The mid-engine rear-wheel drive Ferrari F40 was produced from 1987 to 1992, designed to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Ferrari (and was followed by the F50). The performance and style draw Chicago drivers to the F40, but for many collectors, this is a particularly special model not for what it is but for how it was made. The Ferrari F40 was the last Ferrari vehicle that was personally approved by Enzo Ferrari

Regarded as the first 200-mph production car, the F40’s 2.9L twin-turbo V8 generated 471 hp and 426 lb-ft of torque. These are impressive performance figures, even for today. While the official specs reported by Ferrari were already impressive on their own, many experts agreed that this was an underestimate, with claims that the Ferrari F40 easily broke 500 hp.
The F40 engine allowed it to hit 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.1 seconds, let it clear 400 meters in 11.9 seconds, and travel a kilometer in just 20.9 seconds.
