If F40 was for 40th year of Ferrari, F50 on the other hand is for its 50th anniversary although celebrated a little bit early. And if F40 was the closest thing to a racing car in the ‘80s, F50 is in the ‘90s. Revealed at the 1995 Geneva Salon, F50’s total productions – only 349 units – was also revealed.
