| Created to celebrate Ferrari's 50th anniversary. The F50 was in 1995, the closest thing to a road-going Formula 1 car that the company had ever built. |
| Given its uncompromising, purist approach to high performance, the F50 was devoid of power steering, power assisted braking and ABS. It made extensive use of sophisticated carbon composite materials, F1-style construction technology and aerodynamics, and the 4.7 litre V12 engine was derived directly from the Formula 1 unit used on the 1989 F1-89. |
| The F1-style suspension was multi-adjustable and could be tuned to suit each customer's performance. Like a racecar, the rear suspension was mounted on a cast spacer between the V12 engine and the gearbox. |
