Unveiled in June 1987 to mark 40 years of Ferrari car production, the F40 became an instant legend. Radical, uncompromising and unmistakably dramatic, it combined lightweight composite construction with a 478bhp twin-turbo V8 engine and a stripped-back, purposeful interior. It was the last Ferrari launched during Enzo Ferrari’s lifetime and remains one of the most revered performance cars ever built.
Written by Ferrari marque expert Keith Bluemel, this large-format volume explores every aspect of the F40 in depth, from its design, development and production to its competition career and the experience of owning and running one today.
