There are not a lot of people that actually drive their legend. But this owner of the Ferrari F50 does what you have to do with a great car, drive it. It was 2011 that this F50 was spotted for the very first time and since this car has been spotted in Italy and Switzerland. Created to celebrate Ferrari’s 50th anniversary, the F50 was at that time the closest thing to a road-going Formula 1 car Ferrari had ever built. And it is a joy to see it been driven on the road!
Given its uncompromising, purist approach to high performance, the F50 was devoid of power steering, power assisted braking and ABS, but made extensive use of sophisticated composite materials, F1-style construction technology and aerodynamics. The F50 was the Ferrari “extreme machine” of the nineties taking over the mantle from the F40. As with the F40 it was also a celebration model, this time heralding fifty years of Ferrari as a car manufacturer, albeit in reality a little early. At the unveiling of the new model at the 1995 Geneva Salon, Ferrari President Luca Di Montezemolo stated that only 349 examples would be produced, one less than they thought that they could sell.
