The legendary Ferrari F50 in a rare color is selling for millions
An extremely rare Ferrari F50 has appeared at auction, valued at up to $8 million due to its unique black color, low mileage, and pristine factory condition. This is one of the rarest examples of the model, with only a few in this configuration existing worldwide. The car is already being called a collector’s find on par with a museum exhibit.
Another high-profile lot has appeared in the world of collectible cars, immediately capturing the attention of fans of speed and rare items: a 1996 Ferrari F50 has been put up for auction at RM Sotheby’s, with an estimated price of 5 to 6 million pounds sterling—which converts to approximately 8.1 million dollars— —a sum that today buys not just a car, but history and status.
The main reason for this price isn’t just its age or the brand, but the fact that this Ferrari belongs to an almost unique series: only four cars were produced in the factory black color Nero DS, and this is precisely what makes the model virtually unattainable on the market, where even standard versions of the F50 have long since become collector’s rarities.
The car comes with a Ferrari Classiche certificate, which confirms the authenticity of its major components—the original chassis, engine, and transmission— and its mileage is only about 26,000 kilometers—which, for a car of this age, looks almost like it has been “preserved in time” rather than having been driven normally.
The history of this Ferrari is also unusual: it was originally Rosso Corsa red, later repainted white and modified in Japan, where it received tuning upgrades, including Enkei wheels, and later returned to its original factory appearance when, in 2016, it was restored to Ferrari’s aesthetic standards, this time in black, at the Carrozzeria Zanasi workshop.
Under the hood, it features the model’s classic naturally aspirated 4.7-liter V12 engine, developed using Formula 1 technology, and it is precisely this engine, combined with its extremely limited production run, that made the F50 the direct successor to the legendary F40 and one of the icons of the 1990s—an era when a supercar still meant pure mechanical performance without electronic compromises.
After being imported to the United Kingdom, the car was regularly serviced at an authorized dealership, underwent its last service in May 2026, and retains a complete set of documentation, including the removable roof, carrying case, tools, and all factory-original components, which only reinforces its status as a fully preserved example.
In fact, this Ferrari F50 combines several factors that contribute to its rarity: low mileage, verified authenticity, a rare color, and the model’s iconic status, which is why it is already being called one of the most valuable supercars to appear at public auctions.

Aston Martin has announced a recall of seven Valkyrie hypercars due to a detected brake cylinder defect. The malfunction could cause the system to overheat and the car to catch fire while being driven on a race track.
