Ferrari F50

The Ferrari F50 is a mid-engine sports car made from 1995–1997. The car is powered by a 4.7 L naturally aspirated Tipo F130B 60-valve V12 engine that was developed from the 3.5 L V12 used in the 1990 Ferrari 641 Formula One. Power is 512 hp and 347 lb⋅ft at 6,500 rpm through a 6 speed gearbox. Succeeding the turbocharged F40, the naturally aspirated F50 is a monster. Just 349 F50s left the factory gates, making it rarer than the fabled Enzo. With the mid mounted V12 bolted onto the carbon-fibre chassis, the F50 used cutting-edge technology.

The F50 wasn't appreciated as a highly sought after ‘halo’ Ferrari supercar at first. Things change and today the F50 is a required car in any Ferrari collection.

The Ferrari F50 has been described as an 'F1 car dressed as a road car.' A 1996 Ferrari F50 with 13,500 miles changed hands this spring for $2m.
