What’s the one thing better than a new Ferrari? A surprise new Ferrari. The Italian carmaker has announced, somewhat out of the blue (or red…), the J50. It’s pretty wild, we’re sure you’ll agree.
It’s a limited-run model, with just ten being made, and sold at cost we estimate to be many thousands of pounds (no actual number, sorry). It marks 50 years of Ferrari selling cars in Japan, which should nicely decode its name for you.
Underneath its skin sits a Ferrari 488 Spider, with its 3.9-litre turbo V8 tuned up by 20bhp, to 681bhp. It did not need this, but we welcome the additional power nonetheless. Expect incremental gains over the standard Spider’s 3.0sec 0-62mph time and 202mph top speed.
