Ferrari produced the F40, launched in 1987 as the company's 40th-anniversary supercar.
The F40 was the final Ferrari road car personally approved by company founder Enzo Ferrari, who died in 1988. It evolved from the 288 GTO Evoluzione project and was engineered with a strong emphasis on low weight, aerodynamic efficiency and high performance rather than luxury or comfort.
Its body used composite materials, while a mid-mounted 2.9-litre twin-turbocharged V8 supplied power to the rear wheels. The cabin was notably sparse by grand-touring standards, with lightweight construction and limited driver aids. The design was created by Pininfarina.
The F40 is sometimes confused with the 288 GTO because both are limited-production, turbocharged Ferrari sports cars. The 288 GTO preceded it, while the F40 was developed as the anniversary model and became one of Ferrari's best-known 1980s cars.
