Lots of lovely and exotic cars there but the 288 GTO is still the prettiest. 8)

Forgive me for asking but what car is the red one with the door opened?

sameerrao · 06-18-2007, 06:34 PM

Looks like a Mosler M900.

The white GM jet car looks cool. I saw a saloon bodied version that had a turbine on it do a lap of Laguna Seca a couple years back. It sounded really wierd - I was near the corkscrew and you could hear a jet approaching and all it turned out to be was a 60s saloon car.

Ah allright, thanks Sameer! I had no clue at all!

Nice custom title by the way!

I wonder if we will think the same about the Enzo in let's say 15 years. As far as it goes, seems like the F50 is already "lost" somewhere, always missing in this kind of exhibitions

The scale model looks AWESOME!!!

Thanks for the pics Nth! :good:

The Enzo will have a high value thanks to its relative scarcity which is accentuated by the tendency of its owners to trash about 2 cars a year.

But still it looks garbage to me. Too much techno shit in it. Sounds great though I must say.

Sadly the F50 has been given the short shift by Ferrari enthusiasts. People seem to lusting for the Enzo or F40 instead. Value wise the F50 should be a golden investment. The engine sounds fantastic - as is expected of a detuned F1 V12 engine. Looks are its main problem - it doesnt look wild enough like the F40 or the Enzo. I must say, it looks much better in the flesh than in pictures

I think the problem with the F50 was that it was a slower car compared to the F40. I however, think it's hogwash and would own an F50 in a heartbeat if I could afford it.

BTW, according to a thread on Fchat, there are something like 450 Enzo vin numbers. So maybe Ferrari is jerking it's customers about again?

Also, isn't there less F50's than Enzo's?
