The Ferrari F50 is one of the most revered hypercars of the 1990s — a car conceived as a road-going distillation of Ferrari's Formula 1 technology, built to celebrate the company's 50th anniversary in 1995. Of the 349 F50s produced between 1995 and 1997, this 1997 example stands apart by virtue of its extraordinarily rare colour: Giallo Modena.
Giallo Modena is among the most historically resonant and rarest Ferrari colours — named after the city of Modena, birthplace of Ferrari's legacy. Within the 349-unit F50 production, only a very small number were delivered in yellow, making this one of the most collectible and investment-grade specifications in the entire F50 canon.
$9.245 Million USD — World Auction Record (2025): A Giallo Modena Ferrari F50, originally ordered new by fashion designer Ralph Lauren and subsequently owned by Jay Leno, set a world record for the F50 at auction in 2025. This result confirmed the Giallo Modena specification as the most sought-after and highest-value F50 configuration globally.
This 1997 example is presented with under 7,000 km from new — placing it firmly among the most preserved F50s in existence — and is Ferrari Classiche certified, confirming originality of all major components. Multiple options are available through David & Co's private network; full details and documentation are provided to verified qualified buyers.

Authoritative sources on the Ferrari F50 Giallo Modena — including the world record auction sale and Ralph Lauren provenance.
Giallo Modena is among the rarest and most valuable colour specifications for the Ferrari F50. Of the 349 F50s produced, only a very small number were delivered in yellow. In 2025, a Giallo Modena F50 originally ordered by Ralph Lauren set a world record auction price of approximately $9.245 million USD — confirming yellow as the single most coveted F50 specification.
Ferrari produced exactly 349 F50s between 1995 and 1997. Each was originally offered on a lease arrangement to emphasise their exclusive nature. The fixed production of 349 makes every example — especially low-mileage, Classiche-certified yellow cars — exceptionally collectible.
Giallo Modena F50 values are among the highest in the model's range. The 2025 world record sale of $9.245 million USD sets the benchmark. This example's price is on request — contact David & Co for a confidential discussion reflecting the specific mileage, documentation, and options available.
