1995 Ferrari F 50
To the 50th birthday (2 years too early) Ferrari brings this car as an attempt to a synthesis between Formula 1 and road vehicle, well knowing, that this is at this time nearly and in the future almost impossible. Just the
second seat beside the driver's seat, the base product changed considerably. The engine of course, must keep more than one race. While it has 5 valves per cylinder, but its number of cylinders, performance data and
speeds are miles away from those of Formula 1 miles. It can not be the same, because then it not only would have to be inspected every 2000 km, but also be revised.
Nevertheless, the car has some typical race car features. Thus by far not everyone who has the necessary cash can buy this car. Condition is said that already two Ferraris are in the garage, the buyer for the plant is known
and the car will not be sold in the foreseeable future. Obviously one wants (for whatever reason) that this car will be demanded according to a race car. For this probably its electronics is designed. It saves a lot of data,
which for example can be read out during each inspection. Do not grieve, if you should not belong to the elect. It is said that one can burn with this car in an afternoon a set of tyres for about 4000 €, custom-made by
Goodyear.
It is at a hand-crafted series of just 350 units even a special car. But if you look closely, you'll find a lot of racing technology. The passenger compartment is made of carbon fiber and directly connected with the engine as
part of the chassis. what for a "normal" car would mean unbearable noise and vibration transmission. The movements of the wheel suspensions are transferred to lying spring-damper elements vis push rods. These are -
for the time unusual - electronically controlled. Also above the suspension are the stabilizers. The traction control is not responding only on drive-/ braking influence but also to load in the curves, which is installed however
in newer vehicles even without racing context.
