Introduction to the Original: The Legendary Ferrari F40
The Ferrari F40 is an iconic supercar produced from 1987 to 1992. As a masterpiece from Ferrari, it was designed by both Enzo Ferrari and the renowned designer Pininfarina. Technically, the Ferrari F40 is the successor to the Ferrari 288 GTO. The car boasts a 2.9-liter V8 engine with twin turbochargers, delivering an impressive 478 horsepower. With a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.1 seconds and a top speed of 324 km/h (201 mph), the Ferrari F40 set benchmarks in the automotive world. Notable technical features include the carbon fiber chassis, aerodynamic enhancements, and lightweight construction resulting in a total weight of only 1,100 kg (2,425 pounds).
