Ah, the F40: the greatest Ferrari ever produced and one of the finest supercars conceived. To this day, it remains an automotive icon and the following clip gives us a hint of why it is regarded so highly.
This particular yellow F40 is special not just due to its color, as all examples rolled out of the factory solely in red, but also because the owner has fiddled with it to make it the ultimate track toy. Modifications include the installation of a brand new rear wing, a custom carbon fiber diffuser and a very special sounding exhaust system.
Even in stock form, the F40’s twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V8 engine is one of the finest sounding turbocharged engines ever created for a road car and with an aftermarket exhaust, it sounds not only better than Beethoven’s finest but puts the twin-turbo 488 GTB to shame.
While the F40 is certainly one of the most expensive track toys we can think of, it also has the formula of the ideal racecar down to a tee. Despite the first examples being almost 30 years old, its engine still spits out 471 hp, making the 1,369 kg car faster than its rivals at the time and, by all accounts, a feral experience.
