While we absolutely love the F50, it’s fair to say that enthusiasts spent the better part of two decades treating the F50 almost like Maranello’s awkward middle child. Growing up, it always felt like the model that was stuck between the sainted F40 and the Schumacher-era Enzo. Of course, the market has now fully come around, with the model’s auction record resetting twice in 2026 alone.
And now there’s a new contender for the throne, a 1997 Ferrari F50 showing just 106 miles and headed for Broad Arrow’s Las Vegas sale.
A Grand Prix Engine Pulling Double Duty
Ferrari pulled the covers off the F50 at the 1995 Geneva Motor Show ahead of its 50th anniversary, and it had nice backstory for the power plant. The 4.7-liter V12 grew directly out of the 3.5-liter unit from its 1990 Formula 1 campaign. And, the block bolts straight to the carbon fiber tub while carrying the rear suspension itself, a setup that’s exactly the same as a Grand Prix car.
Output is 513 horsepower and 347 lb-ft, sent rearward through a six-speed gated manual. There’s no ABS, no power steering, and no brake booster. Even the Enzo that followed went paddle-shift, which technically make this the last Ferrari halo car with a proper stick.
106 Miles in 29 Years
Which brings us to chassis 107165, the 334th of just 349 cars built. Ferrari capped production there on purpose after watching F40 output balloon to 1,311 units. This one went to the UK, and was one of roughly 25 examples sold there through Maranello Sales of Egham. The dealer’s decal is also still on the windshield.
It’s been in storage for nearly three decades, and the odometer reads a ridiculously low 106 miles. And the Rosso Corsa paint, carbon-trimmed cabin, and full accessory suite are all still completely intact and like new. We’re talking the removable hardtop, three-piece Schedoni luggage, and even those untouched Tod’s driving shoes.
Running the Numbers in Vegas
So what’s a never-driven F50 actually worth? The model’s record currently sits at $14,575,000, set by a Giallo Modena 1996 car at Mecum’s Monterey sale back in August, while a 252-mile example cleared $12 million in January. Broad Arrow is betting the room blows past both.
