Petrolhead influencer with car collection including Porsche and Ferrari slams sexist trolls

Livia Gueissaz is a beauty contestant and influencer who also is a huge petrolhead with an impressive car collection - and she's slammed sexist trolls who say she can't like cars

This woman is proving that hobbies "have no gender".

Livia Gueissaz is an influencer and beauty contestant who is currently competing for the title of Miss Europe Continental. But in her spare time, Livia has a passion for fast rides and boasts a huge car collection that includes models such as the Ferrari 512 TR and the Porsche 911 Turbo S - which costs over £100,000.

The model believes getting behind the wheel of a sports car is "like living life to the fullest", and she has some choice words for the trolls who make sexist remarks about her hobby. Even in 2024, some people still tell Livia she can't like fast cars because she's a woman, but she doesn't care what others think.

She said: "Many are still surprised to see a woman behind the wheel of a sports car. But, at the end of the day, the passion for cars has no gender. It's about the experience, the love of engineering and the art of driving.

"My advice to any woman is simple: never let anyone limit your dreams. If something makes your heart beat faster, move on and be proud of who you are."

Livia, from Brazil, also has an Aston Martin in her collection alongside her Porsche and Ferrari, but said her love of cars began with the Ferrari California T, which was her first high-performance vehicle.

She explained: "The first car was a turning point for me. It wasn't just about having an expensive car but about the experience of feeling the force, acceleration and elegance of every curve."

The woman also noted that she always makes sure to keep her vehicles in top condition by strictly following the maintenance advice given by the manufacturers. She views her cars not just as status symbols, but also as a piece of history that she can add to her collection.

"I strictly follow the maintenance programs recommended by the manufacturers and the cars are stored in places with temperature and humidity control," she detailed, "Additionally, it closely monitors oil and water temperatures, ensuring each machine remains in its optimal state.

"Each car, whether classic or modern, it is an investment, not just for its financial value but for the history, beauty and innovation it represents.

"At top speed, I feel like I'm in absolute control, a reflection of the way I face challenges – always accelerating and striving for more. My life is like a high-speed track – I speed towards my goals, but just like driving a Porsche, you have to know when to brake and find balance so you don't get lost in the process."
