The Ferrari F40, a masterpiece of Italian engineering, was in production from 1987 to 1992. It was the last Ferrari developed under the direct supervision of Enzo Ferrari himself, who aimed for an unmatched combination of performance and design. The Ferrari F40, derived from an FIA Group B racing chassis, originally set out to be the most powerful and fastest road car of its time. The twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V8 engine produced up to 478 horsepower and allowed the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in around 4.1 seconds. The lighter chassis made of carbon fiber and Kevlar significantly contributed to its superior driving dynamics. Designers like Leonardo Fioravanti and engineers like Nicola Materazzi played crucial roles in its development.

These temporal markers illustrate the period in which the vehicle emerged and provide additional context for its historical significance. Additionally, in 1987, the first delivery of the Airbus A320 took place, representing a significant advancement in the aviation industry.
