A rare Ferrari F50 finished in Giallo Modena has shattered auction records, selling for $9.245 million and becoming the most expensive F50 ever sold. Only two examples left Maranello in this color, making it a true unicorn in the supercar world.
Originally delivered to fashion icon Ralph Lauren, this F50 is one of just 55 built to U.S. specifications. It was sold in 2003 to a Virginia couple, who held onto it until this weekend. With fewer than 5,400 miles on the clock, Ferrari Classiche certification confirming originality, and recent servicing that included a new fuel bladder, tires, and brake components, the car was presented in impeccable condition.
Until recently, the F50 was often overshadowed by the F40 and Enzo. But demand has surged, reflecting the model’s unique character: a Formula 1-derived naturally aspirated V12, 349-unit production run, and a purist driving experience. From my perspective, this sale cements the F50’s new status as one of the most coveted Ferraris, with collectors recognizing its rarity and historical importance.
