The Bburago 1995 Ferrari F50 Hard-Top is a classic 1:18 scale diecast model known for its solid construction and features like opening doors, hood, and engine cover. Produced in Italy, this model is part of Bburago's Gold Collection and is a staple for collectors of 90s supercars.
Key Features & Details
Scale & Material: A 1/18 scale replica made primarily of diecast metal with plastic components and rubber tires.
Functionality:
Includes steerable wheels, adjustable steering, and opening parts—the front hood, scissor-style doors, and the rear engine compartment.
Interior/Exterior:
Features a detailed engine bay and interior, though some details like the chrome window cranks and pedals are considered stylized rather than strictly accurate to the real car.
Hard-Top Design: Unlike the "Open Top" or "Cabriolet" versions (cod. 3352), this specific model (cod. 3362) features the fixed-roof hard-top silhouette.
Available Colors & Variations
While Red is the most iconic and widely available color, the 1995 Bburago F50 was produced in several other finishes:
Red: The classic Ferrari racing color.
Silver/Grey Metallic: A sleek, modern alternative often found in the Gold Collection.
Yellow: A vibrant, high-visibility option.
Black: A rarer, more aggressive finish (Code 3372).
Blue: A very rare "Chase" or limited edition variant.
The Ferrari F50 is widely considered the ultimate "Formula 1 car for the road," created to celebrate Ferrari's 50th anniversary. Produced between 1995 and 1997, it remains one of the rarest modern Ferraris with only 349 units ever built.
F1-Derived Engineering
The F50's defining feature is its 4.7-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine, which was directly derived from the 3.5-liter V12 used in Ferrari's 1990 641 Formula 1 car.
- Performance: It produces 512–520 hp and can reach a top speed of 202 mph (325 km/h).
- Structural Engine: In a move taken straight from racing, the engine and gearbox are bolted directly to the carbon fiber monocoque chassis to act as a structural member of the car.
- Analog Experience: The car is famously "raw," featuring a 6-speed gated manual transmission and no power steering, ABS, or traction control.
Design & Versatility
Designed by , the F50 is a two-door Targa, meaning it features a removable hardtop that allows it to transform from a closed coupe into an open-air spider.
- Spartan Interior: To save weight, the interior lacks a radio and electric windows, though it does include air conditioning.
- Color Rarity: While most were finished in Rosso Corsa (Red), it was also produced in Giallo Modena (Yellow), Argento Nürburgring (Silver), Nero Daytona (Black), and Rosso Barchetta (Dark Red).
