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 hp, which is transmitted to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission.
