Without a doubt. Although it doesn't quite have the performance numbers of the F50, this car hauled!

It's got a Twin-Turbo V8 putting out 478 hp and 425 ft/lbs!

Have you ever heard one? I've heard recordings, and...well..."nobody does rip and snort like Ferrari"

The performance stats were very similar.

F40 stats from September 1991 Road & Track:

O - 60: 3.9 sec
0 - 100: 7.7 sec
¼ mile: 11.7 @ 126.5 mph
Top speed: 196.1 (another magazine tested it to 201 mph)
Suggested price: $395,000

Not sure about the F50, but there is no way it can be much quicker than that.

Well, the F50 gets to 60 in 3.6 seconds and Ferrari claims a top speed of 202 mph.

1996 Ferrari F50
513/8500 HP
347/6500 TQ
0-60 3.8
1/4 mile 12.1/123
Top speed 194
C&D 1/97

It's the greatest ferrari of all time, when people think ferrari, they see F40 in their minds

It may be the greatest Ferrari of all time...that's debatable. But, when I see a ferrari I see a V12 up front. Like a 250GTO of a 550. Those are both classic Ferrari.

that's the other one, i'm pretty sure most people.... that don't know a huge amount about cars, the ferrari's they think of would be 250GTO and F40

but they'd prob now recent cars too

The 250 GTO will always be the best in my mind. Nothing touches it.

That's true. When I was younger, when someone mentioned Ferrari, I immediately see a F40 in my mind. I guess that's because my first ever die-cast model was a F40.....gone to scrapped though, a shame....

Well, the F40 was good, but not that good. When i think Ferrari I think red.

Whenever I think Ferrari, I think Red also and a F50, only because people talk about how great it is. The F40 kicks more ass though I think it was around before Enzo died. If so that's probably why the Value will continuely go up. I saw an ad in Dupont Registry for an guy who kept his F40 in his Living Room for 7 years. :confused:

Beautiful car! Definately my favorite Ferrari!

When I was a kid, the Ferrari I pictured when I thought of a Ferrari was the Testarossa. Now I find it plain and boring compared to contemporary Ferraris like the 360, 550, and classic supercar models like the F40.

if i had an f40 id put it in my house and sleep in it! hell i wouldnt leave it because id be rich id just sit there rev and listen to the sweet sound of the best ferrari in my time. - Beez

When I think Ferrari, I think 288 GTO...like your model F40, my 288GTO model is confined to the dumpster:(

here are two F40 variations that I came across. Loved the pics so much that I had to post them here!

First is the GTE and next is the LM.

and now the LM

This car is amazing... i saw one once driving by.. the sound was something else.... :flash:
has anyone found any clips of an F40 racing a 959 on the net???
i'd love to see something like that so if you know of any please post up the address

cheers

I just have to comment and say that the F40 pictured above is one sweet-ass looking machine! :D

i'll second that!! :D

:thirds that:

The F40, my favorite of the mid engine prancing horses.

I just have to say that the F40 is the sexiest thing on earth... in car form. :frog:

Also, I think when most people think Ferrari the name Testerossa comes to mind... but they are probably imagining a picture of an F40. Either that or they have Ferris Beuller flashbacks like me.

And I do think "Testarossa," but I see a Testarossa in my mind, too. (of course! ;))

I think Magnum P.I. and a 308GTB.

But that's probably just me. ;)

Nice pics of a bitchin, kick ass car.:D :D

it's a race car. it's supposed to be as light as possible, therefore no luxuries. makes sense, no?

I saw that exact car last week saturday, it was sitting in the main showroom floor of exotic imports.

Whoa I never knew it had F40 etched into the side of the rear wing. I guess you learn something new everyday.
