* We have sold lots of these cars - and vividly remember a spirited drive around the M25 when the cars first came out - and before the advent of speed cameras...

* We have sold the "White Collection" ex - Chris Evans a few times - and have it for sale again - now repainted in it's original red and in "as new" condition - Click here for details.

The Ferrari F40 is a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive, two-door coupé sports car produced by Ferrari from 1987 to 1992 as the successor to the Ferrari 288 GTO. From 1987 to 1989 it was Ferrari's fastest, most powerful, and most expensive car. The car had no traction control, and a rather agressive power delivery from it's twin turbo V8 engine...

Rated by many as the greatest Supercar of them all, the F40 was the last car commissioned by the late Enzo Ferrari, to celebrate 40 years of production at Maranello.

Following on from the 288 GTO Evoluziones, the F40 took the concept of a powerful engine in a lightweight body a stage further. With a power to weight ratio of over 400bhp/ton the F40 set new standards of performance - eclipsing even the Porsche 959 with its 200mph top speed and brutal acceleration.

Even today - these are really good fun to drive - and without the proliferation of driver aids seen in modern supercars - you are reminded what "real" driving is all about when an F40 comes on boost - especially when the road you are travelling on is not completely dry...

Prices

The price of an F40 reached £1 million during the boom of the late 80's (the sum paid for the Nigel Mansell car) and today the price ranges from £270,000 to £400,000 for a standard LHD model.
