About the 1987 Ferrari F40

Built to commemorate Ferrari's 40th anniversary, the F40 became an instant icon and remains the ultimate analog supercar. Just 1,315 were produced from 1987-1992, each powered by a twin-turbocharged 2.9L V8 delivering 478 horsepower in gloriously raw fashion. Pininfarina's purposeful design prioritized function over comfort, no power steering, minimal sound deadening, and Lexan rear windows. The result was pure, unfiltered performance: 0-60 in 3.8 seconds and over 200 mph. As the last Ferrari personally approved by Enzo Ferrari, the F40 carries immense historical significance. Values have skyrocketed from the original $399,150 MSRP to well over $1.5 million for pristine examples. The F40's combination of extreme rarity, racing pedigree, and status as the end of an era makes it the crown jewel of many collections.
