The Ferrari F40 is one of the icons of the Italian manufacturer and the latest model to be personally approved by Enzo Ferrari. The auction house Gooding & Company has announced the sale of a 1991 Ferrari F40, and the auction will take place in March.
In the late 80’s, Enzo Ferrari created the 288 GTO Evolution, but they got banned by the FIA for that kind of racing. Since they had a finished car, Enzo decided to make the fastest road car of all time (323 kph). After fourteen months of development, the F40 was presented to the public on July 21, 1987 in Maranello. Only 1315 examples of this model were produced, of which 213 with US-specifications.
The Ferrari F40 is painted in Rosso Corsa red. It is equipped with Independent Double-Wishbone Suspension with Coil-Over Shock Absorbers, Weber-Marelli Electronic Fuel Injection, Cross-Drilled Disc Brakes.
The F40 is powered by a 2.9-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 478 hp (356 kW) and 426 lb-ft (578 Nm) of torque. That’s enough power to push the car up to 62 mph in 4.2 seconds with a top speed of 201 mph (323 km / h). Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission.
It was bought in 1991 and has had three owners so far. It has less than 3,800 miles (6,081 kilometers) on the odometer and comes with books, tools, covers, documentation, and Ferrari Classiche Red Book.
The value of the car is estimated at $ 2,400,000 – $ 2,800,000.
