enzo1317 Report post Posted July 18, 2008 I was going through some old car pics on my computer and came across some of the F50 GT. I know there's not much love for the F50 around here, but I always thought the GT was pretty cool. Anybody here ever seen one in person/ have any experience with them? Where are they nowadays?

Kevin2772 Report post Posted August 4, 2008 I absolutley love that car. I assume its not street legal is it?! Or is it like the F40 LM's and such that were just a more race prepped street version? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFilipinoStig Report post Posted August 5, 2008 I'll show love for the F50. It's not very popular (most are F40 fans). I've always been impartial to the F50. The GT is just sickening fast. Too bad Ferrari couldn't get it off the ground... for various reason... Would be interesting to see how it'd par against several cars, namely the Enzo, CGT, F1, Zonda.

Smash Boy Report post Posted August 28, 2008 Interesting notes on the F50 GT1: 1. Sequential Transmission - 6 or 7 speeds, I forget. 2. Was going to be raced but discontinued after it outlapped the 333 SP at Fiorano by several seconds......being upstaged by a race version of a street car isn't good! Legendary car indeed.

TCT Report post Posted August 29, 2008 2. Was going to be raced but discontinued after it outlapped the 333 SP at Fiorano by several seconds......being upstaged by a race version of a street car isn't good! Not to downplay the car (as it is one of my favorite Ferrari failures that still created an epic car) but it was build a day late and a dollar short. My understanding is the F50GT would not be able to compete at all within the revised GT1 class and Ferrari didn't want to put the $$ into further R&D. Thus, it was scrubbed. I don't recall it was not developed because Ferrari claimed it was faster than a 333. There were 3 complete cars built and it is believed Ferrari still has spare tubs...thus more could be built.
