A Journey Through Tuscany’s Timeless Beauty

The tour then winds its way through the iconic hills around Siena and the rugged Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, providing owners with an experience that seamlessly blends the raw power of the F50 with the spectacular views and historical richness of one of Italy’s most celebrated regions.
This exclusive event marks the third edition of Ferrari’s Legacy Tour, following the success of the F40 and GTO editions in previous years. Just as the F40 and GTO tours paid tribute to their respective models, the F50 Legacy Tour celebrates the incredible engineering and design of Ferrari’s V12-powered supercar, marking 30 years of its iconic presence on the road.
An Arrival at the Heart of Ferrari: Maranello and Fiorano Circuit
The culmination of the F50 Legacy Tour brings participants to Ferrari’s legendary headquarters in Maranello. Here, owners will have the chance to showcase their meticulously preserved F50s, displaying the cars in front of the passionate engineers and craftsmen who built them. But the experience doesn’t end there. The grand finale of the tour will feature a memorable parade of F50s around the world-renowned Fiorano Circuit. The famous track, known for being the testing ground for Ferrari’s high-performance vehicles, offers the perfect stage for these remarkable cars to demonstrate their true capabilities.
Introducing the Pirelli P Zero Corsa System Collezione Tyres
Adding to the tour’s exclusivity, Ferrari is unveiling a bespoke tyre developed in collaboration with Pirelli specifically for the F50. The new Pirelli P Zero Corsa System Collezione tyre, available in the sizes 245/35 R18 for the front and 335/30 R18 for the rear, is designed to enhance the driving experience of the F50, preserving its original road feel while offering modern-day safety and reliability. These tyres, emblazoned with the ‘Ferrari F50 Legacy Tour 2025’ logo, have been crafted with cutting-edge technology and precision on the Fiorano Circuit to ensure optimal performance, offering superior handling and stability on both roads and tracks.
A Look Back at the Ferrari F50
The F50, introduced to celebrate Ferrari’s 50th anniversary, stands as a true testament to Ferrari’s unwavering pursuit of perfection. The car is powered by a 65° V12 engine, developed directly from Ferrari’s Formula 1 technology. With a total displacement of 4.7 litres and a 6-speed manual gearbox, the F50 generates an impressive 520 horsepower at 8,500 rpm and 471 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm.
Weighing in at just 1,230 kg, the F50’s lightweight design, combined with the absence of modern conveniences like ABS and power-assisted steering, delivers a raw, unfiltered driving experience. The car’s aerodynamically efficient carbon fibre monocoque chassis and horizontally mounted push-rod dampers underline Ferrari’s commitment to delivering a car that is as exhilarating on the road as it is on the track.
With a top speed of 325 km/h and a 0-100 km/h time of just 3.87 seconds, the F50 remains a paragon of Ferrari’s racing heritage. Only 349 examples were produced, a number chosen deliberately to represent a figure one less than the demand from the car’s intended market.
Pirelli’s Special Tribute to the F50
Pirelli’s dedication to Ferrari’s Legacy Tour extends beyond just tyres. The P Zero Corsa System tyres designed specifically for the F50 are part of the Collezione range, which features tyres created for Ferrari’s most iconic models, both vintage and contemporary. With their advanced tread design and exceptional performance at high speeds and on corners, the new tyres provide the F50 with the agility and precision expected from Ferrari’s most thrilling models.
Ferrari and Pirelli’s collaboration ensures that the F50 retains its original driving essence, allowing owners to relive the car’s unparalleled performance while embracing the modern-day advancements in automotive engineering.
