This car is a two seat convertible with a removable
hard top, and was built to celebrate the 50th anniversary
of the Ferrari brand. The 60 valve V12 engine was
developed for Formula One racing, and had previously
be used in the Ferrari 333 SP in the IMSA series.
There was a racing variant of the F50 called the
F50 GT. Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson routinely mocks
this car for reasons that are unclear, as he champions
the far less refined F40. He would probably enjoy
the following website, which has pictures of crashed
F50's.
350 of these cars were produced, and it can be a
challenge to find one for sale. They will show up
on eBay a couple of times each year, with a final
price that hovers in the mid six figures, depending
on condition.
