About this car
The Ferrari F40, produced from 1987 to 1992, is an iconic mid-engine supercar, with approximately 1,311 units manufactured. Designed to celebrate Ferrari’s 40th anniversary, it was the last car personally approved by Enzo Ferrari, adding to its historical significance. The F40 was engineered for raw performance, featuring a 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine that delivered 471 horsepower, enabling a top speed of 201 mph (324 km/h) and a 0-60 mph time of just 4.2 seconds, making it the fastest production car of its era.
For exotic car collectors, the F40’s rarity and status as a benchmark of 1980s automotive design drive its appeal. Its lightweight construction, using carbon fiber, Kevlar, and aluminum, along with a spartan interior devoid of luxury amenities, reflects its race-inspired ethos. Values have soared in recent years, with auction prices often exceeding $2 million, and pristine or low-mileage examples fetching even higher. No official special editions were produced, but its limited production run and uncompromised design ensure its exclusivity. The F40 remains a pinnacle of analog supercar engineering, highly sought after for its purity and historical importance in Ferrari’s lineage.
