Last week, we reported on the \u2018Ferrari F50 Legacy Tour\u2019,<\/a> a 30th anniversary celebration that gathered 20+ examples of the V12 supercar from around the world for a scenic drive through the Tuscan countryside in Northern Italy. The Tour ended in the brand\u2019s hometown of Maranello, complete with a lap around Ferrari\u2019s<\/a> iconic Fiorano circuit. But among the sea of Rosso Corsa (red) and Giallo Modena (yellow) F50s, there was one that stood out.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finished in an understated Argento N\u00fcrburgring,<\/a> this 1997 Ferrari F50, painted in silver from the factory, is 1-of-4 out of the 349 units Ferrari built. This ties it with Nero Daytona (black) for the rarest road-going F50 color ever produced. Rosso Corsa remains the most popular with Ferrari delivering over 302 units in the vibrant red, followed by 31 in Giallo Modena and eight in Rosso Barchetta (dark red). It is worth noting that the Ferrari F50 GT, with only three in existence, is even<\/em> rarer, but that is a purpose-built race car that isn\u2019t street-legal.<\/p>\n

Coming to this particular car, owned by Nicholas Brown and part of the Lake House Collection<\/a> from the U.K., is even more distinctive with its Tubi Style decat exhaust system, giving that 4.7-liter naturally-aspirated V12 an even sharper note. Inside, it\u2019s finished in factory Nero leather with Alcantara, an understated spec, but one that complements the exterior silver paint.<\/p>\n

As one of Ferrari\u2019s 200+ mph halo cars with Formula 1 DNA, values of well-kept F50s typically range anywhere between $3.5- $4 million today. A car with a story to tell, like the Giallo Modena example (only two delivered stateside), once owned by Ralph Lauren, will be offered at RM Sotheby\u2019s upcoming 2025 Monterey auction and is expected to fetch anywhere between $6.5-$7.5 million. However, the rarest colors: silver and black, with just four examples of each, are true unicorns, and sit at the very top of the F50 market. These cars will likely always command a premium.<\/p>\n
