Though only a little over fifteen years old, the Ferrari F50 is already a classic as it typified everything Ferrari had been in its 50 year history to that point in 1995. The car itself reflects all that is Ferrari, everything that Ferrari has come to be known for throughout the years, as well as, everything that has come to be expected.
Every part of Ferrari was on display when Piero Lardi Ferrari and Sergio Pininfarina unveiled the car to the world at the 63rd Geneva Auto Show. As Luca di Montezemolo was quoted as saying when he introduced the car, 'Fifty years of racing, fifty years of winning, fifty years of hard work.' With that statement he explained the F50. The past, present and future could all be seen or imagined in the car.
Almost every facet, or department, that is Ferrari comes through every single one of its cars. This is because Ferrari doesn't just produce cars and components merely for racing. What is developed for the track, eventually makes it into its company's road going machines as well. It provides its owner the unique experience of owning not merely a concept sports car, but one that has already proven itself out on the race track. Each one of the company's cars provides its owner the opportunity to take to the road in a car that just as easily could take to the race track and win. This was never more typified than with the F50. In the F50, the world could witness Ferrari's sports car racing history running throughout its design, and this was part of the car's appeal.
The bodywork design bore some resemblance to its predecessor, the ever popular F40. Ferrari drew also on some other already existing technology when it came to the engine. First of all, Ferrari used technology derived from its Formula One team. Then, the stock V-12 had already been used as the powerplant for its 333SP in the American IMSA series. This engine was chosen over the twin-turbocharged V-8 that had been utilized in the F40. To accommodate this change, the design of the chassis was enlarged slightly to make room for the 520 bhp, 4.7 liter V-12.
Drawing from its experience and talent for making road cars, the F50 came with the ability to either be a Berlinetta, closed coupe design, or, the hard top could be taken off to become a Barchetta, open-top car.
While the gated gearshift was traditional Ferrari, new technology of the day was employed in conjunction. Almost everything was computer controlled, but adjustable according to a certain mission profile. All of the instrument displays were displayed by LCD and controlled by a microcomputer.
Many other advancements in technology came and met together with classic Ferrari design in the F50. Virtually every component, such as the gearshift, benefited from new technology although still retaining classic Ferrari detailing. The bodywork design drew from past Ferrari lines and styling, but the entire body was comprised of carbon-fiber and weighed less than 230 pounds. The F50 was the first time in Ferrari's car production history the engine, gearbox and differential assembly acted as a load bearing structure and bore an incredible similarity in layout to that of its Formula One cars. Even aircraft-style rubber fuel bladders were used within the chassis.
The Ferrari F50's longitudinal gearbox was another similarity with its Formula One brethren and could help deliver the car's incredible power to the wheels so that it could cover a mile in 30 seconds and could go from 0 to 60 in merely 3.7 seconds. The quoted top-speed of the F50 was 202 mph. It offered a truly remarkable driving experience that was far from forgettable. Its incredibly light chassis and abundance of power made it roar off the line, throwing its passengers into the backs of the seats. The 520 bhp meant the power and acceleration kept coming. Its double wishbone suspension and large Brembo brakes ensured that it cornered and handled in a way reminiscent and worthy of its Formula One pedigree.
The F50 was truly a remarkable car and a worthy example to demonstrate Ferrari's 50 years of motor racing and car manufacturing experience. Every F50 held a place of honor and is good reason why 349 would be built and sold. Yet, there is one F50 that holds an even greater place of honor and esteem.
That one F50 that holds greater honor and esteem is the one that crossed the auction block at the RM Auction in Arizona in 2011. It is the last five-digit chassis numbered Ferrari in the world and it is the one that introduced the F50 to the world audience in Geneva in 1995!
As with all other F50s, chassis number 99999 boasts a 520 bhp, 4.7-liter V-12 engine, six-speed longitudinal transmission, four-wheel independent suspension and large four-wheel Brembo hydraulic disc brakes. The braking power on this, and all F50s, was so good it allowed Ferrari to scrap the idea of worrying about using ABS. As expected, the car comes with a Rossa Corsa red finish and literally looks and performs like, as some commentators have said, 'a Ferrari F1 machine with a second seat and a sports-car body.'
