyes of passersby and social media users, but the luxurious vehicle they were traveling in.
The pair was documented cruising through the streets of the principality in a rare sports car with an estimated value of about 14 million shekels (approximately 3.3 million dollars). The vehicle is an Aston Martin V12 Speedster, an automotive masterpiece developed by the "Q by Aston Martin" personalization division. It features a unique, completely open Speedster configuration, lacking both a roof and a windshield, and includes a central partition separating the driver's and passenger's compartments.
With its open top, breathtaking aesthetic, and signature racing green finish, it is one of the most coveted models in the world, with only 88 units ever produced. Under the hood lies a 5.2-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine producing 700 horsepower, capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds and reaching an electronically limited top speed of 300 km/h.
Beyond the automotive beast and the glamorous scene, the real show-stealer inside the cabin was Tut, Shelbia's small poodle, a gift from her former partner, singer Omer Adam. Seeing the dog held in the model's arms during the ride sparked a storm of online debate. Many users criticized the display, arguing that the dog was being treated like a "fashion accessory" and reminding followers that pets are not design items. Conversely, fans pointed out that despite the breakup with Adam, Tut continues to enjoy a life of pampering and affection from both Shelbia and Stroll. As the son of billionaire Lawrence Stroll, owner of the Aston Martin team, Lance is well-accustomed to the high life and ensures that both his beloved and her pet enjoy a truly premium experience.
