- The Ferrari F50 is an icon that I often refer to as my favourite car, and here you'll find out why! Join me in Miami for an experience driving chassis #001 to hear the V12 and enjoy what it's all about. The poster car of my generation and in this case @dennis_akoyaking's particularly special one too, the Ferrari F50 ticks every box!
The Ferrari F50 mixes a few spectacular elements, a gated manual gearbox hooked up to a 4.7l naturally aspirated V12 derived from Formula 1, all of which can be enjoyed with the roof section removed for the noise and open air experience. This particular F50 came right at the beginning of the line and as such has a number of differences and unique elements to other cars; including the yellow pin stripe around the bodywork, a fire extinguisher inside and two seat belts for each occupant.
After initially exploring the car inside the garage, let's get it fired up and brought out into the Miami sunshine to have a proper look. Then it's my turn to get behind the wheels and have a short drive to see what it's about and explain why the Ferrari F50 is my favourite car out there.
A huge thanks to @dennis_akoyaking for the opportunity: / dennis_akoyaking
Thanks for watching, Tim

The Ferrari F50 has always been at the top of my dream car list and here's why! Join me in Miami to drive and experience @dennis_akoyaking's F50 chassis #001 to see what makes it just so special.
Great to see you with ur favorate car shmee
Shmee150 The F50 has always been my childhood favorite car
So awesome driving 🙌😍
I always love this Car ❤️
This car is my workhorse in Real Racing 3. Doing endless laps at Le Mans to farm "Fame points". I can't imagine how insane it is in real life ☺️
The prototype manufactured by the F50 team is here in Brazil, in the interior of Sao Paulo. It's worth more than this one in the video!
Ferrari / V12 Atmo / Manual / Rwd / Rear Engine / 2 seats / Targa... that's the recipe of a legend
You forgot to add no power steering, no ABS and no traction control or driving aids of any kinds.
You forgot to add formula one derived V12
Mike no ABS = bye bye safety
@@vika0194 Nothing safe about this car. That's why it's so thrilling.
@@vika0194 If the driver knows what he's doing, it shouldn't be a problem
When I was walking through the tunnel in Monaco many years ago a F50 come through. What a sound, I will never forget it.
I owned this car, drove it all day, and enjoyed every moment of it... in Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2.
I think driving it in Forza Horizon is the best gaming experience one can get for the F50.
hahahaha i own 117 rare exotic supercars and i daily drive them
in RR3
I drove in Need for speed II as well
Best car game ever made. Remember flying in my F50 while yelling "Speed kills coming down the mountain"
I drive this car in nfs 2se
that beeping sound is making me want to launch my ears into space
Special Boye fr bro it’s literally making the video unwatchable for me
Cause you can't hear in space... Very clever
Honestly didn't even notice until you pointed it out. I might have subconsciously noticed but I didn't realize
lol, I kept pausing the video thinking the beeping was from my house
@@chrislatham4235 Same here! Did it like three times too.
Can someone please take the food out of the microwave 😂😂😂
Underrated
That's an alarm to let people know it's time for another bump of coke
@@tjpj1919 🤣
💯💯💯😂😂😂
That beeping sound is the Ferrari owner's life support. He had a heart attack upon agreeing to let this guy near his prized posession.
Tbh, Ferrari F50 is an underrated Supercar in my opinion.
Ali Masoom Dilawari apart from the fact that they cost close to 2mil if not more
Very true and the F40 is overrated.
@drunkduck overrated in the sense that it seems to always garner more love and attention compared to the F50. Just because it was the faster car on the track doesn't mean it's the better car. I always felt the F50 never gets the respect it deserves in comparison. Then there's the SOUND and looks. Which in my opinion the F50 wins that hands down. Just my 2 cents.
I feel like most of that has to do with the way it looks, same with other Ferrari’s from its era.
I'd rather have the diablo or a countach
F50 spoiler in the rear is definitely the most beautiful design object i ve ever seen. It goes beyond the idea of italian design and aerodynamic functions...it is just amazing..
The spoiler on a Porsche 930 or 993 Turbos blow it away! No debate...
You mean the ducktail spoiler looks better than the one on the f50? Not in a million years mate
Always liked the F50 more than the F40 👍 great video as always
I share the same sentiments, this was my poster car as a child. From what I understand though, on the race track the f40 is more "fun". But the F50 is King of the dream cars from my childhood.
The F50 is the most beautiful Ferrari ever.
Relax
@@delroyaugust6975 Poster car as a child?
I still have a 1:40th scale model on my wall.
Same.
10:51 I've always wondered what Michael Jackson's reaction would be to driving an F50
heheheheehe this made me giggle out loud.
Aaaaooooooo....
12:19 Tim just ignore the Lamborghini Diablo on the back🤣🤣🤣. I guess it was a Ferrari flagship kinda day.
