^^^ yes - quite surprising indeed :?

So there're more Rosso Barchetta than black?? :?

... and there is one white in Japan as well!!

There is a thread on fchat about this - these are the colours of cars that left the factory originally.

There is also talk of extra F50s made after the first 349 :shock: I certainly didn't know that

What about this - from an F50 owner (and Dingo's mate)

I suppose I have a vested interest in F50's, so I tend to file away anything that I come across. Way back in 2000, Marcel Massini wrote a VERY comprehensive 4 part series on the S/N's of F50 production. In those articles he listed 368 cars with known S/N's. There were an additional 30 cars where the S/N wasn't known at that time. So that makes a potential total of 398 F50's.
Additionally, there are apparently as many as four cars that share S/N 99999, all of them prototypes.

I wonder how many Enzo's they REALLY made? Were any RHD examples built for favoured clients?

So 398? :?

I'm not sure about his thoughs on RHD Enzo's - never spotted AFAIK :bah:

I think Ferrari had to satisfy its most loyal clients so they say it is limited to 349 but they produced more, who can verify ?? :wink:

Very interesting. My favorite is the yellow, but I had no idea about the white-ish being available.

If you mean Argento Nurburgring, then it's actually metallic sliver :wink:

I tend to believe what he says, that guy knows his stuff (ferrari history)! He could (did) chew my ear off about all things F50, and hes done his research. :)

^ Well as an owner, he has no reason to talk shit like some others - it is interesting that Ferrari proffesses to make a limited edition car, then builds a further 50 cars - a bit sly for a large company, but it's a charming feature IMO :good:

They also realize that it would be incredibly hard for anyone to track down the true number. And who knows- as someone stated, maybe they had 50 more people they owed political/financial favors to. Besides- its an extra $25million for Ferrari to pocket.

Unfortunately I don't think Ferrari make 100% profit on each F50. :wink:
