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.

The 15 Best Luxury Convertibles to Buy Right Now
As the warmer weather sets in, convertible tops can finally retract. At present, the luxury-car market is spoiling us, and our committed skincare regimen, with a startling plethora of quick, sporting, and sybaritic six-figure droptops. And they not only come in all sorts of shapes and configurations, but also with a range of gas, electric, and hybrid options. 'Convertibles have stayed fairly consistent at about .5 percent of all new vehicles sold to consumers each year,' says Alexander Edwards, president of Strategic Vision, a research and consulting firm that conducts hundreds of thousands of surveys with new car buyers annually. 'However, those over $100,000 seem to have jumped significantly in 2020 from just a few vehicles, to 13 percent of the convertible market. That has increased to 22 percent in 2022, and has stayed there till today.' More from Robb Report Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button Both Owned McLarens. Now the Supercars Are Heading to Auction. This Aston Martin Race Car Was the Last of Its Kind. Now It Could Fetch $2 Million at Auction. This Ex-Ralph Lauren Ferrari F50 Could Fetch $7.5 Million at Auction The reason for this growth, according to Edwards' data, is twofold. First, at the start of the pandemic, fully loaded and more profitable convertibles were among the only droptops being produced, as only their economic demographic of consumers were still actively in the roadster market. Then, based on positive feedback, this high-end segment became vibrant and stable. 'Essentially, consumers didn't know what they were missing out on, and now they look for it,' Edwards says. These buyers break down into two main categories, psychographically, Edwards says. About 40 percent of purchasers are what is known as 'Best Performers.' These are true enthusiasts who want the best in the segment. The second largest group, at about 30 percent of buyers, are the 'Status Seekers.' They want people to look at them—and appreciate how much they are into speed and performance. The latter segment is unlikely to diminish anytime soon. 'These buyers are particularly loyal, often mentioning multiple purchases from the same brand or model line,' Edwards says. 'This loyalty underscores the strength of brand identity and customer love within the segment,' something luxury automakers crave and would be silly to relinquish. With all of this in mind, here—in ascending order of price—are some of our favorite roof-optional rides in production. Best of Robb Report The 2024 Chevy C8 Corvette: Everything We Know About the Powerful Mid-Engine Beast The World's Best Superyacht Shipyards The ABCs of Chartering a Yacht Click here to read the full article. Chevy's 'Plastic Fantastic' Corvette offers a startling mix of variants for the eighth generation of its fiberglass-bodied two-seat convertible, and they're each so different that we feel obligated to call them all out. The Corvette eRay Convertible (starting at $113,595) is a blisteringly fast all-wheel-drive hybrid, combining a 495 hp V-8 with a 160 hp electric motor; 60 mph arrives from a stop in 2.5 seconds. The Corvette Z06 Convertible (starting at $120,795) is a focused sports car, with a 670 hp V-8 that revs like a Ferrari; with all that power driving just the rear wheels, it hits 60 mph in 2.7 seconds. Then there's the Corvette ZR1 Convertible (shown above and starting at $184,995)—a ridiculous track monster with a twin-turbocharged, 1,064 hp version of the Z06's power plant, a rear wing better suited to an airplane, and enough added ductwork to crowd a plumbing van. We'll see if it can hit 60 mph without melting its tires, and wheels. BMW's big two-door convertible has been on the market since 2019, outlasting rivals like Mercedes-Benz's S63 Cabriolet (RIP). Its life may expire in 2026, but it perseveres into its twilight solely in compelling Competition form, in which its snarling twin-turbo V-8 produces 671 hp. Coupled with all-wheel drive, this model variant is capable of an absolutely eruptive 2.5-second blast to 60 mph from a standstill, making the M8 droptop a performance bargain. In addition, it features minatory good looks and clean styling left over from before BMW designers lost their minds. It's time to grab one before they're gone. Starting at $150,975 This new 'entry-level' Aston, and its forthcoming droptop sibling, is key to proving and disseminating the brand's upmarket/up-powered strategy. We haven't tried the convertible yet, but the gorgeous coupe surprised and enchanted us with its razor-sharp moves, its 3.5-second rush to 60 mph, the raucous soundtrack from