The Ferrari F40 is one of the most sought-after Ferraris by collectors worldwide. It combines speed, style, and history, making it the crowning achievement of any collection. The F40 was produced from 1987 to 1992, with only 1,315 vehicles manufactured. Named F40 to celebrate Ferrari’s 40th anniversary, this car was the last Ferrari designed while founder Enzo Ferrari was still alive. This represents the end of an era for Ferrari, and many collectors are eager to own a piece of history.
The F40 was the flagship supercar to follow the 288 GTO. The design was uncompromising. The Pininfarina composite and aluminum body kept it lightweight, with an updated and evolved version of the GTO chassis. The 2.9-liter twin-turbo V-8 produced 478 horsepower. This kind of power in such a lightweight car allowed the F40 to go from 0 to 60 mph in 4 seconds, with a top speed of over 200 mph.

From Switzerland to Japan
Even though the vehicle has only 9,900 km, it has a long history. This Ferrari was originally delivered to Switzerland, where it was never registered for road use. It was used for special events. At the 1996 Ticino Ferrari Club meeting, it was driven by Le Mans-winning F1 driver Jacky Ickx and Arturo Merzario.
The car was then imported to Japan and spent a few years in a collection with several other F40s in an impressive collection in Osaka. During this time, the car was not registered for road use. The F40 has since changed hands to another collector in Japan.
The vehicle includes warranty books, service records, a complete tool kit, three original keys, and the keys to the fuel filler door and door lock. Recent work on the vehicle includes new ATL fuel cells installed in 2016 with new lines. New tires were installed at the time, along with new suspension arm bushings, spark plugs, and fuel injectors. In June 2020, the last service was performed, including a brake flush and a new battery.
This vehicle runs perfectly and is absolutely stunning in its original paint. Montreal collectors, you are unlikely to have another opportunity like this. This magnificent 1992 Ferrari F40 can be part of your collection for $2,099,000 Canadian, plus taxes and fees.
