Ferrari F50: The 1990s Formula 1 Icon

The Ferrari F50 stands as a defining icon of the 1990s, conceived to celebrate the Italian marque’s 50th anniversary by translating the spirit of Formula 1 engineering directly to the road.

Powered by a 4.7-liter V12 engine developing 520 horsepower, the supercar features a carbon-fiber monocoque and a competition-derived architecture that firmly cement its status among the most emblematic models bearing the prancing horse badge.

Automotive enthusiasts and visitors can experience this legendary machine firsthand as part of the "D'HIER À AUJOURD'HUI" exhibition, running through September 13, 2026, at the Collection des Automobiles de S.A.S. le Prince de Monaco.
