This is a 1995 Ferrari F50. Styled by Lorenzo Ramaciotti and Pietro Camardella of Pininfarina, the F50 is a high-performance mid-engined sports car produced by Ferrari from 1995 to 1997.
Unveiled at the 1995 Geneva Motor Show, the F50 acted as Ferrari's flagship model, replacing the F40 in that regard. The F50 aimed to be "a no compromise car", with "Grand Prix-level construction techniques and aerodynamics". The F50 was advertised as being packed with many technologies derived from Formula One, such as the use of composite materials and a monocoque chassis; its styling was the result of "aesthetics at the service of aerodynamics", due to an apparent need to "find innovative aerodynamic solutions that provide very high performance levels".
The F50 is powered by a 4.7L F130B V12, derived from the 036 3.5L V12 used in Ferrari's 1990 Formula One car, the 641, mated to a 6-speed manual; the engine produces 513 hp. The F50 has a 0-60 mph (97 km/h) time of 3.8 seconds and a claimed top speed of 202 mph (325 km/h). The wheels used on the F50 were Speedline twin spoke center-locking magnesium alloy wheels, with the car having Brembo cross drilled and ventilated cast iron brakes with four piston aluminum calipers and Pagid pads. The car has a removable targa roof which has to be stored in a specific box.
Series production commenced in March 1995 with the first chassis, 103097, delivered in May 1995 to Jacques Swaters (who incidentally also owned F50 prototype 99999); the car was priced at about $450,000. Production ended in July 1997 with chassis 107240; today, the F50 is part of Ferrari's "Big 5" supercars and is worth over $4 million. 349 were produced.
Now this casting was designed by Ron Wong and introduced in 2025. This is currently its only release.
