Think Your F50 is Complete? These Rare Factory Gems Beg to Differ

Having a supercar or any other car whose value rivals that of a small house is only part of the ownership experience. Manufacturers know that without those select few who can afford their flagship models, they would very likely not be in business. To make your ownership experience even more special, and to hopefully have you come back in the future, everyone from Ferrari and Lamborghini to Koenigsegg, Pagani, and Bugatti will include some kind of accessory or item(s) that go(es) along with your new supercar.
What happens when those supercars exchange hands, though? It's likely that some of the items that were originally included with the car either get misplaced or the original owner hangs on to them either by mistake or as a keepsake. That's where companies like AutomobiliaX come in, whose sole focus is to make sure that your ownership experience is as complete as it can be by sourcing these special items or accessories. Examples of this vary wildly, from an original Bugatti EB110 Tool Kit to the Porsche Carrera GT Pre-Delivery Package, but here are two snazzy items you might not have known came with one of Ferrari's most prized examples: the F50.
It should be common sense, of course, that one can't simply drive a Ferrari F50 in a pair of New Balances. That's where the Tod's Ferrari Driving Shoes come in. The Italian luxury brand Tod's has a history of collaborating with Ferrari on special driving shoes, but the F50 driving shoes were made exclusively for Ferrari F50 owners. The shoes featured an F50 label inside and were made by Tod's "Competition" department to make sure you knew they were special. Finding these is about as rare as hen's teeth, but how sweet would you look coming out of your Ferrari F50 with these bad boys on?
Your car might have come with a branded document pouch, but I can promise you it won't beat the official Ferrari F50 document pouch. Not only was it engraved with the original owner's initials, but it also contained a second, numbered inner pouch made by the famed Italian leather craftsmen at Schedoni. Here's the real kicker: in the pouch was a letter from Ferrari that asked you how you felt about your F50 experience. That's the closest you would get to Ferrari calling you up to see how you like your car. Each pouch was also linked to the specific F50 it was delivered with, so even if you happen to find one, the chances that it's the one your F50 came with are even slimmer.
This is only scratching the surface of supercar-exclusive accessories, but you get the idea. Owning something like a Ferrari F50 is something truly special that goes beyond just the car, to the items that come with it, and the inevitable social interactions at any show or gathering. It's the beauty of all of that combined that makes our automotive hobby so special. Now, yes, most of us would be satisfied with simply owning an F50, but for those select few who absolutely must have the entire package as the manufacturer intended, you know who to hit up.
