After the Ferrari F40 opened the ball, the supercar market began to bubble. All sports car manufacturers had to offer one in their catalogue. Jaguar struggled to bring out its XJ220, Buggati attempted a renaissance with the high-performance EB110, Lamborghini unveiled its Diablo… The Ferrari F40 had (and still has) the particular flavour of being the last Supercar developed under the direction of Enzo Ferrari himself when he was still alive. Of course, this in no way detracts from the qualities of the later models, but the fact that Enzo Ferrari himself was responsible for its development adds a magical touch. Known under the code name F130, the Ferrari F50 takes its technical base from the Ferrari 330 SP, which raced in IMSA in 1994. The engine and composite chassis are taken directly from the Ferrari racer.
