Rod Stewart, Clint Eastwood and Mike Tyson have all owned one.
Ferrari only produced 349 examples of the F50, which at the time, was the closest a driver could come to a modern F1 vehicle.
The one for sale is just one of 55 models ever to be delivered to the USA.
Finished in the iconic Ferrari red exterior, the motor is in magnificent condition.
Powered by a hair-raising V-12 engine, the Ferrari has an impressive 513 bhp.
The F50 can reach 0-60mph in just 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 202mph.
The interior of the car is kitted out with leather-trimmed seats, adjustable ride height, and air conditioning.
The RM Sotheby’s auction takes place on 15 August in Monterey, California, US, as reported by Luxury Auto News.
A Sotheby’s spokesperson said: “An outstanding example of its type, with 8,556 miles at the time of cataloguing and complete with original accessories, this well-known, thrice-platinum-awarded F50 is deserving of the finest collection.
“Not just a mere ‘supercar’, a term that even in the mid-1990s was beginning to suffer from overuse, it was as near as one could come to a modern F1 car for the street—but with leather-trimmed seats, air conditioning, and adjustable ride height.
“Ferrari ensured the model’s rarity and desirability by producing just 349 numbered examples—so it is said, one fewer than they thought they could sell—through 1998.
“It became a favourite of marque-focused collectors and is now considered one of the critical components of the illustrious “Big Five” hypercar portfolio that the most dedicated tifosi build for their stables.”
