Today's Car Of The Day comes from Brett's collection and is Kyosho's 1996 Ferrari F50.

The Ferrari F50 is a mid-engined range-topping sports car made by Ferrari. The F50 was introduced in 1995. The car is a two-door, two seat roadster with a removable hardtop. It has a 4.7 L naturally aspirated 60-valve V12 engine that was developed from the 3.5 L V12 used in the 1990 Ferrari 641 Formula One car.

Only 349 cars were made. The last F50 was produced in Maranello, Italy, in July 1997.

The F50's engine predated the car; it was used in the Ferrari 333 SP for the American IMSA series in 1994, allowing it to become eligible for the stock engine WSC category.

There are few repaint opportunities for this car. Sure, in theory Ferrari offered five colors. But in practice, more than six out of every seven F50s is bright red. The yellow seen here is the second most common color. All 31 of them.
