Introduced in 1988 to celebrate Enzo Ferrari's forty years as a carmaker, the 200mph F40 was the ultimate supercar. A four-cam, 32-valve, 3-litre V8, the F40 engine employed twin IHI turbochargers to liberate 478bhp at 7,000rpm. Of equal, if not greater, technical interest was the method of body/chassis construction, the F40 drawing on Ferrari's F1 experience in its use of composite technology. A one-piece plastic moulding, the body was bonded to the tubular steel chassis to create a lightweight structure of immense rigidity. The doors, bonnet, bootlid and other removable panels were carbon fibre. Pugnaciously styled by Pininfarina, the F40 incorporated the latest aerodynamic aids in the form of a dam-shaped nose and high rear aerofoil. The interior re-enforced the F40's image as a thinly disguised race-car, with body-contoured seats, sliding Plexiglass windows and an absence of carpeting and trim. Supplied new in Italy via Parauto, of Genoa and first registered on 7th February 1990, this well-preserved F40 has covered just 47,750 kilometres from new. The car is finished in Rosso Corsa with matching original interior, the latter being equipped with Momo steering wheel, OMP harnesses and fire extinguisher. A stainless-steel sports exhaust is fitted, and the car further benefits from an engine/gearbox service undertaken 1,500 kilometres ago. This well cared for F40 is offered complete with all original documentation. Vorgestellt im Jahre 1988, zum 40-jährigen Jubiläum von Ferrari als Automobil-Manufaktur, war der 200 mph / 320 kmh F40 unbestritten der Super-Strassenwagen. Die 32-Ventil, V-8, Bi-Turbo-Maschine leistete 478 PS bei 7000 UpM. Als Neufahrzeug in Genua ausgeliefert, erstmals am 7. 2. 1990 zugelassen, hat der Ferrari lediglich 47,750 km zurückgelegt. Lackiert in Rosso Corsa, mit passend abgestimmtem Original-Interieur, sowie Momo-Lenkrad, OMP-Gurten und Feuerlöscher, verfügt der Wagen darüberhinaus über eine Edelstahl-Auspuffanlage. Vor 1,500 km wurde ein Motor- und Getriebe-Service durchgeführt. Der sehr gepflegte F40 wird mit allen dazugehörigen Dokumenten versteigert.
