The Ferrari F50 (1995–1997) is powered by a naturally aspirated 4.7L Tipo F130B V12 producing 513 hp and 347 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. Its construction centers around a carbon-fiber monocoque, with the V12 mounted directly to the chassis as a structural component, while pushrod suspension, carbon-ceramic brakes, and composite body panels help reduce weight.

The F50 was developed with a strong connection to Ferrari's Formula 1 engineering, using a naturally aspirated V12 derived from Ferrari's racing program, a sequentially inspired manual gearbox, and a removable hardtop. With just 349 road cars produced, its limited production, high-revving V12, carbon-fiber construction, and direct mechanical layout have made it one of Ferrari's most significant 1990s supercars.
