Description[]
"The last road car worked on by the founder, Enzo Ferrari."
A very special Ferrari was announced by company founder, Enzo Ferrari, in July 1987. Dubbed the F40, this car was to mark the company's 40th anniversary, billed as Ferrari's "street-legal racing car".
Signore Ferrari spared no costs when building this dream machine. The F40's structure utilized a steel-tube frame in the same manner as other Ferrari road cars of the 1980's, but various internal and external chassis components were composed of carbon-fiber and Kevlar, the newest, lightest, high-tech composite material available at the time.
The car's body panels were a structural part of the chassis, and its tube frame foundation was constructed from Kevlar and aluminum honeycomb sections, the preferred manufacturing method for racing cars at the time.
Powering the lightweight car was a twin-turbocharged, 2.9-liter DOHC V8 with a 90 degree bank angle, based on the power plant for the Ferrari's Group B 288 GTO; however, the one in the F40 had a larger displacement and altered boost pressures. As a result, the F40 produced an amazing 478 HP and 425.2 lb-ft of torque. The 1100 kg car could run to 62 mph in about 4 seconds and reach a top speed of 201 mph (323 km/h), making it the fastest production car in the world at the time.
It was truly fitting that the F40 represented the final road car produced by Enzo Ferrari, and it's as appealing and awe-inspiring today as the day it first appeared more than 20 years ago.
Dealership (GT7)[]
The F40 was the last Ferrari to have been personally approved by the company's founder, Enzo Ferrari. The development codename of the F40 was "LM", standing for "Le Mans". You can see that it was designed as a road car, while it has the appearance of a serious race car. Some say the F40 suffers from turbo lag and peaky engine... but I consider it to be a very refined example of Ferrari engineering. Many professional driers maintain that the engine has very few shortcomings if it is properly controlled. That means, if you have the driving skill, you can handle it.
Café (GT7)[]
Fabio Filippini[]
If there is a car that perfectly represents Ferrari's spirit... It is, without a doubt, the F40. The progenitor of all hypercars, it has assumed a mythic status among enthusiasts. In keeping with Pininfarina's legendary designs... It combines the cabin of its base car with a low body inspired by competition racing. It sports retractable headlights and indicators set behind smoked Plexiglas. In addition to the small NACA ducts on the bonnet and side, there are four 'gills' in GTO-style behind the rear wheel... Each of which serve as functional air intakes. Other characteristic elements include... Its horizontal black groove and three round central exhausts. In pure 80's fashion, the initials F40 are printed in relief on the right side of the huge rear wing.
