Ferrari F40

The F40 entered production in 1987 as the successor of the 288 GTO. 1,315 examples were made until 1992 when the saga continued with the F50. Designed to celebrate Ferrari's 40th anniversary, it was the last Ferrari personally approved by Enzo Ferrari. The F40 is essential to any Ferrari collection. The car produces 471 HP and 426 lb-fts of torque to the rear wheels.

The car features a heavily reworked variant of the 90-degree V-8 engine equipped with twin turbochargers of 2,936 cc. Peak power was 478 bhp at 7,000 rpm. The F40 broke the 200 mph barrier, achieving a top speed of 201.4 mph. Factory suggested retail price was about US$400,000. The F40 did without a catalytic converter until 1990, when US regulations required them. 213 F40s were made for the US market.

Hagerty suggests a concours example is trending around $1.8m. This example appeared at RM Sotheby's.
