<p>The <strong>Ferrari F40</strong> is a two-door, rear-wheel-drive, mid-rear-engined, super sports coupé, designed with aerodynamic concepts used in racing cars. However, its sales focus was strictly commercial, not planned for racing. It was the successor to the <strong>288 GTO</strong> model and is considered the grandmother of the <strong>Ferrari Enzo</strong> model (a model that was named after the company&#8217;s founder), and the last car made with the personal supervision of <strong>Enzo Ferrari</strong>, who died in 1988. It was presented on July 21, 1987, manufactured to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the Italian brand Ferrari. At that time, it was the fastest car in the world to be mass-produced, reaching 324 km/h, an impressive mark for the time.</p>



<p>Its design was developed by the <strong>Pininfarina studio</strong>, and the idea was to give the car greater speed without losing stability. Its curves create less resistance to the air, and the front spoiler, as well as the rear wing, contribute to the <a href='https://uslawpulse.com/guides' target='_blank' rel='follow'>car</a> having a lot of grip on the ground. The rear wing also has the function of protecting the rear cover, made of Perspex (a transparent plastic material more resistant than the glass that was used in all the car&#8217;s windows) from the force of pressure.</p>



<p>Its effective production began in 1988, ending in 1991, with a total of 1,311 units produced.</p>
