The ultimate Ferrari of the 1980s, the F40 was one of the company’s original true supercars. Pioneering the use of carbon fiber in a road car, it was designed with lightness and aerodynamics in mind, with no concessions made for luxury.
Most remarkable was the twin-turbocharged V8 engine, derived from the 288 GTO, which achieved 478 horsepower. Zero to 60 mph took 3.8 seconds, and the F40 broke the Porsche 959’s record for the fastest production car ever built, having a top speed in excess of 200 mph.
These Ferrari supercars were immensely desirable when new, with bidding wars ensuing to acquire one and many changing hands at far above their original list price, and they have scarcely become less so since. Today the F40 is still rightfully regarded as one of the most significant modern Ferraris, and no collection of Maranello’s finest can be seen as complete without one.