Ferrari dealer, Jacques Swaters of Belgium, purchased the car and it has actually been driven less than 900 miles since it was debuted back in 1995. Speaking of drivability, the F50 uses a Bosch Motronic 2.7 unit to control fuel injection and ignition. When used in conjunction with the car's ECU, Ferrari was able design two different length exhausts. One helped with top-end performance, while the other helped create the greatest amount of torque from the engine. The ECU balanced all of this in order to have the least amount of backpressure in the exhaust system. And because it used technology and components used in its Formula One program, the car's V-12 was more than capable of turning 10,000 RPM. Surprisingly, this computer-controlled exhaust system even made the car able to pass California's strict emission laws.
Chassis 99999 was sent all over the world to be Ferrari's 50th anniversary ambassador. Even today it still performs that role with almost absolute perfection. The car is ready to be re-unveiled as a prominent feature of any car collection. And, it should retain a prominent place in any collection as it is a captured conglomeration of everything Ferrari.

This example was constructed in September 1995 and was just the 10th example completed during the limited 349-car production. It is one of only 56 US-specification models ever built. It was assigned factory assembly no. 20331 and sent to the US in late 1995, destined for the California market. It was sold new through Ogner Motorcars of Woodland Hills, California to its first owner.
The car has been driven less than 485 miles. It retains its factory hardtop, carbon-fiber hardtop crate, owner's handbooks, tool kit, and luggage set. It rides on its original Goodyear Eagle F1 GS Fiorano tires.

Admittedly, that isn't saying a whole lot—Enzo cared very little for road cars, and allowed their production only to provide income with which to run his famed racing operations. The F50, though, was about as close to a street-legal racecar as could be had in the mid-1990s, and surely Enzo could have seen past the (very) few comfort concessions to the hard-edged track weapon beneath.
Enzo Ferrari's preference for racing cars was deeply rooted in his past. Enzo's first successful career was as a racing driver for Alfa Romeo in the 1920s. Enzo went on to establish his own successful racing team, Scuderia Ferrari, where he proved his natural abilities as an organizer of racing activities and not just as a driver. Scuderia Ferrari was responsible for running Alfa Romeo's racing activities for several years. It was closed in the late 1930s, though, when Alfa thought it best to revert to an in-house racing program in order to more effectively compete with Auto Union and Mercedes-Benz, both of which were receiving massive funding from a German government bent on proving its superiority in motorsport.
After the closing of Scuderia Ferrari, Enzo founded Auto-Avio Construzioni to undertake engineering work. He built a factory in Maranello for his new company, but World War II intervened shortly afterwards and the factory was bombed.
Following the war, Enzo understandably wanted to reenter the world of auto racing to which he had long been connected. It was then that Enzo founded the now famous Ferrari brand of sports and racing cars, and by 1947 the company was racing with a new design called the Ferrari 125.
The early history of the Ferrari brand, and the later history for that matter, was filled with victory after victory after victory in motor racing. Unfortunately, competition was very expensive and was not profitable even for very successful teams. Enzo Ferrari continued to focus his efforts on winning races instead of winning customers with his few road cars, and this tendency brought his brand close to the brink of bankruptcy. Fiat intervened in 1969, taking over Ferrari and ushering in a new era in which road cars were produced in greater numbers in an attempt to make money for the financially crippled brand.
Enzo Ferrari, then, was a tragic hero in the tale of his company, nearly spelling the brand's end because of an admirable yet stubborn refusal to compromise his racing efforts. Enzo's passion for racing cars was evident until his death, and it allowed the Ferrari name to remain a symbol of competition excellence even after Fiat's takeover.
So while Enzo never held road cars in the same high regard as racing cars, he surely would have appreciated the F50's uncompromising link to Ferrari motorsports technology.
With the possible exception of the McLaren F1, the Ferrari F50 came closer to being a true Formula One racer than did any of its production car contemporaries. The Ferrari F50 was built to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Ferrari, and it followed a similar recipe to the brand's 40th anniversary special, the F40. Both cars were precision tools designed to forge a road-going link to the Ferrari competition legend. The F40 was powered by a potent twin-turbo V8, but for the F50 Ferrari opted for a more familiar power plant: the naturally aspirated V12.
Reinforcing the F50's ties to F1 racing, the car's engine was derived not from another Ferrari road car but from the company's 3.5-liter F1 mill from 1990. An oversquare design with an 85mm bore and 69mm stroke, the 65-degree V12 displaced 4.7 liters. It used a cast iron block with aluminum, 5-valve cylinder heads. Dry sump lubrication was employed, and the engine had an 11.3:1 compression ratio. The motor was mounted longitudinally behind the cockpit, and was mated to a 6-speed manual transmission that, also mounted longitudinally, sat behind the engine.
