Ferrari F50 Legacy Tour Celebrates 30 Years
Ferrari F50 Legacy Tour Celebrates 30 Years of V12 Perfection
An Iconic Supercar Honoured Across Europe in a Landmark Celebration
In 2025, Ferrari enthusiasts and collectors around the world are uniting to celebrate a remarkable milestone: the 30th anniversary of the Ferrari F50, one of the most iconic and revered models in the marque’s legendary history. To honour this momentous occasion, Ferrari has launched the F50 Legacy Tour, a prestigious and emotional tribute to the raw, unfiltered brilliance of the V12 supercar that bridged the gap between Formula One technology and road-going performance.
A Supercar Born from Formula One
Unveiled in 1995 to commemorate Ferrari’s 50th anniversary, the F50 was far more than just a successor to the F40, it was a purebred machine, designed to bring the essence of F1 to the road. Powered by a 4.7-litre naturally aspirated V12 derived from Ferrari’s 1990 Formula One car, the F50 produced 513 horsepower and could scream up to 8,500 rpm. Combined with a six-speed manual gearbox, carbon fibre tub, and open-top design, the car delivered one of the most visceral driving experiences ever offered.
Only 349 units were produced between 1995 and 1997, making it one of the rarest and most collectible Ferraris of the modern era. Its blend of innovation, performance, and exclusivity solidified its status as a legend in the supercar world.
The Legacy Tour: A Moving Tribute
The Ferrari F50 Legacy Tour 2025 is a multi-day event organized by Ferrari’s Classiche division, bringing together owners, collectors, and enthusiasts from across the globe. Kicking off at the Maranello headquarters in Italy, the tour is retracing some of the most iconic European routes that highlight the F50’s racing spirit and grand touring capability.
The route spans across the Italian Alps into Switzerland, and then through southern France—culminating with a spectacular showcase at the Circuit Paul Ricard, where the cars will take to the track in a celebration of speed and design.
Highlights of the tour include:
Exclusive access to Ferrari’s Maranello facilities, including the Classiche workshop and private archives.
Concours-level presentation and judging, with awards for originality and condition.
Track sessions and dynamic driving experiences, allowing owners to unleash the F50’s full potential in a controlled environment.
Private gala dinners and heritage exhibitions, celebrating Ferrari’s racing history and design evolution.
Owners Reunited, Stories Shared
With over 40 F50s registered for the tour, nearly one-eighth of the entire global production, this event marks one of the largest gatherings of the model in history. Owners from North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East have shipped their prized vehicles to Italy to take part.
Many of the cars on display still bear their original spec, while others show signs of tasteful restoration under Ferrari’s Classiche programme. Among them are notable chassis with Le Mans or celebrity provenance, offering a rare glimpse into the car’s journey over the decades.
A Tribute to a Purist Era
The F50’s 30th anniversary comes at a time when the automotive world is increasingly dominated by electrification and digital control systems. The tour, then, is more than a celebration—it’s a tribute to an era where mechanical purity reigned supreme.
As Enrico Galliera, Ferrari’s Chief Marketing Officer, remarked during the opening ceremony:
"The F50 represents a golden age of engineering—a car built not for convenience, but for connection. Today we honour that philosophy, and the passionate community that keeps it alive."
Looking Ahead
With the F40, F50, Enzo, and LaFerrari now forming Ferrari’s “Hypercar Holy Quartet,” the F50’s stature continues to rise. Its raw performance, limited production, and direct lineage to Ferrari’s racing DNA make it a cornerstone of any serious collection.
The Legacy Tour concludes with a commemorative book and film documenting the entire journey, to be released later this year by Ferrari Classiche. For collectors and enthusiasts, this is not just a trip through Europe, it’s a drive through time.
