A Formula 1 Car for the Road The Ferrari F50, launched in 1995, was designed to be the closest experience to driving a Formula 1 car on the road, featuring race-derived technology and a naturally aspirated V12.
Powered by an F1-Derived V12 Engine The 4.7-liter naturally aspirated V12 was based on the Ferrari 641 F1 car’s engine, producing 520 horsepower at 8,500 rpm and 471 Nm (348 lb-ft) of torque.
Only 349 Units Were Built Ferrari deliberately limited production to 349 units, making the F50 rarer than its predecessor, the F40, which had 1,315 units produced.
No Roof – Only a Removable Hardtop Unlike the F40, which was a fixed-roof coupe, the F50 was a targa-top roadster, meaning it had no permanent roof, making it Ferrari’s first open-top flagship supercar.
Monocoque Chassis Made from Carbon Fiber The F50 was Ferrari’s first flagship supercar to use a full carbon-fiber monocoque chassis, reducing weight and increasing rigidity.
No Power Steering, ABS, or Traction Control To keep the driving experience as raw as possible, the F50 lacked modern driver aids, meaning no ABS, no traction control, and no power steering.
0-60 mph in Just 3.8 Seconds The F50’s lightweight construction and high-revving V12 enabled it to accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 3.8 seconds, with a top speed of 325 km/h (202 mph).
Mid-Engine Layout with a Six-Speed Manual Transmission The F50’s mid-mounted engine was paired with a six-speed gated manual gearbox, offering an unfiltered, mechanical driving experience.
Inspired the Ferrari Enzo Many elements of the F50’s design and technology influenced its successor, the Ferrari Enzo (2002), including the mid-mounted V12, carbon monocoque, and race-inspired suspension.
One of the Most Valuable Ferraris Today Due to its rarity, F1 heritage, and analog driving experience, the Ferrari F50 has become one of the most sought-after collector’s cars, with values exceeding $5 million at auctions.

The Ferrari F50 is Maranello’s wildest ’90s hypercar—a 4.7L naturally aspirated V12 (513hp) derived from Formula 1, with a carbon-fiber tub, removable hardtop, and only 349 units made. It’s the last Ferrari to demand real driving skill, with no traction control or ABS.

Exhibition-Only Cars: Never serviced? Fuel system rot = €200k fix.
5. Must-Do Checks
🔧 Mechanical
Leakdown Test: >8% loss on any cylinder? Walk away.
Gearbox Syncros: Crunchy 2nd gear? €250k rebuild.
📄 Paperwork
Ferrari Archivio Confirmation: Non-negotiable.
Service Stamps: Must show annual engine-out oil changes.
Fun Fact:
The F50’s V12 screams to 8,500rpm—but its single-clutch manual is so brutal, even F1 drivers stalled it!
