He has a need for speed — and a lawyer.

Police have finally caught up with a mysterious speed demon who had been illegally tearing up Czech motorways in a Ferrari Formula 1-style car for nearly six years.

The “Phantom Ferrari driver” was followed by cops to a property in the village of Bulk, 37 miles from Prague, where they arrested a 51-year-old man behind the wheel, Czech police said in a post on X.

The distinct car driven by an individual clad in full racing gear has been spotted speeding and evading traffic authorities numerous times since 2019.

Video from Sunday morning showed the car driving around the D4 motorway and stopping at a gas station, the BBC reported.

Footage also captured the reluctant driver arguing with officers that they were trespassing on his property, the outlet reported.

His son later told Czech media that several dozen police cars and a helicopter swarmed the home — blasting the police response as disproportionate to a “supposed traffic violation.”

The man, whose name has not yet been released, eventually agreed to be taken to the police station for questioning and was brought there in his full racing getup.

“He refused to comment on the entire situation when giving an explanation. The police will forward the whole matter to administrative proceedings,” cops wrote.

Police first tracked down the rowdy racer in 2019 after images of him circulated online, but when they located the vehicle, he denied ever driving it on the motorway.

The driver has long been unable to be identified due to a helmet obstructing his face from view.

It is not known if the same individual who stopped in 2019 is the man who was recently arrested.

“He faces a fine in the order of several thousand crowns,” a form of Czech currency, and a driving ban, police said.

Though the car has often been referred to as a Ferrari Formula 1 car, it is technically a Dallara GP2/08 race car developed in Italy. The car is a feeder series for Formula One, the BBC reported.

The post Speeding ‘Phantom Ferrari driver’ finally nabbed after 6 years of evading Czech authorities appeared first on New York Post.
