The Ferrari F50 is Ferrari's hypercar from the mid-1990s, built in 1995-1997 with a factory-installed production of 349 cars worldwide. It is the direct successor to the factory-installed F40 (1987-1992) and the predecessor of the factory-installed Enzo (2002-2005) in the Ferrari hypercar lineage. The package includes factory-installed naturally aspirated 4.7-litre F130 V12 (factory-installed directly derived from Ferrari's F1 engine from the 641-1990 F1 programme) with factory-installed 520 hp and factory-installed 471 Nm, factory-installed manual six-speed gearbox, factory-installed exclusively rear-wheel drive, factory-installed carbon factory monocoque chassis (factory-installed Ferrari's factory-installed first regular production Ferrari with factory-installed carbon factory monocoque), and factory-installed targa specification (factory-installed removable roof panel). For collectors the F50 represents Ferrari's factory-installed pure factory-installed F1 culture in a regular production specification and the most factory-installed uncompromising hypercar of Enzo Ferrari's direct heritage. A Ferrari F50 is not sold to just any buyer; it is passed on to someone who knows the factory-installed Ferrari F1 V12 culture.
Ferrari unveiled the F50 in March 1995 at the Geneva Motor Show as a successor to the factory-installed F40 (1987-1992). The F50 was built to mark Ferrari's factory-installed 50-year factory-installed anniversary (Ferrari was founded in 1947 by Enzo Ferrari, factory-installed the 50-year anniversary factory-installed falls in 1997 which factory-installed coincides with F50 production). The design objective was factory-installed explicit: factory-installed building factory-installed the most factory-installed uncompromising hypercar possible with factory-installed direct factory-installed F1 technology. For collectors the F50 represents Ferrari's factory-installed pure factory-installed F1 culture in a regular production specification, positioned above the F40 in factory-installed technical factory-installed complexity and factory-installed positioned below the F40 in factory-installed pure factory-installed driving experience (factory-installed F40 has factory-installed turbocharged engine with factory-installed dramatic factory-installed boost response, factory-installed F50 has factory-installed naturally aspirated F1 V12).
The central technical point of the F50 is the factory-installed F130 naturally aspirated 4.7-litre V12 - factory-installed directly derived from Ferrari's F1 engine from the factory-installed 641-1990 F1 programme (factory-installed Alain Prost factory-installed World Championship battle against factory-installed Ayrton Senna and factory-installed McLaren-Honda). The factory-installed F130 is factory-installed reduced from factory-installed 3.5 litres (F1 specification) to factory-installed 4.7 litres (factory-installed production specification, factory-installed improved torque for road use) but factory-installed retained the factory-installed F1 architecture: factory-installed VANOS variable valve timing, factory-installed individual throttle bodies per cylinder, factory-installed shorter intake manifold, factory-installed factory-installed lighter pistons, and factory-installed redline factory-installed 8,500 rpm. The result: factory-installed 520 hp and factory-installed 471 Nm of torque. For collectors the factory-installed F130 represents the most factory-installed direct factory-installed F1 engine in a regular production Ferrari ever built.
The F50 has factory-installed Ferrari's factory-installed first regular production Ferrari with factory-installed carbon factory monocoque chassis. The factory-installed chassis is factory-installed directly derived from F1 technology with factory-installed factory-installed carbon factory monocoque (factory-installed kevlar overlay for factory-installed structural protection), factory-installed factory-installed pushrod aluminium suspension (factory-installed F1-derived), and factory-installed factory-installed lighter materials. For collectors the F50 represents factory-installed the first moment in Ferrari's regular production line where factory-installed carbon factory monocoque technology was factory-installed standardised. The factory-installed factory-installed carbon factory monocoque architecture was factory-installed further developed in the factory-installed Enzo (2002-2005) and factory-installed since then factory-installed standardised in factory-installed all modern factory-installed Ferrari hypercars (factory-installed LaFerrari, factory-installed Monza SP1/SP2, factory-installed Daytona SP3).
