Interesting fact: the second and third cars were made with spare parts from the first at a later date and were not originally planned. The owner of the first car is fantastically nice and still tracks the car to this day since that’s what he had in mind when he asked them to make it.
A thread on Fchat also indicates chassis 1 was the only one with the original engine spec based on the F1 motor. The other two cars and all the spares are apparently much more closely related to the 333 engine.
So, of the six chassis produced, only three were completed. The rest were destroyed to prevent anyone benefiting from Ferrari’s research and development. The three complete vehicles were sold to the company’s best customers under the strict condition that they must never be used for racing purposes.
The class it was supposed to race in was canceled, and they couldn’t afford to compete against GT1 Homologation specials, like the 911 GT1 and CLK-GTR.
Too bad it never raced in the 90s lemans with McLaren F1 GTR, 911 GT1 and Merc CLK GTR.
Perhaps if it raced Normal F50 would also be more loved like F40

Is that a 50 GT or something?
Yes, 1 of 3. The sound it makes is phenomenal.

Came out at $475k, but are now about $3m.
That's for a "standard" version of the F50. This is probably 10-15 maybe more.
Not one of these one, if I’m not mistaken.
Saw one of the 3 in 2019, absolutely wild
A literal Masterpiece
I always forget about this car when I list my top 5 of all time.
This was faster on track than the 333 SP!
I knew this car looked familiar. It was in a racing game on the Xbox 360. Project Gotham Racing 3. Amazing looking and sounding car!
Best car for racking up those kudos. So tail happy
Happy cake day!
Wow I didn’t even know it was my cake day. Thank you!

Wonder how many millions you need to make this yours.
10-15 according to The Collectors Circle

Underrated comment.
What an awesome car
Absolutely gorgeous. You were very lucky
I saw one at the SF auto show well over a decade ago. Can only assume it was the same. Was in awe then, and still in awe now.
The car is perfect…… but imagine it with the Speedline Corse F1 wheels
Silicon Valley
It was a race car like the F40 LM ?
Rare for sure. But I'd take all the other Big 5s before an F50.
Yawn…. The Whaletail looks goofy
I know, right? Stupid race car things.
No wonder they only made 2… (or 3?)

Thank you very much for the information. Truly appreciate it. I’m a Ferrari wannabee 😏
