On the “green” colouring you often mention, I’m wondering if perhaps rather than a coloured lacquer, it’s more likely a combination of degradation of the clear resin system due to UV light exposure or the inclusion of Kevlar or Nomex (or some other yellowish aramid fibre) into the layup of the more exposed components like wheel arch liners etc which, when combined with the black carbon and black resin, present a slightly green/brown look to the component?
Completely agree! It also seems to me like it may have happened over time. Right now, and of course not in case of this Ferrari, but "greening" of carbon fiber is actually quite a common issue for elements done in a cheaper way/method - you can see it often in aftermarket carbon parts made in China. Had similar issue ordering a spoiler lip for my car.
exacactly what i thought when i saw the car on the market, all old carbon/kevlar composites from the 80s and 90s tend to get green as time goes by. Look at F1s, F40s and even the first Zondas
Crazy! Loved the Video a Pre-Production Ferrari F50 now that's something you don't see that often let alone in a RU-vid Video the value of this Pre-production F50 is priceless yet worth Millions! It'd be hard to put a Price tag on that! it was interesting to see all the little details of a Pre-production compared to a Production F50
quite a hard sales pitch for the car. also pre production cars should not be worth more than production cars because they are not as finished like described, unless there is some clear performance or aesthetic difference, so trying to say they are more vaulable because they are rarer than a production car is not logical. Also all the F50s were made by hand as stated in the book i have, and there is no difference with pre production models. The really special F50s are the few made/upgraded by Michelotto with enhanced performance upgrades for track use.
@@kinghock Ing. Paolo Martinelli, Ing Carlo della Casa, Battistino Carniglia, Dario Benuzzi, and Dott Michele Scannavini were principal engineers, test development driver and marketeer on the F50 project and their comments on the project, in Italian, informed me. Being myself ITalian the F50 and all Ferrari products are known principally by Ferrari Maranello Italia and also Michelotto, and Italian engineers who built it primarily, not others or foreign sales companies.
Ah yes, I’ve heard many a legend about you: The world-renowned F50 expert, cbca6567. Thank you for blessing us with your time and your well-versed expertise on such matters!
Being that you've had so many, have you weighed any of your F50s? Ferrari is notoriously "liberal" with their interpretation of weight and I'd be interested as to what they actually weigh. I never could understand why they were notably heavier than an F1.
