"I remain convinced this is the most ambitious car Ferrari has ever made." - Chris Harris
Following the iconic Ferrari F40, the F50 faced one of the toughest challenges in the history of the supercar.
With a 6-speed gated manual gearbox mated to its N/A F1-derived V12, working in harmony with the full-carbon tub that cradles it intimately behind the driver, the F50's drivetrain offers a mesmerising supercar experience, and is in no way any lesser than the F40's.

I grew up with Lamborghini Murcielago, Diablo GTR, First Gen Viper, McLaren F1, Ferrari F50, Porsche carrera GT, Pagani Zonda F, Bugatti Veyron... Not to mention Original top gear show and the Beautiful age of Formula 1. Along with racing games like Need for speed. IT WAS THE GOLDEN AGE. Now it's just....

I remember back in the 90's ( 1998 maybe ? ) when we stopped in Germany in a petrol station. August, beautiful weather. There was a red Ferrari standing there, a few ppl around it , admiring it. The owner comes out of the shop, steps into the car. Starts it up and slowly at idle almost starts driving away from the petrol station. Once he was clear of the cars, he absolutely hammers it trough 3 or 4 gears, sprinting towards the autobahn. Most glorious thing I've heard in my life.

If you think about it from a driver's perspective, it's just a given. An amazing old school Ferrari V12, lightweight chassis, pure and analog, engine mounted as a stress member so you can *feel* the revs, targa roof panels so you can *hear* all of that exhaust, spiritual evolution of the near-perfect F40 with a better engine and better overall build and finish. Plus some fitted luggage so it has the ability to do a weekend trip or something. The 288 and F40 I love so much but they're compromised and no where near as visceral. The Enzo I love but it's full of dated tech and has a let down of a gearbox.

The F50 has always been my absolute favorite car since I was 5yo when it released, and as time goes by, my appreciation for it only keeps growing. It's one of the ultimate naturally aspirated screamers, it's pure and raw but still refined at the same time. And those lines, the way the wing integrates into the profile, nobody topped that yet.

Anyone disappointed by this video, because he can't stick it to a car that's for sale, wanting to see Chris actually drive a F50 (and a F40) like they should be driven, should look that video he references in the end up. It's called "Ferrari F40 v Ferrari F50. Like You've Never Seen Them Before /CHRIS HARRIS ON CARS". Go watch him have fun in cars that aren't up for sale, and where he's told to give them the big one. It's a fantastic video.

First memory of this car was as a 13 year old playing Need For Speed 2.

Nice throwback to your old video at the end there when you got to drive both cars hard on a circuit that day.

@@robertopiedimonte2078 Mclaren? Performance without background??? The founder raced in formula 1 in the 60s and then made his own team. It's one of the most successful teams in Formula 1 history! They then used their knowledge to build arguably the defining hypercar that held the top speed record for nearly 2 decades, until a car with almost twice the horsepower came along to brute-force it. (oh, and it was originally styled as a Seat prototype race car, look it up!) Lamborghini? Enzo wouldn't sell him a ferrari, so he made his own! The Muira and Countach are some of the most iconic cars around. It's very existence is a middle finger to Ferrari, which I kinda love...and that V12 is legendary, especially in LP640 guise in the Murcielago! Alfa are very much a shadow of their former selves. Anyone who still idolises them is stuck in the past. Ever since the 80s, they've struggled to produce decent cars. They may have the odd flash-in-the-pan moment of brilliance (Giulia QV, 8C competizione, 156 GTA, 164 QV etc) but their hey-day is long gone. They haven't competed in motorsport for decades (their current F1 outfit doesn't count as it's just a badging and commercial exercise with Sauber)

It came out in the shadow of the F1 and didn't seem to know what it wanted to be. It really needed to be smaller, about 200 kg lighter, and much more visually tight to really be a worthy successor to the 40. Still, I'd have one of these over a 40.

I think it's perfect. The thing nobody talks about with the F1 is that it's quite understeery thanks to how much power it has. The car had more power than its 90's tires could handle, so McLaren softened the rear suspension to make the car more manageable (and in so doing, unfortunately, ruining the handling balance). The F50 has the perfect balance of power and grip. It could be a bit lighter, yes, but otherwise, it's perfect.

@@flyingphoenix113 that's the reason why I said I'd have one over a 40. It's just not how the supercar game was played. Really, it still isn't. Who's got the biggest "knob"? If the 50 had matched the size and weight of the F1, along with being properly pretty, there would have been no question as to it status.

@@R03333, I think that's why they're rarely driven hard unless it's on a track with lots of runoff. It's just too valuable to risk an accident. That said, the mixture of sudden onset understeer and snap oversteer have mated quite a few F1s with the nearest compatible tree. 😬

The f50 is almost getting up there with the f40 for me. I was gutted when it first came out that it wasn’t faster than it’s rivals and took a real dislike to it. When the f40 came out and hit 200mph it blew everything else away. But the xj220 and mclaren f1 soon had it beat on top speed. I was so looking forward to the f50 to put Ferrari back on top again. But it was only about 1 mph faster than the f40 and I was gutted. However time has passed now and none of that matters and I can appreciate the f50 now for the masterpiece that it is. Better than an f40 though? Hmm maybe give me another few years to appreciate it more

A curiosity that few people know is that with a few adjustments every F50 can produce more than 700hp like the GT version and with this it has an even higher top speed than the GT! Still take the F40 but the F50 is close!

I was fortunate to not really know much about the F40 when the F50 came out. I was just getting into cars at 8 years old, and got a miniature 1:18 F50. Still have the model, and along with the Lamborghini Diablo, it's the car that made me fall in love with the Italian supercars. Still absolutely thrilled to see the F50 in real life, while the F40 doesn't do all that much for me.
