Ferrari F40

Description[]

The Ferrari F40 is a two-door high-performance sports car produced by Ferrari from 1987 to 1992. Designed by Pietro Camardella under Aldo Brovarone, the F40 was intended as the successor to the 288 GTO and was named as such to celebrate Ferrari's 40th anniversary. Notable as the last car personally approved by Ferrari founder Enzo Ferrari. It is powered by a 2.9L F120A twin-turbocharged V8 producing 471 horsepower (US-spec models have a bit more horsepower due to their added weight) mated to a 5-speed manual. At the time of its introduction, the F40 was Ferrari's fastest, most powerful and most expensive car for sale; with an initial planned production total of 400 units. Ultimately, 1,311 cars (some sources claim 1,315) were produced, each retailing for $400,000; the cars now retail for over $1 million. Today, the F40 is one of Ferrari's most collectible models and is part of a group enthusiasts name the "Big 5", including itself, the 288 GTO, F50, Enzo Ferrari and LaFerrari.

The Hot Wheels Ferrari F40 is known for its opening rear section to view the engine compartment similar to the real F40. In 2014, mid-way through its production for the Ferrari 5-Pack release, the Ferrari F40 was re-tooled to remove this opening feature. Other changes to the casting include closed headlights, a slightly wider body, shallower side air ducts, completely new window and interior sculpts and a plastic base. It is possible to find two versions of the 2014 Ferrari 5-Pack, with either the original F40 casting or the new replacement. This would be the final release of the Ferrari F40; no Ferraris would be released by Hot Wheels past 2014 with the expiration of the license, with all tools likely destroyed.
