Tamiya 24160 Ferrari F50

The Ferrari F50 is an Italian sports car, the design of which was shared by Lorenzo Ramaciotti from the Pininfarina design studio. The car was first presented to the public in 1995 at the Geneva Motor Show. Its serial production started in the same year and lasted only until 1997. Only 349 copies of this car were produced during this period.

The F50 model was developed to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Ferrari as well as to replace the F40 car in its lineup. It was created based on solutions and conclusions drawn from the operation of the Ferrari Mythos concept car. Compared to its predecessor, it is characterized by many changes. First of all, the design of the exterior and interior of the vehicle were changed. It is also powered by a new drive unit with significantly higher maximum power. Efforts were also made to adapt to normal road traffic as many solutions as possible so far only used in Formula 1 cars. The Ferrari F50 is powered by an upgraded 12-cylinder Tipo F133 engine with 520 hp, which is able to accelerate the car to 325 km / h, from 0 to 100 km / h in 3.7 seconds! This model was replaced in the company's offer by Ferrari Enzo. The price of a used Ferrari F50 is around 1.7 million euros!
