Behold: the 1995 Ferrari F50 Berlinetta Prototipo – successor to the F40 and the showpiece of Ferrari’s F1 know-how in street legal form.

Twenty five years ago, this windswept, carbon fibre, 500bhp, 4.7-litre, V12 racer had a top speed of 325km/h, accelerating from 0-100km/h in 3.9 seconds.

349 were made but this was the first.

Fully documented and road tested by a succession of Ferrari drivers including Niki Lauda, it’s up for auction next month.
