  Ferrari F40 : Introduction
The F40 was the last car introduced and commissioned by Enzo Ferrari himself.
The car was a celebration of the marque and the man seeking to safely provide owners with a race car for the street, embodying all the finest elements of 1987 automotive engineering.
The F40 was to a large extent an evolution of the GTO in both form and concept.

  Ferrari F40 - WOI Encyclopedia Italia
The Ferrari F40 is an exotic supercar produced to celebrate the marque's 40th anniversary.
Revealed at the 1987 Frankfurt Motor Show, the F40 was developed quickly using elements of its predecessor, the "288" GTO.
The F40 used a 2936 cc version of that car's V8 engine, with bore and stroke changed from 80 x 71 mm to 82 x 69.5 mm.

 Ferrari F40
And indeed, the F40 is nothing so much as a roadgoing version of the GTO Evoluzione, a twin-turbocharged version of the latterday mid-engine GTO that would have been Ferrari's Group B contender had the FIA not cancelled the category after two tragedy-plagued seasons (1985-86).
The F40 is also nothing so much as a response to Porsche's erstwhile Group B machine, the 959.
In all the F40 is a worthy heir to the Ferrari legend it celebrates; at the very least, it's another instantly collectable Ferrari.

 WebCars! Ferrari F50
When Ferrari first started to build cars, they were intended to be streetwise and racetrack competitive.
As time passed, Ferrari built cars either for the race track or the road, as it was impractical to make dual purpose automobiles.
That fact is often considered appropriate, since the F40 represented a return to the idea of a road car that would be competitive on the race track.

 Ferrari F40 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ferrari F40 is a supercar that was produced by Ferrari from 1987 to 1992 as the successor to the 288 GTO, with which it shared some parts.
At ninety years old, Enzo Ferrari was keenly aware that his life was coming to an end, and was somewhat disappointed that Ferrari's dominance in international motorsport had faded somewhat over the years.
The F40 was discontinued in 1992 and in 1995 was succeeded by the F50.

 1991 Ferrari F40 Car Wallpaper & Specifications
The F40 was made doubly rigid through the use of composites for the large door sills, floor panels, and also the roof, giving it something approaching a monococque within a tube steel framework.
The F40 was designed to provide customers with a street legal car that could be taken to the track and raced at a high level of competition.
Although the F40 lacked interior storage space, a surprisingly generous compartment reminiscent of a giant hat box was to be found in the front tub, behind the radiator.

 F40 Project
Michelotto and Pozzi Ferrari France (the French Ferrari importer) developed racing versions of the F40 known as the F40LM, and the F40 GTE, that were campaigned with some success in the US IMSA race series.

The mighty Michelotto F40 LMs campaigned by Pozzi and other Ferrari racing customers were equipped with larger turbos (running up to 38 psig of boost), a large radiator air outlet in the center of the front lid for improved cooling, a front spoiler, and adjustable rear wing and larger diameter wheels.

 Ferrari F40
As the successor to Ferrari's gorgeous 288, Pininfarina were always going to have a difficult job replacing such an inspired piece of automotive design.
Whilst the GTO had pioneered the use of composite panels, the F40 was the first whose bodywork was constructed entirely from such materials.
The F40 was a landmark not just on account of its crushing performance and stunning looks, but it was fittingly the last ever car presented by Enzo Ferrari, this taking place at Maranello in June 1987, 14 months before the great mans death.

 PH: RE: Ferrari F40 celebrates its birthday
Ferrari has built a lot of gorgeous cars (especially in the sixties), but this is one of my all-time favourites.
That's the greatness of the F40 which transcends even the Marque...you don't have to like Ferraris to love the F40.Its looks and design are both timeless and not specific to a particular Marque.In the last twenty five years only the F40, XJ220, and of course the Mclaren F1 have left this legacy.
Good old Tiff did a Ferrari special on fifth gear a while back and drove a 360 and an F40 and it seemed while the F40 is a truly great car and has massive performance it's still a rough and ready road legal track car, while the 360 is a better road car.

 1995 Ferrari F40 Comments - Carsurvey.org
Ferrari is, to say the least, a force to be reckoned with.
Racing models of the F40 built after 92 especially built for the BPR championship like the Pilot Aldix F40/LM and the Ennea-Igol GTE's had an F-120B (V8 Twin Turbo) racing engine whose size was increased to 3.5L to increase power throughout the range and to keep up with the Mclaren F1's.
Ferrari clamed 750 hp for the very first f40 lm spec (Le Mans) and they lost 50 kg in weight so the race f40's would have very impressive performance.

Ferrari intended to produce less than 950 examples, but to match the 3100 potential orders, just over 1300 were eventually built.
The spartan F40 was basically a road legal racer, so it came as no surprise that Ferrari customers were interested in racing the F40 in GT-races.
Dubbed F40 LM and F40 GTE, these racers were fitted with a 700 bhp version of the V8.

Of all the superexotics that have appeared as a subspecies of the genus Supercar in the past twenty years, two still have near-mythical status: the McLaren F1 and the Ferrari F40.
Built to celebrate Ferrari's fortieth anniversary, the F40 looked glorious: it was as exotic, as wild, and as beautiful as a Ferrari should be.
The F40 wasn't built as a racing car, yet it feels like a roadgoing competition car, from its stripped-out interior to its delicious steering and its bad-boy attitude at the limit.