its 656 hp twin-turbo V-8, and its exquisite interior. Aston has long been benchmarking the Porsche 911 here, and with this latest Vantage, it finally shows. It's great to see Aston differentiating its lineup this way. Estimated starting price of $200,000 Maserati's GranCabrio Folgore follows a similar recipe as the Bentley Continental GTC. With a four-place cabin and power sent to all four wheels, the model also yields a zero-to-60 mph time of around 3 seconds. But the similarity ends there. Where the British Bentley is stately and blunt in its appearance and affect, the Italian Maserati is sinuous and lithe. As for the Folgore suffix in its name, which means 'lightning' in Italian, the moniker indicates that this is the 818 hp, fully electric version of the trident brand's sensual grand tourer (a 542 hp gasser is also available.) With an 83 kWh battery, it will go 233 miles on a charge. Starting at $206,995 Like the Porsche 911, Mercedes-AMG's SL comes in seven convertible variants priced over six-figures. Again, we selected the most bahn-burning. This plug-in-hybrid version incorporates a 4.8 kWh battery, which is good for only seven miles of EV range, but adds 201 hp to the standard 603 hp V-8, allowing sub-2.5-second sprints to 60 mph. With all-wheel drive, and all manner of seat, steering wheel, armrest, and neck heaters, along with power-enabled wind deflectors, this roadster is ideal for rollicking top-down runs to the lake house, mountain house, or beach house, in any season. Starting at $208,300 Porsche produces seven convertible variants of its 911, each with different features and performance, and all priced over $100,000. But we favor the top-tier 911 Turbo S, which includes an obstreperous and audacious 640hp, twin-turbo flat-six engine in is lumpy rear. Although that output is the lowest on this list, when coupled with the car's class-leading sub-two-ton curb weight, and all-wheel drive, it's enough to hurl the sporty convertible from zero to 60 mph in a world-blurring 2.2 seconds. At that velocity, the wind may not only be in your hair, it may remove it. Wear a hat. Starting at $245,495 For those Benz SL aficionados more attuned to ultimate luxury than performance, Mercedes-Maybach offers this highly branded boulevard cruiser. Tattooed on its hood, roof, seats, grille, headlights, wheels, and elsewhere with the marque's layered-M monogram—like a giant Louis Vuitton handbag—there will be no mistaking it for any other SL. The Maybach model also loses the SL's vestigial back seat and receives all manner of suspension and sound insulation to deliver a cushier ride. It should be noted, however, that its 577 hp V-8 will still propel the car to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. Estimated starting price of $250,000 Aston Martin has gone upmarket, attempting to benchmark Bentley on luxury and Ferrari on performance. The DB12—the latest in the British brand's 75-year line of DB-monikered cars—splits the difference between these two touchstones. It offers a booming 671 hp twin-turbo V-8, which is good for a 3.3-second rip from zero to 60 mph, as well as a gorgeously appointed cabin. As for that interior, it features an all-new—and surprisingly functional—Aston infotainment interface. And it's all complemented by the quick-retracting top that adds to the joyous rush of driving the car on mountain roads, or blasting along oceanfront boulevards. Starting at $271,825 With 'only' 612 hp from its twin-turbo V-8, Ferrari's Roma Spider is the least potent of the marque's current offerings, and the least potent on this list. But when a car looks this good, it doesn't need to show off its strength. (Its output still enables a run from zero to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds.) Subtle and elegant, the Roma Spider harkens back to mid-20th century Ferrari convertibles, with a cheerfully sneering face, a curvaceous bodyline, and strong rolling fenders. Its soft top isn't as insulating as the retractable hardtops found on its siblings, but there's a simple solution: leave the top down. Starting at $277,970 McLaren's near monomaniacal focus is on decreasing mass so its cars' potent power plants push them further, faster. For the Artura Spider, its entry-level convertible supercar, that means a lightweight plug-in hybrid system that combines with a twin-turbocharged V-6 to produce 690 hp. The Artura is the first model in the British marque's lineup to feature its new McLaren Carbon Lightweight Architecture (MCLA) platform, which the new 750S flagship has been subsequently built on. And while the Artura is not the 'sportiest' McLaren, it still manages to race to 60 mph in just 3 seconds, and it sprints through