Regarding the Ferrari F50

Through the Geneva, Switzerland engine Show in March 1995, Ferrari revealed their brand new F50. Filled up with Ferrari's latest automotive technology, gleaned from their present Formula-One race expertises, the F50 have been designed to be a "street-legal rushing maching" in truest sense of the word. This Ferrari's incredibly rigid center monocoque section have been fabricated from hi-tech carbon fibre composites. The engine/gearbox unit is firmly bolted to this monocoque and works as a load-carrying element, just as on their F-1 rushing machines. The typically aspirated 4.7 liter V-12 cylinder engine makes use of five valves per cylinder and yields a great 520 horsepower at 8,500rpm. The 6-speed synchromesh gearbox transmits this tremendous power efficiently and efficiently on rear tires. The F50's dual wishbone suspension system is from the electronically handled shock absorbers via pushrods, to give you maximum road keeping performance. The Pininfarina designed body shell was indeed purposely sculptured for exemplary aerodynamics, yet keeps Ferrari's main-stream automotive elegance. The framework underside is wholly flat, with upsweep through the buttocks which will act as a diffuser. Utilizing a removable roof, created from composite product, the automobile could be became a "Barchetta" (open-top) or "Berlinetta" (coupe). Ferrari's top models have all been destined to be real automotive legends and so the F50 will be no exception.
