Enzo Ferrari produced his first cars in 1947. In 1987 the F40 supercar was unveiled, so named in celebration of his 40 years as a car maker. This was no luxurious, refined model but a purposeful, no-frills coupe complete with a large rear wing and a top speed of 201mph(323km/h) making it, for a time, the world's fastest production car. It therefore decisively eclipsed the Porsche 959's speed of 197mph (317km/h).
Based on the floorpan of the 288 GTO of 1984, the F40 was powered by a related twin turbocharged V8 engine of a mere 3 liters capacity, although it developed a stupendous 478bhp. It was rear-mounted in a longitudinal position.
Weight-saving was an overriding consideration, and although a tubular space-frame chassis, which provided the outline of the cabin and trail sections, was retained, extensive use was made of Kevlar and carbon fiber. Both materials came courtesy of Ferrari's Formula 1 activities.

Its a Very, Very fast car!!!
