There may be quite a few F40's floating around, but some are a bit more unique than others. The first run of the legendary twin-turbo supercar featured non-adjustable suspension, Lexan race windows, no door cards, and came from the factory without any catalytics. After quite a bit of chasing we purchased one of these Ferrari F40's and its pedigree didnt end with its early production status. This car belonged to Legendary Formula One driver, Nigel Mansell who was gifted the car by none other than Ferrari Founder, Enzo Ferarri in celebration of Nigel's signing to the Scuderia F1 Team in 1989.

Just went into it cold, no words, just let the car do the talking. That was amazing, John.

I love F40 but i will never afford one .. once an F40 is pulled out to be driven it always create a paranoia around.. at 4:39 is on traffic highway on left lane a Tesla S (with no sound) in the middle the F40(loud & spitting flames) and on the right a new BMW X5 of which lady passenger got her phones out to take some photos / filming the most insane shoot.. ;0)

I think the best part must be the lady around the 4:25 mark... Filming the F40, from the passenger seat of that SUV. While I doubt she's into cars (I could be wrong), she can tell the F40 is a special car... It sounds great, even cruising around like that. What a car....

I was 20 when this car came out and I bought every magazine I saw with any article written on it. The most interesting thing was the hyped up rivalry with the 959. Awesome stuff and oh, I wish I had keep those magazines. I actually was more amazed with the 959 because of the steps taken in technology by Porsche but now the rawness of the F40 is so much more crazy.

And also anybody else irritated by how close and careless the BMW driver was. I know i would be incredibly excited to see one in the flesh but give it some space, that's millions of dollars going down the street.

@redporschekilla 3 года назад

For me still today, the “holy grail” of super cars, the F40. One of my catchlines in the corporate world is “every man’s got a price, my price is the title of a Ferrari F40…. Only, else forget it there’s no price interesting enough for me” 😁.

Curious fact, the first F40 manufactured in 1987 for the Italian market before the restrictions, produced more than 650hp and weighed less than 1100kg with fluids, the maximum speed of these cars was above 370km/h, and in fact the American version has no more hp than the European one, it only has more hp than the number declared by Ferrari, but all tests done comparing the European and American versions to the European ones have more hp!

Great vid John. Remember the fuss when he sold car. I was in Ferrari sales back then. Thinking it was the court case and the fact he’d negotiated in his contract a Ferrari dealership on the channel island he lived on too. In those days premiums were frowned upon by the factory so big surprise when he made the sale in the first place. Keep up the great work.

@majinari8552 3 года назад

I fell in love with the F40 when I saw it’s body, it’s pure elegance. I didn’t know what Ferrari even was, but I knew beauty when I saw it. People say “got my dream car thanks to only fans” and post pics with a Corolla, one day I’ll work for my true dream car a Ferrari F40. - 25yo Ariel

@veno8mm 3 года назад

I could watch/listen to that car blast around the city and interstates everyday for the rest of my life. Never to have it grow old or boring. F1 might be the ultimate road car. The F40 to me is the most sinister street stalker ever to be unleashed on public roads. And this is from a motorsports kid growing up with Schumacher as the villain driving around in the red Ferrari that always wins. Of course now looking back thankful for MSC and sadden that our eras Sir Sterling Moss/Jacky ickx/Chapman/Stewart cannot be seen racing off into the sunset at Goodwood.
