The F50 is limited to 349 vehicles, and the price range of $480,000-$550,000 is also very expensive. Besides, it is not enough to have money to buy the F50. It is also required that the buyer must own more than two Ferraris, and at the same time, the buyer must have good driving skills and abide by the agreement that the F50 cannot be resold in the short term.
Ferrari also has regulations on the F50, which is the limit of production. The reason is that Ferrari obtained a data based on the sales survey of Ferrari sports cars in various regions: about 700 people around the world were willing to buy the F50 in that year, but in order to maintain the preciousness and rarity of the models, the output must be set at half of the buyers. However, the factory must hold an exhibition in its own museum, so the actual saleable output is set at 349.
● Enzo Ferrari
In 202 1 year, Ferrari introduced Enzo Ferrari, the successor of F50. According to the naming method of the previous two generations, this car should be called F60, but Ferrari people think this car should be named after Enzo Ferrari.
Enzo Ferrari.

The front air intake grille and central protrusion completely imitate the design of F 1 racing car. In addition, the Enzo Ferrari roof is very compact, which can be smoothly retracted backwards to meet the outstanding aerodynamic requirements.
Enzo Ferrari's chassis is made of carbon fiber and honeycomb aluminum alloy, which makes Enzo Ferrari very light. In terms of power, Enzo Ferrari is equipped with a 6.0L V 12 engine with a maximum power of 660 HP and a maximum torque of 657 Nm. With F 1 gearbox, the acceleration time of 0- 100 km/h is only 3. 14 seconds, and that of 0- 160 km/h is only 3. 14 seconds.
At first, Enzo Ferrari was still producing a limited number of 350 cars, of which 349 were for sale and the other was kept in the Ferrari Museum. Enzo Ferrari, which sells for $659,000, has not stopped customers from buying. Later, because the customer's demand was still great, Ferrari produced an extra 50 cars for sale.

The total mass of Ferrari FF is 1.790kg, the acceleration of 100 km is only 3.7 seconds, and the top speed is 335 km/h. The official data shows that the fuel consumption per 100 km is 1.5. 4 L, and the carbon dioxide emission.
FF is a brand-new attempt of Ferrari, which perfectly combines the ultimate driving pleasure with luxury, and perfectly combines passion with comfort. Some people may think that this has lost the racing spirit that Ferrari has always advocated, but I think it is the sublimation of Enzo Ferrari's innovative spirit, which has given luxury GT models more passion and once again promoted Ferrari's racing spirit.
Maserati, another Italian supercar brand, was merged into Ferrari on 1997. Ferrari bought 50% of Maserati's shares, and two years later it bought all of Maserati's shares.
