Description
The Ferrari F40 is regarded as a true icon of automotive history – uncompromising, purist and, to this day, one of the most coveted legends to emerge from Maranello. As the last Ferrari personally approved by Enzo Ferrari himself, the F40 embodies the very essence of the brand like no other model: maximum performance, reduced to the absolute essentials.
Powered by a 2.9-litre twin-turbocharged V8 producing 352 kW (478 hp), the F40 was the most powerful and fastest production car of its time when it debuted in 1987. Paired with a classic 5-speed manual gearbox, it delivers a raw, analogue driving experience that modern supercars can scarcely replicate. Every gear change, every whistle of the turbochargers and every nuance of chassis feedback makes one thing unmistakably clear: the driver is at the very centre of the experience. Its uncompromising lightweight construction, featuring body panels made from Kevlar, carbon fibre and aluminium, results in an exceptional power-to-weight ratio and a level of driving dynamics that still sets benchmarks today.
The iconic rear wing, Plexiglas windows and minimalist interior devoid of luxury features are not stylistic flourishes, but purely functional elements – genuine motorsport technology brought to the road.
First registered in July 1989, with only three previous owners and a remarkably low mileage of just 27,180 kilometres, this example represents a particularly desirable specification. The Ferrari F40 is no longer merely a supercar, but a blue-chip collector’s item with significant potential for long-term value appreciation.
