F50 Chassis Counter Packed full of f1 tech, the f50 had a f1 derived v12 and gated manual gearbox and an unusual for the time a removable targa panel. the f50 was the closest you were likely to get to an f1 car for the road. The company sold off the three complete chassis out of the six planned chassis that were built–the test car 001, 002 and 003. chassis 002 and 003 had bodies fitted before being sold.

The lines designed by pininfarina for the f50 bore little in common with any other ferrari model, apart from the satin black finished side indent line and traditional round paired rear light clusters. Built between 1995 and 1997, it was ferrari’s answer to a pure formula one experience in a road legal package. only 349 units were produced, all hand assembled in maranello. what made the f50 stand out was not luxury or comfort—but unfiltered performance and engineering. While 288gto and f40 used carbon fiber composites for bodywork and traditional tubular steel frames for chassis, f50 simply switched to all carbon fiber construction like mclaren f1.

While 288gto and f40 used carbon fiber composites for bodywork and traditional tubular steel frames for chassis, f50 simply switched to all carbon fiber construction like mclaren f1. Ferrari took its "formula 1 car for the street" design goal for the f50 seriously. the best evidence of that can be found in the chassis and suspension. many compromises towards comfort, but which sacrifice performance, were not arrived at in the f50 design. The carbon fiber chassis formed a safety cell tub, like in f1, and only weighed 102 kg (225 lb). inside, all the bare carbon fiber panels were a treat for the eyes as well as the led instrument binnacle. Together they served as a structural member of the chassis and were directly bolted to the carbon fibre monocoque, much in the same way as is common practice on a modern racing car. Chassis 106910 currently displays approximately 12,000 kilometres, and it has been recently serviced in preparation for its offering here. the car is accompanied by desirable ferrari classiche certification that further bolsters its status as a factory authenticated, matching numbers example.
