A remarkably preserved 1997 Ferrari F50 is set to headline Broad Arrow Auctions’ Las Vegas sale on October 31, 2026, with an estimated value exceeding $20 million. Showing just 106 miles from new, this late-production example offers collectors an extraordinary opportunity to acquire one of Ferrari’s most celebrated analog supercars in near-delivery condition.
Identified by chassis number 107165, the F50 is the 334th of just 349 examples produced between 1995 and 1997. It was delivered new to the United Kingdom through Maranello Sales Ltd. of Egham, Surrey, and retains the original dealer decal on its windshield. Its exceptional preservation extends beyond the odometer reading, with the paintwork, carbon-fiber cabin, leather upholstery, and switchgear reportedly showing minimal signs of aging or handling.
The exterior is finished in Ferrari’s signature Rosso Corsa, complemented by a Nero leather interior with Rosso seat inserts. This traditional specification reinforces the car’s connection to the original F50, conceived to bring Formula 1 engineering principles to a road-going production car.
At the heart of the F50 is a naturally aspirated 4.7-liter, 65-degree V12 derived from Ferrari’s 3.5-liter Formula 1 engine used during the 1990 season. Featuring five valves per cylinder, titanium connecting rods, and dry-sump lubrication, the powerplant produces 513 horsepower and 347 lb-ft of torque. Ferrari claimed a top speed of 202 mph, while contemporary testing recorded acceleration from zero to 60 mph in approximately 3.6 seconds.
Unlike many modern supercars that rely on turbocharging, hybrid assistance, and sophisticated electronic intervention, the F50 delivers its performance through a comparatively direct mechanical package. Its V12 is mounted directly to the rear of a carbon-fiber monocoque, serving as a structural component and carrying the rear suspension. A six-speed manual transmission with an exposed gated shifter completes the drivetrain, while unassisted steering and brakes further emphasize the car’s analog character.
The car’s appeal extends to its accompanying factory equipment, much of which has frequently become separated from F50s over the years. Included are the removable hardtop and its original flight case, a three-piece Schedoni luggage set with dust covers, J.P. Tod’s driving shoes, the original tool kit, and fuse, bulb, and belt kits. Ferrari-branded covers for the car, seats, and steering wheel are also present.
Its history has been researched by Ferrari historian Marcel Massini, while more recent servicing and a Ferrari Classiche inspection add important documentation for prospective buyers. Given the car’s extremely limited use over nearly three decades, its mechanical condition and the effects of long-term storage remain important considerations alongside its exceptional cosmetic preservation
