USA FERRARI F40

There could possibly be more than one such car considering they are 20 years old, give or take.

 

Fantastic images of the previously posted fire-breathing LM by Vueltas.

God I love that car.

 

If that car doesn't get your blood flowing your dead. This is why men love Ferrari...

 

I hope it's true, and I think it's a lovely thought

 

Well I think the F40's shape is that which symbolizes contemporary Ferrari cars more than any other in modern times, so its impact is huge with many.

 

You have to check your F40 has performed this recall.

As of today, I am still coming across cars that have not had it done, even though it was announced in April 2005, 4 years plus ago.

OUCH!! US car? Whats the story on this??

 

Eu car.

I believe this was simply a matter of speed & old tires.

 

Going by the black airboxes, I'd say early Euro car. A blown tire can cause even more damage then that. Could have been even worse....

 

Then he/she is either a rookie or a fool. never get over your head, or underestimate the laws of physics

 

Very lucky it didn't split the fuel filler pipe and gush gasoline all over the engine....lights out after that.

 

It came very close.

It appears the (rather flimsy) plastic shroud within the wheel-well that serves as protection against such an event is gone.

 

Interesting article passed on to me from last month.

In July of last year, an official dealer here in the UK had a Euro spec F40 showing 13,306 miles available or £249,950. That very same car is now back on the same showroom floor with 15,000 miles for £284,950.
