Released in 1987 to celebrate Ferrari’s 40th anniversary, the F40 was the last car personally approved by founder Enzo Ferrari before his passing. With its lightweight construction, a twin-turbocharged V8 engine delivering over 470 horsepower, and a top speed of 201 mph, the F40 set new standards in speed and handling. Its raw, no-frills design, with minimal creature comforts and an emphasis on aerodynamics, made it a driver's car in every sense. The F40 remains a symbol of Ferrari’s commitment to racing technology and has cemented its place as one of the most revered supercars in history.
Twin-turbo V8
The Ferrari F40's engine is a twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V8 that produces 478 horsepower, allowing the iconic supercar to reach speeds of over 200 mph, and it's one of the last models personally overseen by Enzo Ferrari before his death in 1988.
Timeless Design
The F40 was designed by Pininfarina, who crafted its sleek, flowing lines that have been widely admired and often imitated. One of the car's most distinctive features, aside from the tall rear wing, is the transparent plastic engine cover.
40 Years of Excellence
The F40 was named to mark Ferrari's 40th anniversary, celebrating the brand's journey from 1947 to 1987. Unlike many automakers who create special edition models with minor cosmetic changes, the Ferrari F40 was built as a true performance powerhouse.
