In 1995, Ferrari unveiled one of its icons, the Ferrari F50. It was produced until 1997 and only 349 cars left the production line. Although for a long time it was in the shadow of the F40 model, it still found its place in the hearts of car enthusiasts. One of them, a 1995 Ferrari F50, is for sale.
The car is in excellent condition, and the fact that the previous owner kept it at home for many years and did not drive it shows how important the car is. It is finished in Rosso Corsa and is the 8th ever produced with chassis number 103274. It is equipped with a carbon body, Brembo ventilated disc brakes, fully independent double-wishbone suspension with pushrod-operated coil-overs, and has a Ferrari Classiche Red Book confirming its continued presence chassis, engine, transmission and body of corresponding numbers.
Inside, the seats are upholstered in Nero black leather combined with red fabric. Black leather can also be seen on the door panels in combination with carbon fiber, the steering wheel is wrapped in black leather, while the dashboard is covered in Alcantara.
This F50 is one of the most desirable examples of Maranello’s celebrated 50th anniversary hypercar ever seen. It was bought new in 1995 by the director of a marque dealership in Singapore called Hong Seh Motors. It remained there until 2013 when it was sold to the new/current owner in the United States, Texas. The car has been properly maintained, and the fuel bladder, fuel hoses, and clutch inspection were recently inspected, while the auxiliary belt, air filter, fuel and oil were replaced, and the brake and clutch flushed.
The Ferrari F50 is powered by a 4.7-liter F130B V12 engine with 513 hp (382 kW) @ 8,500 rpm and 347 lb-ft (471 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual gearbox. It reaches 60 mph in 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 202 mph (325 km/h). It only has 625 miles on the odometer.
The car comes with a factory purchase order, certificate of origin, export bill of lading, service invoices, and a history by marque expert Marcel Massini. The auction will take place on December 10 and the estimated value of the car is between $5,500,000 – $6,500,000 USD.
