The legendary Ferrari F40 is one of the last cars that Enzo had a hand in creating. It is a result of the works penned by the former and famed Pininfarina designer Leonardo Fioravanti, with some of his credits being the Daytona 365GTB/4, Ferrari Dino, Berlinetta Boxer 512 and Ferrari GTO. What started out to be a modest successor to the 288 GTO, deviated dramatically than was originally planned. After spending some time in the wind tunnel and track time experimenting with a newly designed small displacement twin turbocharged V8, the result was the 200+ mph F40 super car.
This F40 has been preserved in like new condition and maintained by professional Ferrari mechanics. The 2.9 litre twin turbocharged V8 generates some 471 horsepower and can sprint to 60 in under 4 seconds. The F40 comes from the factory as a lightweight street car fitted with the bare essentials: full instrumentation, 360 kmh speedometer, racing carbon fiber bucket seats, quick release 4 point shoulder harnesses and air-conditioning. The F40 is docile enough to be driven on any street, yet fierce enough to wreak havoc on any race track. The F40 was priced at $400,000 when new, and due to their rarity, somewhere around 1200 cars produced over a 5 year span, have become one of the fastest appreciating Ferraris in recent years.