Then he find the Diablo at 14:10🤣
yep i spot this one to :)
wotano Ditto
Delighted you got to drive your dream car, living the dream Shmee👍🇮🇪🇮🇪
And thanks to you guys for joining this adventure as well!
@Filippo yes just a habit I do. 👍🇮🇪
@@Shmee150 I love Ferrari F-50

(°-°)

I agree you are a good guy and a top notch person living that dream. F40 is cool too
I grew up with the F50. It was the first supercar I've seen in my life, so it holds a special place in my heart.
Wow how wild to find no. 001 in America.
Shmee your lucky man. ❤️
I swear I thought I was clicking on a Doug DeMuro video lol
This is better than doug
Gergely Ivády naw
It's the title innit? Lol
I'm nearly the same age as you Tim (32). And I had a F40 poster on my wall. These car are true works of art and I'm so happy to have grown up in the golden age of automobiles. The 90s will never be repeated.
Damn ... i thought this was a "I bought a Ferrari F50" video
We're not there yet, but who knows what the future has in store
@@Shmee150 you know you will, Tim, i hope it happens sooner than later. I really feel you when you have the need for the (your generation) Super Ferrari. cheeeeers
@@Shmee150 Would you sell everything to have just an F50?
Awesome content as always Tim! The 80/90s era cars just appear so much more 'real' than the newer ones with all their tech and comfort gadgets.
So iconic driving a mid 90's Ferrari in Miami. So awesome. Cant get better than that.
Really? Maybe driving it thru the mountains of North Carolina might be better than going from stop light to another intersection then getting stuck behind an old woman in a Kia... This is surely a form of torture for that poor car!
wowww... congrats for tasting #001, thank you much for sharing :-)
Ferrari F50 also is my favourite car! V12 engine sound and the streamline design!!
Timeless design, looks so awesome 👏
This is the PRIZE for Shmee and all of the hard work he has put into his channel. Congrats Shmee!
Comment that again when he buys one
Totally agree with you, I absolutely love the F50, it's beautiful
This was my first poster-car as a kid too. Love the F50. Very awesome that you got the experience of driving #001!
The Ferrari F50 is just amazing
It is inspired by F1 and that V12 is just awesome
I feel like I keep making the same comment but Shmee150 thank you for all the content you provide us, its absolutely amazing the type of cars you get to experience on a day to day basis and it would be a dream of mine if I just saw one of these lol
Dennis has some great taste! Great to see something unique
The F50 is my all time favourite car as well. It's just perfect.
Congratulations Shmee, you are now my favorite youtuber.
Thank God you got to drive this. I can see how much you respect this creature. "There's no dignifying way to get into this car" said like a true Ferrari lover, salute
I wanted to express my admiration for Tim. I have been following him since his very first videos and nowadays I struggle staying focused throughout the duration of his videos. Yes, new cars, new destinations but pretty much the same Shmee. And that's great. He is one of the pioneers of automotive CZcams. But it is simply admirable that he has been doing this non-stop for all these years without losing his energy and quality. Respect.
So many people listened to Jeremy Clarkson's review of the F50, and yet he was absolutely wrong in every way possible.
He also said the F1 was crap
@@kaisercronik8249 Yeah, i mean who believes that tosser turd???
He said in Forza IV that it was ugly, and ever since I have been convinced that he is on dope.
@@c.s.charles2102 Well, ya gota remember, his is of that generation who loved geometric styled cars. The F50 is polar opposite of that design language. Now.. that said, i would say that back in the 90's when companies explored that Rounded off (kidney oval) theme, few created shapes that worked well with one another, especially when flanked by more geometric forms, Often coming across more Bug-eyed in their looks than anything. The F50 worked, so did the F360. but the F360 didnt work as well.
@@xevious2501 I know what you're saying, but for him to speak for the general opinion of the car back in 1995 seems rather pompous to me. However, I turned seven in 1995 and didn't get my first F50 Hotwheel car until I was nine, so for all I know, he may have been right that most people thought it was ugly, but I doubt it.
The F50 Is so iconic and one of my favorites and the F40.........
Only one I ever saw in person was at Watkins Glen around 2005. I was at the top of the grandstand at the top of the "S" turn and took a break to look around. Up pulls a black F50, top removed, and out steps this stunning looking black haired woman dressed in all black except for a deep red tie around her hat brim. WOW! She knew how to look, she knew how to walk, and best of all, she knew what to drive! I've never been without a camera since that time.
Schmee with a smile from ear to ear means this is a good video! What a stunning car!
The final f50 also has the yellow pinstripe as well. The only difference is the last f50 has all the signatures of those that built it. It to was in America, though I'm not sure if it is still here. My favorite Ferrari of all time, and the first investment I would make if I hit the Lotto!!!
