Default Ferrari F50 in Stresa

During my Holiday I discovered this F50 near a very nice hotel in Stresa (Italy), it was a nice location, so I took some pictures:

Wow, I agree with everything Jimmy said!

It seems almost like someone left it there just so it could pose for photos...it looks immaculate!

I've been wondering that exact thing for a while. I wonder why people do not like the look of the F50. I can see the price... Jeremy Clarkson said it was one of the ugliest designs...I don't know.

I really believe it is because so few people have ever seen one.

I was at a Supercar rally this weekend. We had 3 F40s, a pair of Enzos, McLaren Mercedes SLR, Zonda, 3 430 Scuderias, several bushels of 360s, a plethera of 430s, TRs, etc. Zero F50s. There was one other F50 owner at the event. He told me he had not driven his in five years.

How could you not drive it in 5 years. I can see every several months if you don't want to put any miles on it, or if you have more sports cars..but 5 years

Somehow missed this thread. Great pics as ever, Peter!

It's amazing, the amount of "presence" this car has. Definitely not 'cute' in my book. That's like saying Arnold Schwarzenegger is cute...


Onno

But I wouldn't call it cute either
