The Ferrari F50 is a supercar made by Ferrari to commemorate it’s 50th anniversary in 1995. The car is a 2 door 2 seat convertible sports car with removable hard top. It has a 4.7 liter V-12 that was developed from the engine used in the 1992 Ferrari F92 Formula One Car.
There were only 349 of these ever made, which is one less than Ferrari estimated it could sell. This was because, according to Antonio Ghini, because “Ferrari’s are something cultural, a monument. They must be hard to find, so we will produce one less car than the market.”
Following the motorsports theme, to compete in GT1 class racing, Ferrari developed a prototype based on the F50, called the F50 GT. The car had a fixed roof, large rear spoiler, new front spoiler and many other adjustments. Ferrari decided to cancel this project and instead focus on Formula One instead.
The car’s engine features 513 BHP that push the car from 0 to 60 in only 3.7 seconds and to 100 in 8.