An impressive output of 520bhp was produced at the F50's 8,500rpm redline, and 347ft-lbs of torque was realized at 6,500rpm. That power enabled a 0-60 time of about 3.6 seconds, a quarter mile time of 12.1 seconds, and a top speed in excess of 200mph.
The F50 chassis was a carbon fiber tub that incorporated the engine as a stressed member. The body panels, also carbon fiber, were unstressed. Extensive use of carbon fiber kept the curb weight below 3,000lbs, despite the car's large, powerful engine and great structural rigidity. Ferrari initially planned to offer both closed (Berlinetta) and open (Barchetta) versions of the F50, but instead only one model was offered that combined the virtues of both through the use of a removable hardtop.
The suspension and braking systems of the F50 were just as impressive as the advanced engine and body construction. Double wishbones were used at all four corners, with springs and dampers mounted inboard and actuated by pushrods to reduce unsprung weight. The dampers were electronic, and they constantly adjusted damping levels to provide driving characteristics appropriate to a multitude of different settings. Further, no rubber connections were used in the suspension, ensuring ultimate handling precision at the cost of ride comfort. Fat tires, mounted on center-lock Speedline wheels constructed of magnesium alloy, ensured that grip was tenacious enough to take advantage of the excellent suspension design.
Braking was accomplished by vented discs squeezed by four-piston calipers constructed of aluminum. To aid communication between car and driver, no anti-lock braking system was offered. Even power assist for the brakes was omitted to ensure that the F50 responded to driver input with perfect accuracy.
Clearly, the F50 did not make many concessions to driver comfort. One of the only traces of luxury came from seats and pedals that could be adjusted to place the driver in his or her optimal driving position, but even this was done to allow more thorough exploitation of the car's abilities and not to cosset the owner. The Pininfarina-styled F50 looked exotic and exciting, but not because of superfluous curves or gimmicky design flourishes. Instead, it featured a tightly wrapped skin that covered up the advanced mechanicals with a purposeful shape perfected by the wind. At top speed, the F50 could generate over 400kg of downforce, yet it maintained a reasonably low coefficient of drag of 0.372. In short, there was not a single stray line on the F50.
Despite its obvious ties to Ferrari motorsports heritage, the F50 was never raced by the factory. An F50 GT was developed with the intent of building a dedicated GT1 endurance racing car based off of the F50, but, when the BPR Global GT Series became the FIA GT Championship in 1997, Ferrari decided to abandon the project and focus its resources elsewhere. Nevertheless, three F50 GTs were produced: one prototype, and two for special customers.
The Ferrari F50 was produced from 1995 to 1997, with 349 examples built. Only offered in five colors (two of which were red), the F50 could be painted Rosso Corsa (bright red), Rosso Barchetta (dark red), Giallo Fly (yellow), Nero (black), or Argento (silver).
With its race-derived technology, purposeful appearance, and telepathic connection to the driver, the F50 was one of the most advanced and capable cars of its time. Would Enzo have warmed up to the idea of a road-going Ferrari with the heart of a Formula One racer? We'll never know what Enzo would have thought of the F50, but surely this prancing horse would have looked right at home in his stable.

In its early days, over 50 years ago, Ferrari built cars which could be used, wîth only a few minor alterations, for Formula 1 or Sportscar events or everyday on the street. However, as Formula 1 cars evolved, it became impossible for someone who was not a team driver or a collector capable of passing a series of private tests on the track, to take the wheel of a racing Ferrari. Ferrari decided to again give all its clients the chance for this experience. The F50 was the response to this technological challenge. Thanks to the research made possible by Ferrari's vast experience in this field, producing over 45 racing models and over 120 GT and Sports models, the F50 was built to the same tolerances and wîth the same integrity as a Formula 1 car. The carbonfiber monocoque that enclosed the aeronautical rubber fuel tank, the V12 engine that acted as a load-bearing structure for the transaxle-rear suspension assembly, the pushrod suspension, and separate hand-braking system are formed on the basic principles of a racing car projected into the dimension of normal, safe use in all situations. The result was a car wîth a specific power output of 109 HP/litre and an extraordinary chassis that combined unbeatable performance wîth exact handling and ultimate safety even in unexpected or extraordinary circumstances. Design
The F50 was designed solely for its purpose: there was no styling in the normal sense of the word. The surfaces enveloped the mechanicals in a single sweep from the front air intake to the rear spoiler, volumes were kept to the minimum required by the project. Pininfarina succeeded in designing shapes that recalled the great prototype racers.
