Last Ferrari Approved by Enzo Ferrari The F40 was the final Ferrari personally approved by Enzo Ferrari before his death in 1988, giving it a special place in the brand’s history.

Built to Celebrate Ferrari’s 40th Anniversary Introduced in 1987, the F40 was designed to commemorate Ferrari’s 40th anniversary — hence the name “F40.”

First Production Car to Break the 200 mph Barrier With a top speed of 324 km/h (201 mph), the F40 was the first road-legal production car to exceed 200 mph, setting a new benchmark in supercar performance.

Twin-Turbocharged V8 Power The F40 features a 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine producing 471 hp and 577 Nm of torque, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.

Extremely Lightweight Construction Ferrari used carbon fiber, Kevlar, and aluminum in the F40’s body and chassis, achieving a curb weight of around 1,100 kg (2,425 lbs) — extremely light for its time.

No Frills, All Speed The F40 was a bare-bones, driver-focused machine. It had no ABS, no traction control, no power steering, and no radio. Even the windows were manually operated.

Minimalist, Race-Inspired Interior Inside, the F40 had bucket seats, red fabric upholstery, exposed carbon fiber panels, and basic instrumentation — everything was focused on performance, not luxury.

Originally Planned as a Limited Run Ferrari planned to build just 400 units, but due to overwhelming demand, they produced 1,311 F40s between 1987 and 1992.

Designed by Pininfarina The sleek yet aggressive body was styled by Leonardo Fioravanti at Pininfarina, featuring an iconic rear wing, NACA ducts, and pop-up headlights.

One of the Most Valuable Classic Ferraris Today Once sold for around $400,000, the F40 now regularly commands $2–3 million or more at auctions, making it one of the most collectible modern Ferraris.
