    Huge shoutout to Nicola Materazzi, the man that almost single handedly designed this car (and a lot of other Ferrari, from the gto to the Testarossa). From the engine, to the gear box, to the air intakes, almost everything of this car was produced by his mind. A real genius throwed away by the Fiat management.

    • @christophercatto7184
      @christophercatto7184 Před 4 lety +15

      indeed. the GTO Evo had poor drag coefficient so Materazzi asked for a different shape to be drawn and wind tunnel tested for the F40. a lot of the intakes, vents, the 3rd middle pipe for the wastegate, the very light interior are his ideas. the car got criticised for a number of things which happened because after he left nobody implemented things like the option of different size seats or on-track training which Enzo had agreed would have been offered. Fiat simply pocketed the money and made many more than originally planned.

    If you're having trouble imagining just how quick 200mph is, in 1989 I was standing on a small parking lot next to Autobahn 7 (I think, we were driving to Austria and I was sharing driving duties with my dad) when one of these came by at full pelt. Before I'd said "Dad, look, a Ferrari!", it was all but out of view.

      I remember seeing a very old video filmed from the cockpit of a car - my memory is saying it was an F40 - going flat out, 200mph, on a regular highway/autobahn/motorway/whatever. Seeing how quickly it approached and passed regular traffic - traffic that would have been moving at 60-80mph probably - was downright scary. Literally no margin for error at that speed.

    The F40 -- What a dream Car !
    The year was 1992.
    I went to the Dealership on Common Avenue. in Boston.
    There was a "MAGNUM PI FERRARI" parked in front of the building. Impressed, I walked around the vehicle.
    However, in the Dealership there was a 1992 F40 -- it blew my brains out !
    Upon exiting the showroom, I saw the "Magnum Ferrari" again.
    Somehow, it looked -- insignificant ! The body, even the weels looked rather common .
    Analysing all the array of modern Supercars -- and the F40 still takes the cake !

    The profile of the F40 is such an exemplary image and it immediately comes to mind when I think of the word "supercar." Every angle and curve is 100% perfect. I also like the fact that it's all mechanical and no computer assistance. Must be a truly amazing driving experience.

    Spokane Wa 1994 my uncle Jason RIP picked me up from fifth grade in a yellow 308 gts Ferrari.
    Spokane is a smaller city for sure, probably 250k Population back then. Not known for any exotic cars, it was amazing he had one. And many others porsche, lotus, lamborghini. My uncle had them all, not at once, just trade in/upgrade. However I always got to ride in the exotics. I got more seat time then anyone, besides Jason himself. Acura NSX, Dodge Viper, hot rods, muscle cars. So I got bit at a early age and still have the sickness. The 308 was awesome and I'll never forget the smiles per gallon and thumbs up. RIP uncle Jason and thanks for the memories. I haven't seen a Ferrari in Spokane to this day. They recently built a Porsche dealership in liberty lake, that is about it. Now the population has doubled and someone could probably do well opening a car lot for these cars, a smaller lot of course. CDA idaho not far and the "Celebrities" are buying up vacation homes on lake CDA to the dismay of locals.

      Give me a break. He's always talked about liking the older models and the older spirit of the company. He's made it pretty clear he doesn't like what they've become and he doesn't feel the need to have to prove himself by buying all these 288's, F40's etc...just so he can get the new model.
      He'd rather buy from companies that were like what Ferrari was under enzo.

      But the F40 is definitely more, since has the ultimate mental experience crazy car for today streets, the whole thing pops instantly if is ever used among the other common cars, is looking very intimidating, with that sound it definitely turn heads, the racing-style body with big wing and those massive rear wide Pirelli Zero.. is really Epic.

    David Lee has some pretty impressive Ferraris in his Collection. Jay in another episode of JL'sG drove David's 275GTB 4 cam. Born in Hong Kong and son of Chinese Immigrants, he took his Father's Jewelry business to another Elite level and made him wealthy enough to be able to own 12+ million dollars worth of Ferraris. 26 yrs is an eternity in the Auto World when talking technology. Back in the 60's if your Car could reach 60mph in under 6 seconds, that was considered a muscle car. This F40 was something in the low 4 second range back in the 90's which now days is a turtle when compared to even the ZO6 Corvette which is in the high 2's with the 8 speed auto. I'm not a fan of Computerized Super Cars so the F40 is still really an old school Car. I'm sure now that Jay has driven his first F40 he will probably be looking for one to add to his massive Car Collection, Good Luck Jay...

    • @arisgod2749
      @arisgod2749 Před 7 lety

      I think Jay is warming up to the idea that his collection needs a Ferrari. An F40 would be a car that he could obtain. Expensive but not as rare as say a Ferrari 288 GTO which for me would be the ultimate Ferrari to own (other than the original GTO and Ferrari California from the 60s). David should make Jay drive the 288 GTO, I think Jay will love it.

I don't live in LA, I live in New Zealand at the bottom of the world, but I'm not complaining, it's a good life here, just not so many guys driving around in their F40s everyday, in fact we're a little short on most rare n collectable cars n bikes out n about around here but it's always a buzz when I see any.
