Twin-turbocharged 800bhp Ferrari F50 for sale

One of the world’s fastest modified motors is for sale on Auto Trader – an 800bhp Ferrari F50 supercar.

The super-rare Ferrari F50 was produced in the mid 1990s and came fitted with a 520bhp 4.7-litre powerhouse.

But this Ferrari F50 has been boosted to produce a massive 800bhp – making it one of the fastest cars in the world.

The convertible F50’s trademark V12 engine has had two turbochargers with adjustable boost pressures bolted on, and is fitted with an upgraded exhaust, electrics and intercoolers to stop it from melting.

And this engine work has meant the drop-top Ferrari – widely considered to be the finest driver’s Ferrari ever built – can accelerate from 0-60mph in just 3 seconds.

This makes it nearly a second faster than the standard F50 and half a second faster than the Ferrari Enzo.

And the car’s 800bhp makes it more powerful than the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren and Porsche Carrera GT, and puts it on a par with the 806bhp Koenigsegg CCX.

The modded F50 also features upgraded brakes, suspension, and 3-piece ‘BBS’ style alloy wheels, while the interior has been stripped to reduce weight and improve handling and acceleration.

The Ferrari F50 was built to celebrate the company’s 50th anniversary, and just 349 models were built between 1995 and 1997.

Ferrari spokesperson Antonio Ghini once said: “Ferraris are something cultural, a monument.

“They must be hard to find, so we will produce one less car than the market.”

And now you can bag one of the world’s rarest and most powerful cars for £395,000 – with just 2,000 miles on the clock.