Aerodynamics played an important role from the beginning of the F50 project because: it was a highly advanced car in terms of performance; there was a link between the internal aerodynamic components (cross-flows) and surface layer flows; there needed to be a balance between aerodynamic loads in the dual configuration (Berlinetta and Barchetta) because of the high performance.
The body was built entirely from composite materials wîth carbon fiber, Kevlar and Nomex honeycomb molded in one of five available colours: red, red Barchetta, yellow, black and grey Nurburgring. On the Berlinetta version, the function of the integral hard top was to complement the structural elements. On the Barchetta version, the bodywork element incorporated the anchor points for two roll hoops. The engine was visible through part of the transparent, vented engine cover.
The chassis of the F50 was made entirely of carbon fibre, weighing 225 lbs and offering a torsional rigidity of 25,677 lbs-ft/°. Like a Formula 1 car, occupants sat in the central tub formed by the chassis, and the aeronautical rubber fuel cell was located in a protected position between the passenger tub and the engine and rear suspension. The result was in advanced driving position, wîth a front to rear weight distribution of 42:58. A load-bearing element, the F50's engine acted as a support for the suspension, rear bumper and bodywork elements. To guarantee perfect suspension operation, the engine-transaxle assembly was rigidly attached to the chassis.
The suspension and engine-gearbox assembly were mounted via low-fatigue light alloy inserts co-polymerized to the chassis. To optimize the structure that made up the fulcrum of the entire system, even from the safety viewpoint, finite element calculation techniques were employed, using programmes that included sandwich elements and multi-ply shells, typical of laminated composite structures. Engineers and designers had to solve problems of the long-term stability of dimensional and structural elements. Tests were carried out on computerized vibration benches.
Drivetrain In keeping wîth its brief as a Formula 1 car for the street, the F50 employed a naturally aspirated 4.7 liter narrow V12. The block was in nodular cast iron wîth Nikasil-coated liners. The seven main tri-metallic-bearing crank shaft was propelled by Mahle-forged aluminun pistons via titanium Ti6al4V alloy connecting rods. Lubrication was dry sump wîth water cooling. The Bosch Motronic 2.7 engine management system combineed electronic injection and static ignition.
The cylinder head had five radial valves per cylinder. This is an ideal solution for engines capable of high speeds that close valves pneumatically. The five valves (three intake and two exhaust) were smaller and therefore the flutter speed was raised above 10,000 rpm. A five-valve arrangement makes it possible to achieve a high degree of permeability of the intake ducts. The valves were driven by four overhead camshafts. The intake system was of the variable geometry type. The F50 was fitted wîth an insulated stainless steel exhaust system. A throttle valve driven by the Motronic control unit made two exhaust system lengths available, one was tuned to achieve the best torque values, the other was tuned for better performance at top speed and full load by reducing the back pressure on the exhaust.
The 6-speed longitudunal Ferrari gearbox was designed for short stroke rapid engagement. The synchronizers were ZF twin cone. The gearbox had a manual control wîth lever, selector fork and rod, and rigid shaft fitted on sliding couplings. The knob was in composite material.
The differential was of the limited-slip type, wîth a differentiated lock percentage in drive and release. The hydraulic actuated clutch was of the dry twin plate type wîth self-centering thrust bearing. A water-oil heat exchanger kept oil temperature constant. The gearbox housing was made of magnesium alloy.
Suspension The length of the locating arms was chosen to keep track and camber changes to a minimum. The front and rear suspension had wishbones and reaction arms that act on spring and damper by way of a push-rod system. The dampers were specially developed by Bilstein. To guarantee the setup and maximum precision in wheel movement over the ground, all the joints linking the suspension to the chassis were rigid, as they are on racing cars. On the rear axle, the suspension arms were fixed to an intermediate element between the engine and the gearbox which acts as an oil tank, as it does in Formula 1. The length of the arms improved the contact between the wheels and the ground, considerably reducing sweep and improving roadholding. The hub carriers were made of a special hot-forged aluminum alloy, which increases rigidity and significantly reduces weight.
The front track was wider than the rear to promote understeer. The spring and damper control mechanism was linked to an electronic damper control system, managed by ECÚ based on lateral acceleration, the §teering angle and longitudinal acceleration. Great care went into the definition of performance in terms of soft and hard handling. The damping control software processed the information received from a series of sensors mounted in the car. This resulted in the best damping in all conditions to optimize contact between wheel and ground, reducing the variations in ground load. Variations due to acceleration were also controlled by the system that reduced bodyshell movement to stabilize the aerodynamic efficiency and guarantee directional stability. Damping was also varied according to speed, independently of this system, making for greater comfort and improving performance at higher speeds.
