Buy the Ferrari F50 That Was the Literal Model for the Bedroom Posters
Buy the Ferrari F50 That Was the Literal Model for the Bedroom Posters-October 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:49

I’ve always had mixed feelings about the . I feel like it didn’t get the love it deserved because it was overshadowed by the F40 and the Enzo. But also it had a goofy face that I couldn’t quite take seriously. I didn’t have any bedroom posters of it (I was an Enzo fan), but if you did, then here’s your chance to buy the one that wound up on all the bedroom posters.

This particular F50, with a chassis number ending in 99999, is the last Ferrari to have a five-digit serial number and was Ferrari’s show car at many events, including at its official reveal at the Geneva Motor Show in 1995. According to its listing on , the car had been tested on Ferrari’s Fiorano test track and on the roads around Maranello by test drivers like Dario Benuzzi, Niki Lauda, Gerhard Berger and Jean Alesi.

It’s also been the subject of countless factory posters, press photos, stock photos and some lovely cutaway drawings by Shin Yoshikawa. So, if you grew up with F50s posters on your wall, chances are that they were of this car. That part is extremely cool.

As with other F50s, Chassis No. 99999 has a 4.7-liter, 60-valve, naturally aspirated V12 and a six-speed gated manual gearbox. It has only 1,400 miles on the clock.

You’ll have to reach out to Autosport Designs if you want to know how much it is, though, because pricing is on request. Keep in mind that this car went for nearly $1.7 million . That should help you gauge how much it is now.

Richard Petty's long relationship with Chrysler ended with the Dodge Magnum, and in fact for the first time since 1960, Petty racked up nary a single Grand National win in 1978 while driving that car. Today's Magnum comes from that same winless year, but will its price earn the checkered?...

American luxury today lacks the grandeur and optimism of the past, a fact driven by a generation raised with no appreciation for hoods long enough to land a Dreamliner, or the mystique of the opera window. Today's Lincoln Mark V serves as a stoic reminder of what luxury once was,...

2012 Subaru Impreza: First Drive
With off-the-mark fuel economy and iffy styling, the last-gen Impreza found itself behind a couple of curves. Indeed, 41% of buyers who'd considered but didn't choose the previous Impreza cited styling as the reason. But will the change all that? Let's find out. Subaru wanted me to drive the new...

The number 33 appears, unexplained, on the side of beer bottles. It's also the name of both Alfa's gorgeous 33 Stradale and today's 33 Sportwagon. The latter can better the Stradale in carrying home cases of Latrobe's finest, but should it also carry a lower price? Nobody knows beer like...

Jaguar's legendary E-Types are, unarguably, hot cars, but could they also be hot rods? Today's Series I Roadster seeks to find out, but it comes with price that might prove too hot to handle. Wow, yesterday's didn't have a wing and prayer, racking up a massive 95% Crack Pipe loss....

The E10 Cherry was Nissan's first front wheel drive car ever, while its successor, the F10, popped Datsun's front-drive cherry in the US. Today's 1977 F10 Wagon might not be your first choice for a classic Datsun, but will its price make it the last? Yesterday's was the first such...
