Offered complete with its original leather document pouch and owner’s manuals, this F40 represents a true collector grade example of Ferrari’s most uncompromising road car. As the first production supercar to exceed 200 mph, the F40 remains the definitive Ferrari and a cornerstone of any serious collection, combining rarity, provenance and raw performance in a way no other model can.
The Ferrari F40 stands as one of the most important and recognisable supercars ever produced, created to mark Ferrari’s 40th anniversary and widely considered the last model personally approved by Enzo Ferrari. Launched in 1987, it represents Ferrari at its most focused, built with a singular goal of delivering uncompromised performance and driver engagement. Advanced materials such as kevlar, carbon fibre and aluminium were used extensively, pushing the limits of road car engineering at the time and defining the F40’s purposeful, aggressive design.
At its heart lies a 2.9 litre twin turbocharged V8 producing approximately 478hp, paired with a classic gated five speed manual gearbox. With a remarkably low weight of around 1200 kg, the F40 became the first production car to exceed 200 mph, offering explosive acceleration and an unmistakably raw, turbocharged driving experience. Every element, from the vast rear wing and NACA ducts to the stripped back interior, serves a clear function, resulting in a machine that feels closer to a race car than a conventional road car. Today, the F40 is rightly regarded as one of the most revered collector cars in the world, a defining symbol of the analogue supercar era, visceral, beautiful and entirely uncompromising.
