Ferrari's 50th-anniversary halo car, built around a road-legal V12 genuinely derived from the 1990 Ferrari 641 Formula 1 engine.
Entity Overview
The Ferrari F50 is a rear-mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive supercar built for Ferrari's 50th anniversary, powered by a 4.7-litre naturally aspirated V12 derived directly from a Formula 1 engine.
Launched at the 1995 Geneva Motor Show, the F50 was Ferrari's first new halo car developed after Enzo Ferrari's death in 1988, and the company built it to answer a specific, difficult brief: put a genuine Formula 1 engine, chassis philosophy, and driving position into a road car with no compromise. The result was less an evolution of the F40 than a different argument entirely, built from race-car engineering rather than road-car engineering pushed to its limits.
