To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Ferrari marque, a
state-of-the-art supercar was unveiled at the 1987 Frankfurt Motor
Show. The F40 was intended to bring Ferrari's technical prowess
from the racetrack to the autostrada and, in so doing, reinforce
the direct connection between the company's legendary competition
history and the sports cars it sold to customers.
At the heart of the F40 was a three-liter four-cam V-8 with four
valves per cylinder, Weber-Marelli fuel injection, and twin IHI
turbochargers. Developing 478 bhp and an impressive 426 lbs./ft of
torque, the F40 was capable of 200 mph and 0 to 60 in less than
four seconds.
There was no question that Ferrari had built a worthy symbol with
which to celebrate its anniversary. Originally planned as a run of
400, demand was such that 1,300 examples were built before
production ceased in 1991. This F40 is 1 of only 213 examples built
specifically for the US market.
In collector ownership, this F40 is complete with books, tool,
records, luggage and has led a charmed live to date. It is not only
a concours example, it runs and drives as good as it looks and as
originally intended by Ferrari when manufactured new. This F40 has
absolutely no disappointments whatsoever. Inspections are
welcomed.
