Car Information and Specifications

Although the F50 was shown in prototype form in 1991, it was some time before it emerged as a production car - and then only 349 were built. Of course, the design was changed a lot before it went into production, but some features are the same as on a Grand Prix car.

Inspired by the F40, the F50 was improved aerodynamically, and had its own looks. The fenders sweep rather lower than the centre section of the body, and the headlamps sit behind plastic covers.

There are long air intakes in the flanks of the car, and the neat tail is topped by a high-mounted spoiler. The whole car had a strong wedge line, and was designed to get the air away from beneath the car.

The Ferrari F50 was intended to be a Grand Prix car for the road - but with a sports car body. With a big engine and a carbon fiber body structure it was a fantastic performer. Top speed was 207 mph - just 6 mph faster than the F40, but it carved 2.0 seconds off the 0-100 mph time at only 8.0 seconds, neck-wrenching acceleration.
