Ferrari's 40th anniversary halo. Twin-turbo V8 with 478 horsepower. Pure analog character. Enzo Ferrari's last car.
The Ferrari F40 is a mid-engine supercar produced from 1987 to 1992 to commemorate Ferrari 40th anniversary. The F40 was Enzo Ferrari last car; he died in 1988, the year after the F40 launched. The car was designed as a pure-bred performance machine with no driver aids: no ABS, no power steering, no adjustable dampers, no traction control. The driver was the only safety system. The F40 used the F120A 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 making 478 horsepower. The chassis was tube frame with carbon fiber and Kevlar bodywork. Five-speed manual transmission. The car weighed around 2,425 pounds, providing exceptional power-to-weight ratio. Top speed was 201 mph (verified), making the F40 the first production car to break 200 mph. The F40 was produced in 1,311 examples (significantly more than originally planned, due to high demand). The car has been continuously celebrated as one of the great Ferraris ever produced. The combination of analog character, naturally aspirated power, and pure-bred performance has made the F40 one of the most desirable Ferraris ever made. Modern F40 prices have appreciated dramatically. Clean examples sell for $1.5 million to $3 million+ at auction. The car has been cited by many car magazines as the greatest Ferrari ever made. On WhipJury, F40 submissions are extremely rare but always memorable. The cultural significance and pricing make F40 appearances rare; when they appear, they reliably top voting on history alone.
