Some Interesting Ferrari F40 Facts
- 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.
Ferrari F40 Price
The F40 is Ferrari's last car approved by Enzo himself – a raw, twin-turbo V8 supercar that redefined performance. Only 1,311 units were built.
Here's the ultimate market breakdown:
1. Price Ranges (EUR, Mid-2024)
By Condition & Provenance

2. Key Value Drivers
✅ Originality
- Unmodified engine (478hp 2.9L V8 TT) – Non-matching blocks deduct €500k+
- Factory "Plexiglass" windows – Later glass replacements hurt value
✅ Provenance
- Celebrity ownership (e.g., Schumacher's F40: €6.2M in 2017)
- Single-owner cars fetch 20% premiums
✅ Market Location
- EU-spec (Catalytic): 10% less than non-cat US/JDM models
3. Where to Buy?
- Top Auction Houses: RM Sotheby's, Gooding & Co.
- Ferrari Specialists: Talacrest, DK Engineering
- Private Collections (Most trade off-market)
(Fun Fact: The F40's bare-carbon interior was designed to save weight – even the glovebox was deleted!)
Need Verification? I can decode chassis plates (e.g. ZFFGJ34B000089403 = 1989 EU model).
(Last Tip: Avoid "recommissioned" F40s – factory seals broken during restoration can deduct €300k+ from value.)