The f50 is my favorite too. Never knew chassis #001 was down here in SFL. Great vid Shmee!
I still remember seeing one of these in city traffic one Saturday night. About 16 or 17 years ago. I just knew it was a Ferrari, but didn't know it was this rare or special at the time.
Congrats, i have never been more excited for you as in this video you conveyed to the perfect point your joy of driving the F50
This title made me think it was a Doug DeMuro upload haha
I think he did the f40
My favorite is the Ferrari F50GT. Beast machine from 🇮🇹✌
Getting Mischief 3000 memories from this video. What an amazing car!
the grill in the rear allows for a gorgeous view. amazing
On Google Maps one can see the car in the garage. It's such a beautiful car
My favorite Ferrari ❤️thx from 🇫🇷 Schmee, great emotion for you 👍
Really good to see someone release content that makes them smile that much. You doing it for the right reasons 👌🏼
I remember the day Ferrari became my favorite car company and the F50 has always been my absolute favorite vehicle.
Just watching this video made my cheeks hurt from smiling.
I've never had the opportunity to drive any, and I know that seeing this is as close to driving this particular model that I'm ever going to get.
Thank you so much for sharing.
My first modelcar was a F50. Love that car ❤️
Are we going to see a collab with TheStradman and Daily Driven Exotics ??
I think you will indeed!
@@Shmee150 Doug DeMuro PLEASE!!!!
@@Shmee150 doug demuro pls
Doug demuro toooooo pls try
@@Shmee150 can't wait for the SoCal vlogs!!!
Maybe I can join the collaboration 😂
Thank you for this video Shmee ! =)
The smile stuck to the face that you have all along summarizes everything on the F50. Dream on the road. For me too she is fantastic. Maybe not my first, but in my top 5 of the planet. Just for his look and the sound of his V12. My god, what a car...
Your smile says it all man! Glad to see you got to enjoy driving your favorite car!!!
At 12:19 I believe there might be a countach pulling out of a parking space behind you
Is a Diablo...
I love the *F50* !! Way more than the F40! Glad you're on the team F50 🔥🔥🔥
John Mitchell a german tuner once Said: its nice that ur na engine has its power threw the hole rev range, but u don’t have power in general.
Yeah, I think a v12 is nice but nothing beats turbos;)
You lucky guy! What I wouldn't give to be able to drive the legendary Ferrari F50. To me it will always be one of my most favorite Ferraris ever made. It's absolutely spectacular. I love it!
You can really see the real emotion of how much this drive, in this car means to you. Awesome video Shmee!
Did anyone noticed the red lamborghini countach at 12:19 ? Gorgeous scene...
Adrian Chavez Diablo
I've always prefered the F40 over the F50 but after this...
So as soon as you said you had the F50 as a poster, i remembered that i had a Diablo one on my wall. Few moments later theres a Diablo driving infront of you, and that was just epic, both cars on the road together. Glad you are living the dream that every kid probably had from our generation. Cheers!
Bought my son one back in 1998, he loved that car!! he was 8 at the time and it was a 1/10th scale, now at 27 years old he drives a 10year old Peugeot 208 and loves that too ;).. excellent vid again Tim..
I can totally agree with you shmee, that the F50 is such a favourite car for everyone, what a machine!
loved this video with all the cars but yes, of course, the F50 was the best!
Thanks for sharing 😄
I agree! Way sexier than the F40 imo
Definitely not everyone
@@swalling22 lol
I love the F50...but the F40 takes No.1... always...😁🔝👍
F40 wins
F50 is more Beautiful than F40
I love the way he is looking at the shifter while shifting, looks so enjoyable. Great car
Wow! This is a very special unit of F-50 being the first production car. The owner must be very proud of it. Yes, you've mentioned it several times previously that this is one of your favorite car. Hopefully one day you'll review and drive one of my favorite car the Porsche 959.🏎🏎🏎🏎
Not my fav car, but definitly my fav Ferrari!
... I have one of those F50 Momo Steering wheels (I originally ordered from a Ferrari Dealer), I had it fitted to my Jap import Toyota MR2 Supercharger, with a quick detach hub!).
You factory ordered an f50 steering wheel for your MR2? It must be the most expensive part on the car!
@@IIXRATEDIIHiTMAN It was not to bad at the time, it was around 200, same sort of price as a good momo after market wheel at the time. Nope, a number of aftermarket parts, on her cusco/Cobra etc etc. She was a little go-kart. She was magazine featured. There starting the fetch ok money now. Not biting kid.
I find it surreal that me living in Miami recognize and have been down many of the roads you have driven in today .
Thanks for another excellent video 👍🏻 your enthusiasm & happiness put me in a much better mood
The Ferrari F50 is a stunning piece of work art. What a privilege Shmee! 😍
You guys happy now that strad has not uploaded same time as shmee?
gotta be top 5 shmee videos of all time, happy for you!!!
