Description
Power is provided by a mid-mounted 2,936cc quad-cam V8 equipped with twin water-cooled turbochargers, dual intercoolers, dry-sump lubrication, twin oil coolers, and Weber-Marelli electronic injection and ignition. Additional features include composite body panels finished in Rosso Corsa, an all-synchromesh five-speed manual transaxle, unassisted hydraulic disc brakes with 13” cross-drilled and ventilated rotors, staggered-width 17” center-lock Speedline wheels, composite seats upholstered in red cloth, Sabelt four-point harnesses, and air conditioning.
Development of the F40 arose from the remnants of an effort to design a Group B homologation variant of the 288 GTO, with Ferrari redirecting the project’s focus from the ill-fated racing class toward the creation of a street-legal performance offering. The resulting model entered production in 1987 as the last Ferrari to be designed and launched under Enzo Ferrari’s leadership. Planned output was initially limited to 400 examples, although production was increased in response to high demand.
Each F40 was finished in Rosso Corsa over 11 body panels that were molded from composite materials including Kevlar, carbon, and aluminum and bonded to a steel tube-frame chassis. Pininfarina-styled design elements include eight NACA ducts, a polycarbonate engine cover with cooling louvers, a front chin spoiler, a rear wing, a rear diffuser, a polycarbonate windshield, and popup headlights situated behind faired-in driving lights and turn signals.
Multipiece 17” Speedline alloy wheels are secured by octagonal nuts locked in place by R-clips and were mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport tires measuring 235/45 up front and 335/35 at the rear
