    Great post!

    I don't think anybody really knows alot about this car other than that it may have been used as a test mule for the MC12 or FXX. I doubt the latter.

    Are these photos you took your self? Any (about 2) pictures I have seen of this car have been at the Ferrari factory. Is this car now in a private collection?

    Cool pics, i have only seen a couple of crappy ones of that car before. It might be the MC12 prototype or something along those lines? I think i remember reading it somewhere on this site.

    What's wrong with the wheels; are the fronts on the back and the backs on the front?

    If it's is truelly breaking 1KHP at the wheel's that must mean it is turbocharged which would explain the single/huge diameter exhuast pipe. Anyway the car is awesome !

    Wow, rare photos. Still ugly, but it looks bad ass.

    I have seen some track shots of the car, but im not sure it was really a turbo.

    It can be N/A.The F50 GT Chassis 001 makes 1000hp at the wheels out of a 4.7L.Can Only imagine a 6.0.I would beleive the turbo thing cuzz of the little auxiliary "radiator".Probly part of the intercooling.

    Well then why everywhere else they are saying all this "1000 at the wheels" stuff.Either way it's sick.I believe the rumoured specs.It looks like a superbeast.

    Can you provide some documentation to support your claim? That's over 200hp/liter AT THE WHEELS. A 4.7L engine would have to be spinning near, or possibly beyond F1 engine speeds to put out that kind of hp.

    I did a quick search and came up with 750hp at the crank for F50GT 001.

    And that cooler on the rear deck could be for the transaxle.

    i think its pretty possible. its an old F1 engine in the back of the F50, enlarged from 3.5 to 4.7 liters, and a bit downtuned offcourse. not sure of the HP of the F1 engines but i believe around 700hp and 13500 rpm. 4.7 liters, +- 10500 rpm could see these figures to i suppose.


    that enzo is pretty astonoshing, i actually love it!