Total production of the F50 was factory-installed 349 cars worldwide, produced in 1995-1997 at the Ferrari Maranello factory. The factory-installed market allocation was: factory-installed Europe around 175 cars, factory-installed US around 55 cars (factory-installed officially sold in US via factory-installed Ferrari North America), factory-installed Asian markets around 80 cars (factory-installed Japan around 50 cars), factory-installed rest of world around 39 cars. Production was factory-installed exclusive for factory-installed existing Ferrari customers via factory-installed invitation-only allocation. Additionally Ferrari built factory-installed two unique factory-installed F50 GT specifications for factory-installed BPR Global GT Series racing (factory-installed never factory-installed used for factory-installed official racing due to factory-installed series destruction).
The F50 has seen a substantially strong appreciation curve since 2010. Well-documented F50 examples in factory specification sit in a substantially high price tier. Factory-installed non-red F50 specifications (factory-installed Giallo Modena, factory-installed Nero, factory-installed Argento Nürburgring, factory-installed Rosso Barchetta) are substantially scarcer and higher priced. For sellers this means a well-documented F50 with proven service history at Ferrari Maranello or recognised specialist, original factory specification, and Ferrari Classiche certification attracts substantial international interest.
The F50 is factory-installed limited to factory-installed 349 cars worldwide, produced in 1995-1997 at the Ferrari Maranello factory. For collectors confirmation of factory-installed production batch via factory chassis number and Ferrari Classiche certification is essential. Production was factory-installed exclusive for factory-installed existing Ferrari customers via factory-installed invitation-only allocation.
The F50 is available in factory-installed five factory-installed colours: factory-installed Rosso Corsa (factory-installed signature F50 colour, factory-installed around 90% of production), factory-installed Giallo Modena (factory-installed around 8 cars), factory-installed Nero (factory-installed around 4 cars), factory-installed Argento Nürburgring (factory-installed around 3 cars), and factory-installed Rosso Barchetta (factory-installed around 2 cars). For collectors factory-installed non-red F50 specifications are substantially scarcer and higher priced.
The factory-installed F130 V12 (factory-installed naturally aspirated, factory-installed 4.7 litres, factory-installed 520 hp, factory-installed redline factory-installed 8,500 rpm) is factory-installed directly derived from Ferrari's F1 engine from the factory-installed 641-1990 F1 programme (factory-installed Alain Prost and Nigel Mansell era). For collectors factory-installed F130 condition is substantially value-driving. Document factory-installed VANOS service, factory-installed oil consumption status, and factory diagnostic report.
The F50 has factory-installed Ferrari's factory-installed first regular production carbon factory monocoque chassis (factory-installed not shared with factory-installed F40 which had factory-installed kevlar and factory-installed steel chassis). The factory-installed carbon factory monocoque specification is factory-installed directly derived from F1 technology. For collectors, factory-installed carbon factory monocoque condition and factory-installed factory chassis certification are essential.
The F50 has factory-installed unique factory-installed targa specification with factory-installed removable roof panel (factory-installed can be factory-installed manually placed or removed, factory-installed with factory-installed storage in the factory-installed boot). In factory-installed open configuration the F50 is factory-installed Roadster specification; in factory-installed closed configuration the F50 is factory-installed closed Coupé. For collectors, factory-installed roof panel condition and factory-installed factory sealing condition are essential.
Ferrari Maranello-recognised service is essential. For F50: factory-installed F130 V12 service (factory-installed VANOS, factory-installed oil consumption status), factory-installed manual transmission service, factory-installed limited-slip differential service, factory-installed carbon factory monocoque condition inspection, factory-installed Brembo Carbon Ceramic Brake status, and factory-installed factory-installed electrical system condition.
For F50 collectors low mileage (under 20,000 for regular model years, under 10,000 for factory-installed low-mileage examples) is substantially value-driving. Number of previous owners, factory-installed market version (factory-installed Europe, factory-installed US, factory-installed Asian markets), factory-installed Ferrari event participation, and geographic distribution are value-adding.
Note: These factors may influence buyer interest. Value depends on many factors.
