Ferrari F40

This is the car that would replace the Countach on kids’ bedroom walls in the late 80’s. Ferrari’s owner Enzo, was 90 years old and wanted to die knowing his company was still at the top of its game. The 3 liter twin turbo V8 F40 of 1987 celebrated Ferraris 40th anniversary and made a legend on his last legs a very happy man indeed. It had a full carbon fiber body, as lightness was the order of the day – even the paint was so thin that you could see the weave of the carbon fiber beneath it.
