More Than $270,000 Were Spent On This Ferrari F50 To Bring It To Tip-Top Shape

Ferrari only built 349 units of the F50 between 1995 and 1997, and car #180 is in search of a new home.

It’s a 1996 model that was shipped new to the official Ferrari dealer in Modena before landing in the hands of a connoisseur, who drove it to several events and enjoyed it until 2015, when it caught the attention of another Italian collector.

In the hands of its second owner, the F50 was spotted at the Monaco Grand Prix two years later, and shortly after, it was submitted for the Ferrari Classiche Certification. Subsequently, it was subjected to a full engine-out restoration by the official Ferrari Service Center in Cadelbosco di Sopra, Italy. The process took around two years to complete and cost more than €250,000 (roughly $275,000 at today’s exchange rates).

This makes it “the best condition F50 in the world”, according to the vendor, Girardo, who has it listed for sale at an undisclosed price. In today’s market, you could land a low mileage F50 for around €1 million ($1.1 million).

Finished in red on top of a red and black interior, the F50 is offered with the original manuals and took kit. It’s powered by a 4.7-liter naturally aspirated V12, derived from Formula 1. Paired to a 6-speed manual transmission, the engine produces 512 horsepower (519 PS / 382 kW) and 347 pound-feet (471 Nm) of torque, which rockets it from 0 to 62 mph (0-100 km/h) in under 4 seconds and up to a top speed of 202 mph (325 km/h).

Designed by Pininfarina, the F50 succeeded the F40 as Ferrari’s flagship supercar before it was replaced by the Enzo, which in turn gave its place to the LaFerrari hybrid.
