WOW this is a legendry car and FINALLY there are new pictures of this car! High resolution too!! must see! http://www.fast-autos.net/gallery/f50gt?page=1
VashTheStampedeI have always liked this car for some reason, but I need bigger resolution than 1024x768. Too bad my laptop runs 1680x1050 resolution and needs like a 1600x1200 resolution. :sigh: But do I love having the widescreen resolution and the clarity it offers.
thanks a lot dude..... got a good pic of a bmw m3 on my destop now... laterspimp racerthere is places that have it that big you just have to search.
Welll i dont think i know of anywhere with F50gt images that big but in the meantime this will have to do the F40 LM (incase you were wondering what LM stands for its stands for Loudmusic.)http://www.highresautoimages.com/1600/ferrari/f40lm.html
No problem man.Middle Manthanks a lot dude..... got a good pic of a bmw m3 on my destop now... laters
Nah. It look weird. But I think the design is horrible.pimp racerI dont like the rear wing when you see a picture of it from the back or at an angled top view but from the front it looks a bit cool.
It don't seem like a true ferrari look to it.pimp racerHmm... What is it that you dont like about the desigin? EX. THe front bumper or the rar or the mid frame something like that.
DarinIt don't seem like a true ferrari look to it.
AvenixI dont want to make a big deal out of this, but this is as true as a ferrari can get.. This ferrari was lapping faster then the ferrari 333sp.. look that car up and then you will realise that is no small step...
This car has been crashed twice , the first time it was sent back to ferrari with frame damage which had to be fixed. this took a long time, as there are no molds for this car because they were destroyed after the 3 examples were made.
The car crashed again , recently after an accident and laguna seca, this time only the shell of the car was damaged, and they dont expect the repairs to be long on it.![]()
DarinI'm not doubting its fast. And if its quicker than the F33SP, oh damn no doubt its fast. But it leaves me with the question.
Why didn't Ferrari use this car for endurance racing?

The F50 GT would be over run. The LeMans cars today would punish it like nothing. But it would be a treat to see.pimp racerBecause they suck and dedicates probably most of their money to F1. I would LOVE to see this in anytype of edurance race!

pimp racerWHOA DUDE WHAT THE HEL! only 383.5 amout of tourque!
Torque 520.0 nm / 383.5 ft lbs @ 8000 rpm
VashTheStampedeYour point being? Not every car needs 8000lb-ft of the twisty stuff. It is not like the car really needs it down low, as it will never spend any time down low in the revs; in fact, it will be spending most of it's time around the 10,500rpm redline where it will need the torque that it produces. And if you look at where the torque peaks at, 8,000rpm, then it will pretty much always be right there in the bulk of the torque. Not only will it be spending most of it time right around that part of the rev range, but you also have to look at the weight of the car. The F50 GT weighs in at 2005 lbs. So less torque will be needed to propel the car just as quickly as one that weighs more.
And have you not noticed, but most Ferrari cars are like this. Their cars have a shorter stroke; meaning less torque, but also more revs and thus more horsepower. Horsepower is much more important at this point; if the F50 GT would have been taken to Le Mans, then it probably should have had a very good top speed down the Mulsanne Straight because of that extra horsepower created by the sacrifice of some of the torque.
And am I not the only here that thinks Ferrari probably know what they are doing when it comes to cars? Ferrari is very successful with their well backed programmes, i.e. Formula 1. So unless we actually knew what the car could have been capable of, only then could we judge if that so called lack of torque would have meant anything.
I think the lack of extreme amounts of torque and having the shorter stroke--thus giving the abilitry for many more revs--would make for one hell of a beautiful sounding scream. I can only imagine how much of a screamer that wonderful Ferrari V12 would be.
pimp racerno 8000 would be too much but i mean if it was like 486 or something then it would be a bit quicker.