Thank you for the non-click bait title! You could’ve easily done “My new F50!” Or “driving the F50” or “F50 thru drivethru prank” but you didn’t, part of the reason why you’re the best in the business.
10:52 the sound you make on the way to your American Idol audition
Michael Jackson.
Haha
The F50 is only the second production car to actually mount a real racing engine (just slightly modified). The first was the Alfa Romeo Montreal.
What about the LeMans car Porsche Carrera GT? 🤣🤦♂️
@@Andino. , the Porsche Carrera GT story was a bit different. Its engine was conceived for racing purposes in mind right from the start but it never made its way in any race car. The F50 , on the other hand , has a slightly modified 1990 F.1 engine. The Montreal engine is from the Alfa 33 competion car. Only the displacement is a bit different . However , you're still probably right to say that the Carrera GT has effectively a racing engine.
I love how genuinely happy you always are! Love the content! Will there be a stop in Philadelphia?
How good you must feel. Good for you I'm new to the channel I should have started watching a long time ago, you explain everything with such detail, keep up the good work.
USA: where laws can ruin the look of your lovely European supercar! 🙌🏼
Just forgot to mention that the car's engine can be tuned to the same power as the F50 GT1 without any mechanical engine modification, just by adjusting compression, air intake and exhaust, thus increasing the top speed to over 380km / h! Just a curiosity that most people do not know, but other than that, another great video !!
I remember my first ever racing video game was Project Gotham, the first one and the F50 was the cover car, I remember just racing non stop so I could unlock it haha, CZcams never really existed back then so I could never imagine getting to watch a full review and drive of the real thing, the True poster car. Awesome video Tim.
This car is more special to me than the F40 that almost everyone loves, this car is awesome!.
Incredible video Shmee150, i’m truly happy for you and your experience!.
This was my dream car back in the 1990s, along with the McLaren F1 and Lamborghini Diablo.
Next video: i bought a f50 GT!
Wow, Tim, you can tick that off your bucket list! The car looks epic from behind. A true beast and so Iconic. You really are a lucky boy! Top Man!!!!!
This excitement of Shmee made me the subscriber..❤
Love from Pakistan💚❤💙
i am still wondering if there is a beep sound in the beginning of the video, or that it is from my room
There is a beep every 5 seconds 0:11 - 0:16 - 0:21
Sounds like a heart monitor...
No more like a alarm system(a hart monitor will beep more frequently 72bpm for a male humans about 1.2 seconds between beeps
A much more authentic sighting than a F40!
This is my favourite car too! I am a massive car enthusiast and for you to upload this video means a lot!
The F50 is my all-time favorite car as well.
I remember when it came out... I bought every model and poster of it I could.
What a dream machine!
Sooooo jealous :)
Wish you'd driven that Countach!! My first poster car!!:)
Jay Jones check Harry’s garage for his vlogs on his Countach
Jay Jones The Countach looks and sounds amazing but drives like a garbage truck.
I had a Countach poster too.
if f50 is your fave car why did you buy about 10 supercars that are not f50?
That’s what I asked myself. Why bother with a senna and a Ford gt if ur dreamcar is smt different
Because the F50 is worth what his total collection is worth. It's either one F50 or his fleet. I think his fleet is much more fun than just one car, albeit his ultimate car. Maybe in a few years he could add it to his collection and enjoy them all.
Mark Scott that’s not true. The senna costs even more.
Niko Moin The senna does not cost £1.8-2million.
@@nikomoin7604 Senna cost more than F50. Hell no. Google is your friend, please use it.
Great video. We were born in the same year and I’ve always loved the F50 too. It’s great to see that it’s as good in real life as it was as a Matchbox toy!
Man that click sound of the gated shifter is so satisfying especially in a Ferrari
To me the F40 is the most beautiful car by ferrari.....then the F355 and the Testerossa.........but good to see you enjoying yourself though Tim :-)
I’d have to say my favorite car is the Lamborghini Miura. I wish they would bring it back
There was the incredible modern remake concept, wouldn't it be amazing to have that come back
I know the one from 2006, but when I searched Lamborghini Miura concept 2018, I found some amazing renderings.
@@Shmee150 YES!
Never understood the hate for F50; boo hoo it's not an F40 even though it has an NA V12. Gorgeous car!
What a piece of history. Great car. Thanks for the video. Really enjoyed it
12:18 Is it Lamborghini Countach or Diablo the red one on car park in background? :D
Vitas diablo
Next video :Shmee access the area 51
Just wait, it's coming!
@@Shmee150 XD
This car is quickly moving up the list to my favorite as well! I NEED to see one of these in person!!
Your videoes deserves more views...
The content is so good😁
