Rare Ferrari F50 to be auctioned in 2026

A 1997 Ferrari F50, with just 106 miles on its odometer and in nearly new condition, is scheduled to be auctioned at Wynn Las Vegas on October 31, 2026. The car, with chassis number ZFFTA46B000107165, was delivered new to the United Kingdom and originally sold by Maranello Sales in Egham, Surrey.

F50’s features and rarity

The Ferrari F50 is one of only 349 units ever produced and is highly sought after by collectors. The example for sale is number 334 and is described as being in nearly new condition, including all original accessories like a removable hard-top, flight case, luggage, tools, spare parts, and even dedicated driving shoes.

Engine and performance details

Under the bodywork, the F50 features a 4.7-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine derived from the 1990 Ferrari Formula 1 car. It produces approximately 513 horsepower and 347 lb-ft of torque, sending power to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission with a visible gear shifter.

Estimated sale price and historical context

The auction house, Broad Arrow Auctions, estimates the car could sell for over 17 million euros, potentially setting a record for the model. This would be about 42 times the catalog price of a new F50, which in the mid-1990s cost about 475,000 dollars in the United States or around 400,000 euros.

Supercar market performance

According to Hagerty, the Ferrari Supercars index has exceeded the S&P 500 index by more than 300 points. Since 2019, supercars and hypercars have represented nearly 38% and 32% of auction sales, respectively.
