This is how Ferrari celebrated its 50th Anniversary in Japan
MANILA: Slowly, most of the automakers are following the trend of introducing an anniversary edition to celebrate the glorious journey of the particular car. But, it is very rare that an entirely new model is introduced on the anniversary of the brand. The automaker which has done it this time is none other than Ferrari. Yes, to celebrate its 50th anniversary in Japan, Ferrari has launched limited edition J50. Designed by Ferrari Styling Center in Maranello, the two-seater, mid-engine sports car is a limited edition with just 10 models on sale.
Considering the special J50, it is a standard 488 Spider, which has undergone cosmetic changes to come up with a much more appealing design. The swooping lines, and futuristic design language of the car reflects the aggressive tone of J50 in an effective manner. The wide front air intake, sleek LED headlights, and character lines that wrap around the doors and front fenders all hint towards the immense power of this roadster.
The J50 also hint towards the return of Targa body style of Ferrari which were prominent between 1970 and 1980 while the unique door windows of the roadster give a ‘helmet visor’ effect. Even the rear has been modified to a great extent, featuring polycarbonate engine cover and quad taillight design. Complementing the overall design are the 20-inch forged alloy wheels and a new rear diffuser.
Powering Ferrari J50 is a 3.9-litre biturbo V8 engine, which churns out a maximum power output of 690 PS and peak torque of 760 Nm. Clocking 100 kmph from naught will take mere 3 seconds and one can reach a top speed of 325 kmph in this beast.
Ferrari will make only 10 models of J50 with each model specifically customised according to the customer’s requirement. We hope Ferrari should also introduce such beauty in the Philippines as well at its 50th anniversary.