straightaways and turns like a high-powered go cart, always eliciting joy. Starting at $281,008 Bentley's fourth-generation, 2+2-seat, all-wheel-drive droptop has been enhanced by a plug-in hybrid power-train configuration. The setup combines a twin-turbocharged V-8 with an electric motor to yield a combined 771 hp, enough to catapult the car from zero to 60 mph in around 3 seconds. And the 21.8 kWh battery is capable of 40 miles of range. With the top down, you can really enjoy the bombastic grumble of the exhaust note, or, if you're in nature (or affecting stealth) the whisper rush of EV power. Either way, the hulky three-ton convertible crushes roads with alacrity and precision, and never fails to get noticed. Starting at $336,350 You want a sportier McLaren convertible? Here it is. Its mid-mounted, twin-turbocharged V-8 makes 740 hp, which, when combined with just 3,200 pounds of vehicular mass, results in an almost violent 2.3-second acceleration from zero to 60 mph. The rush turns every freeway onramp into the starting grid and back straight of a Formula 1 race. With the top down, this kind of velocity also acts as temporary cosmetic surgery, which is useful as the wrinkly smile lines derived from driving this two-seat sports car may otherwise become permanent. Such standout styling and performance makes it no surprise that the 750S earned our crown as Robb Report's 2025 Car of the Year. Starting at $337,195 The Prancing Horse marque has slowly been hybridizing its convertible lineup, first in the $2.2 million La Ferrari Aperta of 2016, then in the $600,000 SF90 Spider in 2021, and now in the 296 GTS. Anyone who feared that electrical integration would impact negatively on the precise driving experience delivered by machines from Maranello has, by now, been proven incorrect. The 296 GTS may be our favorite Ferrari hybrid so far, with an explosive 819 hp capable of pushing the lively two-seater to 60 mph from a standstill in under 2.5 seconds. But it's on twisty roads where this car's magnetic capabilities really shine. Starting at $379,950 Saving the best Aston for last? The new Vanquish elevates the marque's performance chops with an 823 hp twin-turbo V-12 that allows the car to cover zero to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, a metric that just bests that of the Vantage. But it also brings a level of sumptuousness that rivals the Bentley Continental GT, with unique and redolent textured leathers. It is almost impossible to appreciate the allure of its carbon-fiber body in photos. The Vanquish coupe is long, low, wide, and mean, but also ludicrously lovely and delicate. We expect the forthcoming convertible to add sunshine to our infatuation. Estimated starting price of $465,000 The Doh-dech-chi Chi-lin-dri's traditionalism is right there in the name, derived from the anachronistically profligate (though melodious) 12-cylinder mill making 830 hp. And as is the case with every Ferrari grand tourer produced since the marque's founding in 1947, that engine is housed in a long hood up front. In accordance with convention, the motor drives only the rear wheels, but is still good for launching the 12Cilindri Spider from zero to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds. A complex mechanism for retracting and hiding the small hardtop roof coexists with a trunk out back that's just large enough to hold one's compact luggage. Starting at $510,000

The Stolen Ferrari F50 FBI Saga
Read the full story on Modern Car Collector The story of the stolen Ferrari F50 is one of deception, crime, and government negligence, culminating in an embarrassing wreck that left insurance companies and federal agencies in a legal battle. This guide breaks down the bizarre journey of one of the rarest Ferraris ever made and how it ended up in the hands of the FBI—only to be totaled in a suspicious accident. In 2003, a Ferrari F50, one of only 349 ever built, sat gleaming in the showroom of Algar Ferrari in Rosemont, Pennsylvania. Enter Tom Baker, a smooth-talking airline pilot with a taste for fast cars. Posing as a tech CEO from California, he convinced the dealership that he was a serious buyer. Without a driver's license but with an air of confidence, Baker managed to take the F50 on a test drive. What happened next was straight out of a heist movie. The moment the salesman stepped out of the car, Baker floored it, disappearing over the horizon in a $500,000 supercar. Authorities believed it would be quickly smuggled overseas, but Baker had a different plan—he kept it for himself, hiding it in suburban Kentucky. For five years, the stolen F50 remained a ghost in the automotive world. Baker, a seasoned conman, had stolen multiple Ferraris