We could use All this story writing only about extraordinary achievements of the brand in question, but we are not going to. We are going to pay more attention to the most important part. During the story, it had the habit of offering special edition models more than a few times and each of the people was a remarkable work of art and engineering. Nothing less is 2017 Ferrari J50.

WHAT IS

It is another special and highly limited edition of Ferrari. This superdebro was revealed at the National Art Center in Tokyo during the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of Ferrari’s presence in Japan. It was created in the Ferrari Special Project Department with a design developed by Ferrari Styling Center in Maranello.

If you remember that it is the same special department that created SP12 EC, one and only, only for Eric Clapton, and one who created 458 mm specific, otherwise. There will only be ten J50 available, respecting the tradition of “Fuori Series” and all of them are sold exclusively in Japan. Each model will be specifically adapted for each buyer individually.

Design inside and outside

2017 Ferrari J50 is basically 488 spider with very redesigned looks. The emphasis is in “heavily”, since it can not connect anything at their roots due to its distinctive character. The headlights are unique and do not resemble anything in the current lineup, and the same happens with the black line that surrounds the bell and continues on the car side. The windshield resembles the hairstyle of the helmet visor that was observed in the legendary models of GTO and F40 and F50.

At the back, the rear lights quad occupy the space of the 488 singles to remind us that some time ago, the double lights on the back were common inside the brand. J50 is not convertible is TARGA, so the top of carbon fiber tag can be checked manually and storing behind the seats folding it while exploiting the design of two pieces. Logically, the 20-inch alloy wheels are also unique and reserved only for it. In the cabin, the situation is totally different. The interior is almost identical to the 488 model with some increase in the use of Alcantara, while only the seats are unique with a special adjustment that replicates the lines at the back of the car.

UNDER THE SKIN

In addition to appearance, everything remains almost the same. Under the hood is referred to 3.9 liters with double turbo turbocompressor V8 of 488 models, but now providing 20 extra and qualified HP in incredible 690 HP, and although the official figures are unknown, we will definitely be a fast roadster, especially if we know That the spider reaches the spider. 60 mph in just 3 seconds.

You should buy one

This is a question with trap. First, you will have to be prepared to dismiss from around $ 2.5 to $ 3 million, which is a usual price of special things for Maranello. Even if you have an indicated amount, the second requirement is that it has to be Japanese, and third, you will have to be an ancient and loyal customer from the Italian automaker.

And yes, for the end you will have to reach a list of 10 more loved in the Ferrari’s eyes to enter. Then, 99.99% of people should not buy it because they can not, anyway, but that should not stop all of us admiring this unique work of art. And those who can, certainly will.
