The Ferrari F50 is one of the most iconic supercars of the 1990s. The model was created to mark the 50th anniversary of the Ferrari brand and built on the success of the legendary F40. Unlike its predecessor, however, it relied on technology derived directly from Formula 1.
Under the carbon-fiber body lies a 4.7-liter naturally aspirated V12, based on the Ferrari Tipo 641 engine used in Formula 1. It produces 520 koní, which is transmitted to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission.
This particular lot from RM Sotheby’s is sure to catch your eye:
- classic Rosso Corsa paint
- with a Targa-style removable roof
- carbon-fiber monocoque
- a minimalist, driver-oriented interior
Ferrari produced only 349 units, one less than the estimated demand. It is precisely this exclusivity, combined with technology derived from Formula 1, that makes the F50 one of the most sought-after Ferraris among collectors.
Estimated price: 5,500,000 – 6,500,000 €
The Ferrari F50 is considered today to be one of the purest analog supercars in history—no turbochargers, no all-wheel drive, and no unnecessary electronics. It is a Ferrari in its most authentic form.
