FERRARI F50 GT

To celebrate Ferrari's golden anniversary, the F50 was released and sold as a limited edition supercar. It followed the footsteps of the 288 GTO and F40 by focusing on motor sports engineering with little concessions for passenger comfort.
To celebrate Ferrari's golden anniversary, the F50 was released and sold as a limited edition supercar. It followed the footsteps of the 288 GTO and F40 by focusing on motor sports engineering with little concessions for passenger comfort.
A highlight of the F50 was its rigidity. It had no front, rear or engine subframes and featured a solid mounted chassis, with little rubber in the suspension system. Attached directly to the central tub, the engine and transmission doubled as the rear support structure and held the rear suspension components.
With good aerodynamics and braking to complement its stiff chassis design, and having the necessary production figures to meet homologation requirements, it seemed only fitting for the F50 to continue the legacy of the F40 GTE. That is, contest the BPR Global GT Endurance Series, a precursor to FIA GT. Not surprisingly, Ferrari flirted with this idea and began a development of the F50 GT.
F50 GT chassis number 001 was sent to Micholelotti. They were the same company that assisted Ferrari in developing the F40 GT and the 333 SP prototype racers and were commissioned by Ferrari to modify the F50 body. Micholelotti removed the integrated rear wing and replaced it with a much larger adjustable unit sitting on a new flat deck. The front end was modified to feature much larger air apertures and a lower more pronounced front splitter. Other changes included a fixed roof with engine intake and a metal cover for the engine bay.
Ferrari worked on the engine and chassis of 001 to achieve a better power to weight ratio. They drastically reduced its weight to 1800 dry pounds and increased horsepower by 200 to reach 750 at 10500 rpm. To cope with the power, a sequential 6-speed transmission was introduced with a much stronger carbon clutch.
Other chassis improvements included a more adjustable suspension, carbon fiber disc brakes, twenty inch Speedline wheels, a massive rear diffuser and a much lower ride height. The interior received a gutting treatment, resulting in a single racing seat, concise digital display and many more engine mototronics, including a Magneti Marelli Compeition system.
Preliminary results around the Fiorano track lapped the F50 GT faster then the 333SP Le Mans prototype, albeit with a 4.0 liter engine in the 333.
This legend can push upto a speed of 378 kmph(235 mph)
0-100 kmph in 2.9 seconds
And priced approximately 1,000,000 $.

FERRARI FXX
2005 Ferrari FXX
49. FERRARI FXX
Considering the company's rich racing heritage it is no surprise that the competition potential of every new Ferrari sportscar is subject of heavy speculation. When the Ferrari Enzo was launched in 2002, the speculation was fed by a number of grainy pictures of a black racer looking not too dissimilar to the new supercar. However with the sport's governing bodies' moratorium on moving aerodynamics it was unlikely that the Enzo could be turned into a racer. Until this day there are still many questions surrounding the mysterious black car shown in the spy shots, but it could very well just have been a pre-production test bed.
Shortly after the Enzo's production finished early in 2004, Maserati revealed an ambitious racing program with a mid-engined V12 sportscar. Although this MC12 looked completely different, it was soon clear that its roots lay in the Enzo supercar produced by Maserati's parent company. Maserati had combined the potent Enzo chassis with a fixed aerodynamic body to create an elligible racer before building road going replicas for homologation purposes. This controversial scheme recalled the days of GT1 racing and the car was not accepted well by the governing bodies. Le Mans' ACO refused the car and the FIA only accepted it after some modifications were made. While some anticipated a Maserati walk-over, the forced alterations had slowed the cars down considerably, but it still racked up several victories in the FIA GT World Championship.
The FXX shares its carbonfibre chassis and greenhouse with the Enzo, but both the nose and tail were completely redesigned. The revised aerodynamics resulted in a downforce increase of 40%. To suit a particular track the angle of the rear spoiler can be adjusted by the driver. The biggest news was found under the large engine cover; a 6.2 litre version of the 6 litre engine found in the Enzo and MC12. Ferrari claims the engine produces at least 800 bhp and we have no reason to doubt that. The exhausts were re-routed and now exit right under the rear wings, swapping places with the tail lights. The engine is mated to a paddle operated semi-automatic gearbox that can change gears in a staggering 100 ms. Huge 19 inch alloy wheels were required to clear the specifically developed carbon ceramic break discs. Bridgestone provides a special 'Potenza Scuderia' slick tire for the FXX.
With a pice tag close to 2,000,000 $ this cool cat can hit a top speed of 370 kmph(230 mph)
and 0-100 kmph(62 mph) in 2.6 sec.
PORSCHE RUF RT 12R
TOP 50 SPORTS CARS OF ALL TIME :
50. PORSCHE RUF RT 12R
PORSCHE makes some amazingly capable and exciting machines.
Based on the PORSCHE 911 TURBO the Ruf Rt 12 R begins life with the stock 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine. That unit is good for 500 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque (516 lb-ft with the overboost function). After Ruf gets its mitts on the powerplant, output swells to 730 hp and 693 lb-ft of torque. The engine is paired to Porsche's six-speed manual transmission and all-wheel-drive system. And if you're a rich lunatic, you can opt for rear-wheel drive.
Ruf also works its magic on the body of the Rt 12 R. Carbon fiber is applied to the front fenders, hood, luggage cover, seats and is available optionally on the roof. The side and rear windows are plastic instead of glass to further aid in the quest for lightness. This weight reduction, along with the massive increase in power, has helped Ruf claim an impressive 230 mph top speed for the Rt 12 R
