Dutch firm Ugur Sahin Design has reimagined the Ferrari F50<\/a>. Dubbed Project Fenix, the concept was created to celebrate the firm’s 15th anniversary.<\/p>\n

The design’s integrated basket-handle rear wing and black body line are clear references to the original F50, but its larger front air intakes and slim headlights and taillights are more modern touches.<\/p>\n

The original F50 was a mid-engine two-seater with a targa top, but it’s unclear from the renderings if Ugur Sahin retained the targa roof for Project Fenix.<\/p>\n

Ugur Sahin Design Project Fenix Ferrari F50 tribute<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ferrari launched the F50 in 1995 as the successor to the F40. Just 349 were built in a production run that lasted through 1997, and Ferrari also fielded a GT racing version<\/a>. The F50 was in turn succeeded by the Ferrari Enzo.<\/p>\n

Ugur Sahin didn’t mention what is underneath its supercar concept’s transparent engine cover, but the original F50 was powered by a 4.7-liter V-12 that made 520 hp and 347 lb-ft of torque, and was related to Ferrari’s F1 engine at the time. The F50 could get from 0-62 mph in 3.7 seconds and a 202-mph top speed, according to period estimates. Those are still respectable performance figures today.<\/p>\n

It’s unclear if Ugur Sahin plans to turn Project Fenix from a design study into a working car, but the company has overseen a handful of coach-built supercars. It previously teamed up with U.S. tuner Mallett on a small batch of Chevrolet Corvette “Z03” coupes, and the Corvette-derived Anandi<\/a>. In 2014, Ugur Sahin also unveiled a Ferrari 458-derived concept called the Project F<\/a>, although it didn’t immediately get any takers for a production version.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
