    Another celebration of 30 years of the F50.

    Interesting stories (making an F1 car for the road, variants 333 SP & F50 GT, owner’s views, values, comparison to F40).

    Is this tire a new design / compound? Will the design (less the 'legacy tour' script) be available to owners who didn't participate in the legacy tour?

    Yes I believe it was commissioned by Ferrari to replace the old Goodyear Fiorano tyres, so owners can continue to use the cars on newer rubber, and those who paid to go on the tour received a set as part of their care package………. I mentioned last year in this thread possibly, about the F50 owners and specialists should club together to do a run of new tyres but someone provided info regarding the new tyre in development


    More info from Pirelli here. https://press.pirelli.com/with-new-p7-tyres-for-the-gto-pirelli-equips--all-ferrari-supercars/

    Of course one is free to like non-original exhausts which are loud and brash as straight pipes (irrespective of which brand they are).

    I, personally, prefer the original system which allows the true and much more authentic mechanical engine sound (chains, valves…) to harmoniously and more angrily, complement this auditory delight with the sensory vibration resulting from the direct engine-tub mating (again mainly from the inside).

    When Maranello UK asked me to have one of my F50s for Goodwood and I politely declined, I didn’t think that it will be replaced by a fake-painted car with fake exhausts…

    Never and nothing is better than original. I agree 100%.

    I was recently sent some images from inside the Enzo Museum where there is/was a dedicated section to Pininfarina apparently, and the images were from part of tthat display.

    Does anybody have any more information about this car with the F40 style wheels, is this the car seen very early on in this thread ( included these images for reference), or was this a clay model possibly or actual mock-up, on the chassis mentioned.?

    Interesting to see without black hoops in barchetta setup.

    Looks slick without the hoops.

    And the F40 wheels! Different treatment to the front chin... Swoopier profile of the side scoops...

    Would be amazing to see it next to a production F50 :)
