The Ferrari F40, launched in 1987 to celebrate Ferrari’s 40th anniversary, is one of the most legendary supercars ever built. It was the last Ferrari personally approved by Enzo Ferrari, which adds to its mythic status. Under the hood sits a 2.9L twin-turbocharged V8 producing 478 hp, enough to push it past 320 km/h (200 mph)—making it the world’s fastest production car at the time.
Built with carbon fiber, Kevlar, and aluminum, the F40 was brutally raw: no ABS, no traction control, no luxury comforts—just pure performance. Its aggressive wedge-shaped body, massive rear wing, and red paint became symbols of 80s supercar culture. Even today, the F40 is revered not just for its speed, but for delivering one of the most visceral, unfiltered driving experiences ever.
