Electronic damping systems, like the one found of the F50 are currently being employed on regular production Ferraris including the 575M.ĭirect links in the F50’s suspension system yield precise wheel movement. Such a system reduces body roll and stabilizes the aerodynamics around the car. An electronic control unit (ECU) manages damping rates in real time, monitoring lateral acceleration, longitudinal acceleration and steering angles to select the optimum degree of damping. Electronic damper units continually modify the level of damping to suit the many dynamic states of the F50. Damping is an area in which the suspension excels, especially for the technology available during the era. The F50 is suspended via double wishbones with inboard damping and springing. As such, the rear suspension connects directly engine and gear box unit. Behind the rear bulkhead, the engine and transmission unit provide structural support for the car removing the need for a sub frame. Attachment points for both the engine/transmission unit and front suspension are provided by aluminum inserts. Providing a basis for the F50 is a carbon fiber tub incorporating the interior and rubber compound fuel tank. As such, Ferrari made no compromises to comfort when designing the car. Adopting Formula One technology would be a major selling point for the F50. Following the release of a car like the F40 was no easy task and the F50 had to impress. Initially only 279 cars were to be built, but with such a high demand over 1300 examples were sold.įor Ferrari’s fiftieth anniversary, another limited production supercar was planned. In fact, with such blistering performance the F40’s dominance over the supercar market was total. Its performance figures from zero to sixty and top speed remained hard to beat even ten years after production.

There was no radio, carpets, power windows or door panels.Īs released by Enzo Ferrari, the F40 was the fastest road-going car in 1987. Following its race car tradition, few creature comforts were offered in the F40. The car was packed with racing technology including twin IHI turbochargers, a Kevlar reinforced steel space frame and composite body panels. Motivated by the 288 GTO Evolution, the F40 was released to celebrate Ferrari’s fortieth anniversary.

Unfortunately, the Group B series ended in 1987 without a 288 GTO ever seeing action.įollowing the 288 GTO, a second limited production road car was built. This time Group B rally was the target and five distinct GTOs were prepared. Like the original, the 288 GTO was homologated for racing. It was released twenty two years after the 250 GTO which was one of the last great dual purpose road and race cars. The first special-series Ferrari road car was the 288 GTO. To bridge this engineering gap, Ferrari have offered limited production road cars which both reflect Formula One technology and pay for Formula One efforts.

After the sixties, this transition largely contrasted Ferrari’s factory race cars from their road cars.

Ever since the FIA refused to homologate the 250 LM in 1964, Ferrari have focused their motor sport efforts on Formula One.
