Ferrari F40 vs Ferrari F50

Altri tempi da aggiornare.
Track: Tsukuba
F40 1.03.5
F50 1.02.9
Driver: Tetsuya Ota

I've heard the F40 produced more power than clamed but this defies physics

In reality, this is a tied race. Ferrari really tried with the F50, there was no doubt, but it was more of an emotion-based car rather than a record-breaker; sort of like the Bugatti Centodieci and Koenigsegg CC850 today, except track-focused instead of retro-based.

There is only a three-year gap between the newest F40 and the oldest F50.

There is a clear winner!the Ferrari F40 came first.it also looks much better without the stupid hood scoops.it looks more original!omg I'd do anything for one of those

F40 is only quicker in the low-end range because of the turbos and the longer gear ratios that are compatible with its torque curve. The actual winner here is the F50. It doesn't launch as good or accelerate as hard solely because it is a naturally aspirated high-revving car with identical peak power and peak torque.

The F40 makes 522hp@7775rpm (actual) while the F50 makes 603hp@8700rpm (actual). Their power-to-weight ratios are 379hp/tonne and 408hp/tonne, respectively.

F40: Zero to 30mph in 2.0s, 60mph in 3.5s, 100mph in 6.9s, 124mph in 11.1s, 155mph in 17.9s, 186mph in 29.3s, and 200mph in 47.9s.

F50: Zero to 30mph in 2.1s, 60mph in 3.7s, 100mph in 7.1s, 124mph in 11.4s, 155mph in 18.3s, 186mph in 27.6s, and 200mph in 33.6s.

Honestly though, I view the F40-to-F50 transition as similar to a LaFerrari-from-SF90 transition.

Also, the F40 makes 511lb-ft@4750rpm whilst the F50 makes 364lb-ft@8700rpm.

F1 car for the road is slower than a rally car inspired vehicle for the road

I have a 288GTO, F40, F50, Enzo, La Ferrari (first and only in Dublin Ohio), 918 Porsche, and a La Ferrari Asperta plus a GT40, Ford Gt 2004, 2017 Ford GT, 1990 Acura NSX, 97, 05, and 2017 NSX. The fastest car I own is a fake Ferrari Testaross with a Fiero body that does the quarter mile in 10.5. 10.5minutes. If u want a La Ferrari u can have mine, we just have to steal it from the guy down the street I let barrow. There's also a guy in a $700/month apartment with an M3 and a Lamborghini S L who actually keeps it parked outside in the snow like a maron.The La Ferrari was in Road and Track with the 918. People in Columbus Ohio must have some money or not enough since.

The F50 never ran an 11.1s stock time, That time was done by BM, And was certainly not stock, When it comes to 1/4 times, BM is one of the last you should listen to, They are WAAAAYy ahead of EVERYBODY else when it comes to 1/4 times, An Evo IX doing a 12.5? an R34 doing a 12.0? A 2008 GTR beating an 2008 LP640 in the full mile? Dude just no..

The slowest Enzo ran probably an 11.8-11.9 1/4-mile time (in the dried rain, if you count the 3.9sec 0-100kph and 10.6 0-200kph times). The quickest F50 ran 11.1. The quickest F40 did 11.3. The F40 beat the Enzo before the Enzo was even out from 100-200 in AMS.

Ha, 10 years what! teen baby!

yeah.. I remember seeing you for the first time in 2013 when you barely knew how to walk - a toddler. Time flies...

Are u kidding me? I've been here for 4 years already?

F50 and F40 can't compete with Enzo in any way shape or form. But they can compete with each other.

...Did you just say the F40, F50 and Enzo are...Equally fast?...Dude, Just what are you smoking?

And since when has an F50 and CTR2 EVER been faster then a CTR3 and Enzo?

Dude you need help..

The F40, the F50, and the Enzo are equally fast. There's no real performance difference between the three of them. The "Supercar Mafia" period as I call part of these cars ran from 1986 through 2010. 24 years!! It ended with the Lamborghini Murciélago LP670-4 SV. The Porsche 959 and the 911 GT1 and the Carrera GT are equally quick until around 100 mph. The Bugatti EB110 (not even SS) was surprisingly as fast as AutoCar's McLaren F1 in GenteMotori. The Veyron was the only mega-supercar that was excluded from this group, which created the "Hypercar Mafia" actually, but the Hypercar Mafia was really held back until the Ferrari LaFerrari, the McLaren P1, and the Lamborghini Veneno were introduced. Hypercar Mafia has been on the run since 2005 with the Veyron.

This is why, a Ruf CTR and Ferrari F40 will always be as fast as (or faster than) the CTR2 and F50, and on a few occasions, faster than the CTR3 and Enzo!!!

F40 is THE FERRARI

the F40 had more power than claimed, and simply was faster than expected. The F50, though fast, wasn't that spectacular after the engine was detuned for more reliability. Ferrari didn't allow much testing of the F50 because one it didn't need to in order to sell, and mostly because it wasn't as good as the F40

In all honestly, I don't ever think the F50 had its claimed power, Ive been to around 3 dyno tests of an F40s, latest was in 2007 of March, and they produced well over the advertised 478Bhp, Great for the buyer, but I don't see why Ferrari would make it slower then the next SuperFerrari? Thas like an Enzo being faster then a LaFerrari, Never really got that.

@ lafars
Best video by Chris Harris yet, and he's got a LOT of good ones. Major props to the owner of those cars for letting him drive them, like that... :)

F40 VS F50 - drag race from roll start - 50 km/h - which is gonna win ?

In my opinion F40 wins...
