Ferrari F40 upgraded by Officina Fioravanti

The Ferrari F40 is the last Ferrari automobile personally approved by Enzo Ferrari and is considered an icon of the automotive industry. However, Italian company Officine Fioravanti has unveiled the F40 Alte Prestazioni project, a modern version of the Ferrari F40.

The Italian company’s goal was to focus on safety, stability and handling, but also to preserve the precious original components, and to truly encourage owners to drive their cars.

The F40 Alte Prestazioni includes new suspension arms, hubs and bearings, Ohlins TTX 36 shock absorbers, which should help tame the harsh steering while making the F40 more comfortable and refined to drive.

The rest of the equipment includes new brakes, carbon ceramic discs with six-piston calipers at the front, a modern ABS system, a new set of 18″ and 19″ rims wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires.

The company is still keeping many details under wraps, so it is not known whether there have been any changes to the engine or how much the upgrade will cost.

Lando Norris’ Ferrari F40 crashed into a road barrier

The new year has just begun, and car accidents involving legendary models have already begun. One happened a few days ago in Monaco when a Ferrari F40 owned by British-Belgian motorsports racing driver Lando Norris ended up in a road barrier.

A video posted on Instagram shows the F40 driving on a mountain road near Monaco. After turning left, the driver suddenly lost control, apparently due to excessive steering and braking, causing it to spin out onto the road and then hit a road barrier. Fortunately, the damage to the car was not catastrophic.

The Ferrari F40 is powered by a 2.9-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 471 hp (352 kW) and 426 lb-ft (578 Nm) of torque, mated to a five-speed manual transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. It reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.2 seconds with a top speed of 201 mph (323 km/h).

According to available information, Norris was not behind the wheel because he was in Dubai at the time of the accident. He has owned the car since late last year and has been photographed in it several times on the streets of Monaco.
