1990 Ferrari F40 For Sale

The Ferrari F40 was announced in the summer of 1987 as the ultimate supercar of its generation. The last car unveiled by Mr Enzo Ferrari himself, before his death a little over a year later, it was named to celebrate his recent 40th anniversary as a car maker.

The F40 was given the same 2. 9L twin turbocharged V8 engine as the 288 GTO, however it was enlarged from 2, 855cc to 2, 936cc. This enlargement gave it 478 bhp at 7, 000 rpm and it red-lined at 7, 700 rpm - some 20% more than the 288 GTO.

Once the enormous power was combined with a very low weight, race engineered suspension, huge tyres and trailblazing aerodynamics, the F40 could achieve a very high level of performance. It was, when released, the fastest road-going car made. Top speed was claimed to be 201 mph (the first car to break the 200mph benchmark), and it could accelerate from 0-60 mph in 3. 5 secs, going on to reach 120mph in 11. 5 secs.

With cost of around £200, 000 new, Ferrari expected to sell a few hundred F40s, however the demand for what was to become the last car signed off by Enzo himself was such that in total around 1, 300 examples were sold worldwide and thus became one of the brand's most profitable models to date

The example we're offering here is a Cat, Adjust car that was first delivered in 1990 via SA. MO. CAR Roma, Italy. It sits today in superb condition after being thoroughly cared for by its small handful of owners over the years. The car’s history file holds a vast number of sundry invoices and MOT certificates detailing the work done to the car over the years.

Also included with the car are the original owner’s manual and service booklet as well as two classic car magazines that feature the car on their cover and in following articles. The car will be sold with Classiche Certification and replacement fuel tanks included in the asking price.

The story of the F40 is something unique and to this day it remains one of the most recognisable supercars ever made; not only fantastic to drive but also a safe long-term investment.
