At the IAA 1995 there was an F50. It is the second F50 ever built. Now the specimen with chassis number 3114 is for sale at RM Sotheby's. The estimated price is between 2.5 and 2.75 million US dollars, converted 2.3 to 2.5 million euros. Three years ago, RM Sotheby's sold an F50 that was previously owned by Mike Tyson.
In return, the buyer gets a super sports car with Formula 1 technology: a 65-degree V12 is installed in the carbon fiber chassis directly in front of the rear axle, which is closely related to the engine that Alain Prost drove in the 1990 Formula 1 season. It is a classic high-revving engine that reaches its maximum output of 521 hp at 8500 rpm. With an unladen weight of about 1200 kilograms, this is enough to go from zero to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds - today, even an Audi TT RS can manage this. But that runs no 325 km/h, is not a twelve-cylinder and reaches by far no 8500/min.
Praise and criticism
For a lap on Ferrari's home track Fiorano, 1:27.1 minutes is enough for the F50 - making it slightly faster than its predecessor F40. Nevertheless, there was no unqualified praise: some people did not like the Pininfarina design, while others found that the F50 did not stand out enough from the F40 in terms of driving values. But it was easier to drive and sounded spectacular, others replied. One thing is certain: In contrast to the F40, the F50 turns into a Spider.
