    That's a wanna be add on from the GT racing series. I believe 1 F50GT car was made but never raced. Sold on the condition it could never be raced professionally by its owner.

    I think there are 3 F-50GT's. That yellow F50 though is only a modified one that is in Paris (or Monaco?). There have been a handful of pics of it at various events. Ask AMenasce, he'd know.

    That's not an F50 guys...the scale's ALL wrong..I'd say it's a snorkel back to the Fiero motor! LOL!

    You are not crammed in like that driving an F50, IMO...

    It's a real one. Ive seen alot of talk about it on this board. No one really seems to know anyhting about it though besides it actually does make a pretty impressive amount of Horsepower. (Forgot the exact ammount.)

    I saw this car in person. Its Stephane Ratel ex F50. tuend by an Italian specialist , it has around 620 hp.

    I think Mr Ratel ( The R of BPR championship.., he 's the current organizer of the FIA GT champ ) sold it.

    That car owns to an italian man that i think lives in Monaco. His the owner of an important factory. He has also one or two enzos.
    His name is Garbagnati, raced in the 360 challenge and he won a lot, now he raced with the 360 GT if i remember. That car is a normal F50 prapared to Motor o something like that in Modena. It has 620hp without that black thing on the top, with that the engine can make 700hp. He has a red botton in the steering wheel and he can change gear without pressing the pedal, like rally cars. I red it some years ago in an italian newspaper

    Maybe it's Koenig? (non turbo)...in their site they mention an air scoop option and also a powershift feature for the non turbo car...

    There are still no F50s in Canada right? Could one import a 1995 model after 2010?

    I know there's one F50 in Canada. I'm 100% sure.

    Did the owner modify it? A few years ago the local dealer said they are illegal due to bumpers I think.

    I saw the F50 at the Mont-Tremblant village in 2002. It didn't look modified....

    But like you said I think its not street-legal. The owner only drives it on the circuit Mont-Tremblant (he owns the Mont-Tremblant circuit).

    PS: Here are some pics I took when I saw it. The pics are terrible... sorry.. I was having problems with my camera plus the batteries were almost dead.

    Wow I forgot to say something....''djcavalino''(f-chat member) has ridden in the F50 on the streets of Montreal when the car first arrived at Luigi's Ferrari dealer. So its street legal I guess.
    I should check with djcavalino.
