Timeline

The Ferrari F50, produced from 1995 to 1997, is a testament to Ferrari's racing heritage and engineering prowess. It's a mid-engine sports car with a two-seat targa top design, housing a 4.7 L naturally aspirated V12 engine, derived from the 3.5 L V12 of the 1990 Ferrari 641 Formula One car. This engine links the F50 closely to Ferrari's F1 technology, underscoring its racing DNA. Only 349 units were produced, making it a rare gem in the automotive world. Further emphasizing its racing lineage, Ferrari developed the F50 GT for GT1-class racing, featuring significant modifications like a fixed roof, large spoilers, and a tuned engine producing around 749 PS. However, the F50 GT project was eventually shelved, focusing Ferrari's efforts on Formula One, leaving only a few prototypes of this racing version​​​​​​.
