The F50 Thread

Still awkward for those who only deal with 5 and 0. Ask $5m and be done with it. Plus you would have the honor of buying the most expensive F50 ever!

 

Can you guys please stop talking up the prices - some of us are still yet to buy one.

Why buy 1? Buy 5!

 

I have at least 8 already, but even the 1/12th scale (not pictured) isn't quite large enough.

that White F50 is a delight on wheels... just need stock wheels and even those rims aren't too bad, even if my religion forbids aftermarket parts on a Ferrari

 

I want a euro F50 so bad. I'd get new brakes, a set of black Speedlines, and MS Racing exhaust. And throw in an actual F50 GT alongside it for track use...my dream pair.

 

I have a beautiful 10,000 mile car , lovely condition and superb history which just got serviced this week -1 guy who offered me £1.25M last year saw it again just now at the dealership and offered £1.5M- naturally I told him I'm not interested as I LOVE the way this car makes me feel when I open her up ......I think this was probably a genuine offer ( he has a lovely collection of f and non f cars) but you can never be sure . However I have noticed a general increase in the buzz around f50s in the last year or so - whether it continues into financial uplift over the next few years is obviously pure speculation but my gut instinct is the days of the good quality f50 achieving £2Mill in the UK are probably not that far away ... just my 2cents

 

True - my full service just came in at just £885 ! Got to be extra careful driving her in the uk though as the thrill of the pedal to the floor is so great with the roof off that you can v easily fall foul of the silly new dramatically increased penalties for speeding that have just come into force in the U.K. This month .. be warned ! 😬

 

I met batmain in the toilets there having a leak... took him ages to find his zipper ...😂

 

+1

 

Maybe the 1 who approached me also .....

 

Agreed -to some extent . I prefer the rawness the f50 delivers , v visceral. The enzo driven straight after the f50 feels tamer , less urgent to me at least .

 

Now that's what I call a striptease !! 😂😂

 

The buyer appeared to have multiple agents on the go, so suddenly it felt like the market was on the move.

 

Had my first back to back F50-Enzo drive yesterday. To me, the Enzo transmission is a let down, and while the handling and engine are fantastic, they are not enough to compensate. LaF comprehensively eclipses it as a driving experience. To me, the F50 represents the pinnacle of pure driving joy.

 

Well put

 

Unsurprising, because the F50 is, and will always be, the last manual gearbox Ferrari Supercar, the Grand Finale, the End of an Era.

 

Seemed quite easy to drive ---- I was fortunate enough to drive 1200km (private rally)with one through a country for an entire day.......

 

It is! It's like a lotus Elise turned up to 11. Or maybe even 12...

 

You hit the nail on the head regarding the Enzo transmission, I must say.
When you're pressing on, (or even downshifting) sometimes the clutch re-engagement takes a while and it's sort of "coarse/rough" which means there's a split second of coasting that is scary and I don't feel totally in control.
I get the feeling it could easily lock it's rear wheels under heavy downshifting too..

Love the styling even after all these years and the raw stripped out feel inside too.

 

This has to be one-of-one.

103921 - repainted in Azzurro California for the original owner, Dahr Jamail, in Texas. Several prior threads in this forum discuss its history. After that sale the car was resprayed Rossa Corsa again and for a while retained the unpainted black headlamp housings that it wore when it was blue making it stand out in the crowd. Haven't seen an F50 like that in quite a while so the headlamps may be back to red once again.