Cast entirely in aluminum alloy, the §teering box of the F50 was the fruit of many years' cooperation wîth TRW.
Racing achieved its most extraordinary progress in the field of braking. The F50 offered the braking of a racing car wîth a system designed in cooperation wîth Brembo to incorporate four cast iron discs splined directly on the aluminum hub. The calipers were in alumimium wîth four large ground cylinders, like those used on Formula 1. The braking system was sized so that it would not need servo-assistance or ABS. Cooling was guaranteed by dynamic air intakes front and rear.
The rear wheel assembly, including Titanium hubs, incorporated a Ferrari Formula 1 patent. This system reduces the number and weight of components, and allows extension of the axle shaft reducing power absorption.
The F50's single-piece Speedline wheels were made of a special magnesium alloy wîth single-nut central attachment. The choice of a size of 18'x81/2' at the front and 18'x13' at the rear, was dictated by the choice of large brake discs and low profile tires. Goodyear designed a special racing-based 'Fiorano' tire specifically for the F50 in 245/35ZR18 front, 355/30ZR18 rear.
Interior 
The interior was designed wîth efficient functionality, ergonomics, and safety in mind. The multi-sized composite seats were upholstered in Connolly leather and special 'transpiring' material. The driving position was fully adjustable, including the pedals - the control pads adjusted to the driver's shoe size - wîth an F1-type heelrest. The gear shift was the classic Ferrari unit, wîth gated selector, lever, and knob all in composite. The rearview mirror was shaped to improve visibility in both roof configurations. All controls were specially designed to guarantee ergonomy, and the environmentally-friendly climate control unit was designed for maximum comfort even when the car is open.
For racing use, the car has an FIA standard roll bar and 4-point seat belt attachments. The straight forward instrumentation emulated the system designed for contemporary F1. The instruments were managed entirely by an 8-bit microcomputer. The main LCD display had 130 elements and was lit by electro-luminescent bulbs. The major functions were the rev-counter and mileage counter. A panel of tell-tales was positioned to one side, wîth numerous ideograms representing various alarm signals. It also included a statistics bank incorporating a crash record that memorizes the various use and mission profile parameters of the car, a function that is similar to the concept of telemetric techniques. The gear engaged was calculated by matching engine rpm to the car speed, and is displayed on the panel.
50 years of know-how was integrated into the design of this vehicle. 'It will be impossible to do it again,' said Luca di Montezemolo, Ferrari president.
Designed with huge forward air intakes, low-slung with sleek lines leading to the rear airfoil, the F50 is a 12-cylinder, 4.75-liter engine. With the ability to achieve from 0 to 60 miles in 3.7 seconds, the F50 banks a top speed of 203 mph.
Based on a Formula One engine, the F50 was built and designed in Ferrari's factory in Maranello, Italy. Only 349 models were built, though studies clearly showed a market for 350 such vehicles. Considering it a challenge that would appeal to only the most devoted die-hard Ferrari fans, the F50 had to be difficult to find, and a challenge to own.
Only 50 models were sold in Italy, Germany and the United States. The rest were sold in Asia and other parts of Europe. Available by lease only, the F50 was leased ONLY to factory approved individuals for a $240,000 down payment, monthly payments of $5,600 for 2 years and with a final payment of $150,000. This price did not include the $1350 freight tax, sales tax, $36,240 luxury tax, and $7,700 gas guzzler expense.
The F50 is a supercar, like its predecessor the nearly $1,000,000 F40 (designed to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Ferrari and the last model introduced personally by Enzo Ferrari).
Goodyear manufactured the tires for the F50, the exclusive Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-Fiorano. Handling the most difficult responsibility of the vehicle, the tires' superior handling is a direct result of the 1.1g+ grip.
Designed and built by Speedline, the wheels consist of magnesium alloy that features a single nut central attachment.
With no Antilock brake system, engineers felt that size of the brakes compensated for the lack of this standard equipment found on lower priced cars. With no servo assist, trained drivers were dependent on their ability to effectively control braking without any type of electronic assist.
The styling and design of the F50 is credited to Pininafarini in the traditional Italian way.
The F50 had no sound system, the most obvious reason for this design being the level of noise inside the vehicle, at full acceleration measurement is taken at extreme 104 dBA. There is no airbag, and the glass side windows are manual.By Jessica Donaldson
