Commemorating Ferrari’s 40th anniversary, the F40 was the last Ferrari personally approved by founder Enzo Ferrari. As the competition model, the F40LM was designed for racing while the Competizione was the model built at customer request. The F40 featured a front cowl with cooling air duct, large round 4-lamp headlights, large front spoiler, and variable rear wing, all combining to deliver improved cooling and aerodynamics for racing. Modified suspension, weight stripped from the interior and exterior, and safety standard 4-point harness with driver’s seat side bar, were true to its motorsports focus. While the basic 2.9-liter V8 twin-turbo is the same as the F40, larger turbochargers and intercoolers increasing supercharging pressure and combined with revised engine management to produce 700ps (official Ferrari data) and significantly faster performance. With less than 20 units produced including the LM racing model, this Ferrari became a valuable collector’s item.