in the past, including a Testarossa and a 328 GTS. But in 2008, he attempted to sell the F50 to an emergency room doctor in Kentucky. The sale seemed legitimate until the doctor contacted Ferrari to verify the VIN and engine number. That's when the truth was uncovered—the car was stolen. Panicked, Baker refunded the doctor's money, but it was too late. Law enforcement was alerted, and the FBI seized the F50. Baker was arrested and sentenced to prison, ending his criminal joyrides. Motors Insurance Corp., which had paid Algar Ferrari for the stolen F50, was relieved to hear it had been recovered. But they wouldn't see it again in one piece. In May 2009, FBI Special Agent Frederick Kingston and Assistant U.S. Attorney J. Hamilton Thompson took the Ferrari for a drive in Kentucky. The official story was that they were moving the vehicle to a storage facility, but within seconds of leaving the parking lot, disaster struck. The F50 lost control, fishtailed, and slammed into a tree. The carbon-fiber frame was severely damaged, rendering the car a total loss. While Thompson's email described the crash as a minor mishap, photos revealed the extent of the damage—the monocoque was broken, and the car was beyond repair. The insurance company, stunned by the destruction of the car they legally owned, demanded compensation. Initially, the FBI told Motors Insurance they could file a claim for damages. However, in 2010, the U.S. Department of Justice denied the claim, arguing that the Ferrari was 'being detained by the FBI' at the time of the wreck. According to federal law, the government cannot be sued for property damage when an asset is in law enforcement custody. Motors Insurance, unwilling to accept the loss, filed Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests seeking details about the crash. The FBI and DOJ ignored or denied these requests. Frustrated, the insurance company filed a lawsuit in federal court to force the agencies to release information and compensate them for the $750,000 loss. Despite mounting legal pressure, the FBI refused to admit fault, sticking to its position that it was not liable for damages. The insurance company argued that the car was not being 'detained' but rather had been voluntarily lent to the FBI, making them responsible for its destruction. As the case dragged on, a key question emerged—why was the Ferrari being driven in the first place? If it was purely being relocated, why did it crash within seconds? Some suspected a joyride gone wrong, as high-powered supercars require an experienced driver to handle them, especially one as rare and powerful as the F50. Meanwhile, the remains of the wrecked Ferrari disappeared from public view. Whether it was scrapped, stored, or salvaged remains a mystery. What is clear, however, is that a car once stolen by a daring conman was ultimately wrecked in the hands of those sworn to uphold the law. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter

Ferrari F50 Gets Incredibly Thoroughly Detailed
Read the full story on Backfire News It's great to see someone has thoroughly enjoyed driving this Ferrari F50, but the result is the supercar has become dirty and suffered some cosmetic damage. That's just the reality of driving a vehicle, even gently, which we suppose is why some put rides like this in a preservation bubble. We'd rather see this F50 driven, then go through a thorough detailing to restore its former that's exactly what we get in the included video. A professional detailing shop goes to town on the F50, putting it through one of the most thorough detailing jobs we've ever seen performed on one. While the Ferrari F40 gets plenty of attention, and understandably so, the F50 constituted a giant leap forward for supercars from Maranello. Ditching the V8, Ferrari went with a screaming naturally aspirated V12. Pininfarina designed the aerodynamic, svelte bodywork which was a huge departure from previous Ferrari models, marking a new direction for the brand. Fans of the F50, and there are plenty of them, will be delighted to see all kinds of nooks and crannies they wouldn't normally get to explore, all through this detailing video. After all, it starts with the Ferrari on a lift and the undercarriage getting cleaned up. You even get to see the F50 with the seats out as the detailers clean literally everywhere. They even replace the seat trim. Of course, the detailing includes a good washing and paint correction, leaving that iconic Rosso Corsa looking dazzling as ever. The same goes for all those carbon-fiber parts, including in the interior and engine compartment, with the finish getting scratched and dull over time, something a good polishing reverses to perfection.
