AN ULTRA-RARE 90s Ferrari hypercar owned by a fashion icon has gone on the market for an eye-watering price.
For a whopping £5.9 million, you could be the next owner of a rare 1995 Ferrari F50.

This F50, described as “one of the most truly special and unique F50s available” is one of just two US-specification F50s in Giallo Moderna.
Images show the yellow hypercar with a contrasting Nero leather interior in immaculate condition.
With fewer than 5,400 miles on the clock, the car was commissioned by fashion icon Ralph Lauren whose collection of motors is widely seen as one of the most elite in the world.
The listing states the motor was “ordered new and retained for eight years” by the fashion powerhouse.
The F50 produces 513 horsepower and sprints to 60 miles per hour in just 3.6 seconds, powered by a 4.7 litre naturally aspirated V12 engine.
It also has a removable targa roof and is clothed in carbon fibre, Kevlar and Nomex honeycomb composite.
The motor also retains its Ferrari Classiche Certification which confirms the originality of all its components.
In addition, a new Red Book will accompany the sale.
This follows the F50 receiving a fresh service at Ferrari of Central Florida which included a fuel bladder replacement, new tyres and renewed brake components.
It’s set to go on auction with RM Sothebys and will be sold with original documentation.
This includes a “duplicato” warranty book, the owner’s manual in its original leather folio and a Ferrari flashlight.
The listing states: “It is very rare that Mr. Lauren has parted with a car once acquired, making the opportunity to purchase a vehicle with his provenance quite a rarity.
“The car is offered with fewer than 5,400 miles at the time of cataloguing and has just received a fresh service by Ferrari of Central Florida at the end of 2024, including replacement of the fuel bladder, tyres, and brake components.
“Further, the F50 also had its Ferrari Classiche Certification reviewed and renewed last year, with a new Red Book to be received by the time of sale and, of course, confirming that all components remain original and exactly as they should be in such a well-preserved, much-loved example.

This F50 is only one of just two made to US specification in Giallo Moderna[/caption]
“In a world of low-mileage F50s, this car benefits from the sought-after US specification, as one of only two in this rarefied colour, and from a pristine, ‘no-stories’ history, beginning with Ralph Lauren and continuing with 22 years in the good hands of the present owners.”
The F50 hasn’t been shown in public or displayed since 2009.
Just 349 production F50s were built and while every one is special, some are more special than others.
Only 55 were made to US specification and of those, only two were finished in Giallo Modena.
Another super rare Ferrari also went to auction recently, selling for a record price of £6.3 million.
Its believed to be the oldest Ferrari in existence and was Enzo Ferrari’s first car, designed to compete in circuit racing and drive on the road.
It was also reported last month that another iconic Ferrari, with a top speed of 201 miles per hour, was to sell for £2.4 million.
