- Owner: Originally owned by Ralph Lauren
- Year: 1995
- Mileage: Less than 5,400 miles since new
- Color: Giallo Modena yellow, one of only two US-spec F50s in this color
Ordered new by Lauren, this F50 boasts a unique provenance. Lauren’s penchant for holding onto his cars amplifies the exclusivity associated with this model.
After eight years with Lauren, he sold the car in 2003 with just 3,300 miles on it. It passed through a Florida dealer and later to a Ferrari enthusiast couple. The husband and wife were avid Ferrari fans who preferred to keep this gem under wraps for private enjoyment. As a result, the car has been largely unseen, last appearing publicly in 2009.
- Condition: Impeccable, with a recent service and comprehensive care documentation
- Certification: Ferrari Classiche certified, reviewed, and renewed
- Auction House: RM Sotheby’s, upcoming Monterey auction
This F50 stands in pristine shape, reflecting its limited usage and careful maintenance over the years. It’s a standout among the 349 F50s ever built, especially given that only 55 were US-spec and just two in this vibrant yellow.
- Engine: 4.7-liter V12 derived from Ferrari’s 1990 F1 engine
- Expected Price: Estimated to fetch between $6.5 million and $7.5 million
With an F1-derived, naturally-aspirated V12 engine, collectors will need deep pockets to secure this iconic vehicle. Its scarcity, combined with its celebrity provenance, makes it a coveted find for enthusiasts.
This ex-Ralph Lauren Ferrari F50 is a piece of automotive history, wrapped in rarity and allure. Its reemergence on the auction stage is a unique opportunity for collectors to own an exceptionally preserved example of Ferrari’s legacy. Don’t miss your chance to place a bid on this yellow marvel.
