The Ferrari F40 is an iconic supercar that embodies the pure essence of speed and performance. With its striking design and aggressive stance, the F40 commands attention on the road. The body is crafted from lightweight materials like carbon fibre and Kevlar, ensuring optimal aerodynamics and reducing overall weight for enhanced performance.
At the rear lies the heart of the F40, a mid-mounted 2.9-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine that roars to life with an enhanced exhaust note from its period Tubi system. The F40's engine is mated to a dogleg five-speed manual transmission, delivering a raw and engaging driving experience.
Inside the F40, the focus is purely on the essentials. The cockpit features lightweight bucket seats, a three-spoke steering wheel, and a simple instrument cluster, all designed to provide the driver with a direct connection to the car. The absence of creature comforts and luxury amenities further emphasizes the F40's track-oriented nature, highlighting its commitment to delivering an unadulterated driving experience.
As one of Ferrari's most revered models, this 4-owner 1992 F40 holds a special place in automotive history being a cat/ non-adjust model from the final model year. Its combination of breathtaking performance, striking design, and uncompromising focus on speed make it an enduring symbol of automotive excellence and an object of desire for car enthusiasts and collectors alike.
A true rarity, this example is 'unknown' in the collector/investor market due to the current owner having cherished the car for over 23 years - the majority of this time in dry storage with a renowned marque specialist. Due to this, the car has no 'digital' footprint, has recently been subject to a recent overhaul of the suspension, fuel bladders, seats, wheels and cambelt - a fine addition to any Ferrari aficionados collection to use and enjoy.
This beautiful F40 has recently been consigned, we are now taking enquiries for pre-viewings.
