Limited Edition Ferraris | The Stable

The old man Enzo was rightfully proud of his achievement, and Ferrari went a long way from a small, obscure company in poor, post-war Italy to the biggest name in motorsport and ultimate sports car manufacturer. So, he instructed his engineers to use their best technology to create an extraordinary car—a road-going supercar with a race car feel and performance.  The F40 was ready just on time for celebrations, and Pininfarina outdid himself with the design. This is a very aggressive but also elegant design. The F40 screams speed and performance, but at the same time, it is not vulgar and frightening. In two words, it is addictively gorgeous. 

Beneath the carbon-kevlar body, the technical layout was pretty much the same as in 288 GTO, mainly since the Ferrari didn’t have the time to develop anything new and because this concept was excellent. The 2.9-liter, twin-turbo V8 was further improved and delivered 478 hp, which positively affected performance. The 0 to 60 mph was achievable in around 4.7 seconds, and top speed was three mph shy of the magical 200 mph limit. The interior was deliberately stripped of any unnecessary luxuries and very Spartan because Ferrari wanted to make the car light, concentrate on driving, and never plan to sell many them. 

However, stellar performance, incredible looks, and limited-edition allure promoted the F40 in one of the most sought-after cars of the period, and in the end, Ferrari sold 1315 cars! This is incredible since the asking price was over $400,000 in 1987 money and you could sell your place on the ordering list for over $1 million.

1995 to 1997

Although the F40 was an enormous success for Ferrari, the company wasn’t so happy in the end. Yes, they sold five times more cars than they expected, and the car community went crazy over it, but at the same time, lots of people made a lot of money selling their places on the list and reselling the cars. The management was scared that the F40 would become too common and that the market would dry up. Ferrari was always known as a company that doesn’t like to share its profits with anyone, and in 1995, when F50 was released, things changed.
