    Joe,

    Thanks for scanning those but im not sure we will be able to read them. Maybe you could add the original Jpegs in a Zip (i think Fchat allows you to upload zip as well..).

    Thanks !

    Andrew

    Andrew: actually I took them straight off Flickr, so I am yet to scan my own copies. I'm hoping they will be a reminder of specific articles & dates published by major magazines on the F40 (an amazing database by the way). This way owners who want them can simply buy them off EBay and add to their collections of useful material on the cars.

    Great F40 selection from the past there Joe! I see 'Yellow 4' featured on the October 1987 Autocar issue.

    I have so much scanning to do, I don't know where to start!

    But as you know, magazine articles done in the production period can be a wealth of information about production, model characteristics & performance.

    I know. I have some articles, but they are principally Italian or German. I have French articles and English too, but I have only a pair fo your yet.

    I think the most interesting in the scanned for data was FAST LANE. It was the 1st FL test, when my articles was the second and faster.

    But you will say me if there are some interesting data in the other. :)

    (If data are factory data or not very fast data, they are not very interesting. Because here in the forum I have seen we are talking ONLY about the very perfect condition and the very fast times like the other aren't really truth or random. :( )

    In 1992 one of the US car magazines did an interesting article featuring the Diablo and and F40, I believe the article was based on both cars travelling a long distance together and discussing the strenghts and weakness of each car.

    Please advise if you are speaking of the prototype or the USA car?

    I'm afraid if I go into the archives I will be lost for days!

    Yes I remember it. The cars were based at Shelton Ferrari and were driven around on the street extensively in the Ft Lauderdale area. Then they were tested oat Sebring. What I remember most is what a whipping the USA F40 gave that Diablo around Sebring.

    about the US car tested...
    if the car was new at the moment, the 26.3 sec should be really improved about that F40 version

    yeah the prototype...
    http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2007/05/03/days-of-ferrari-day-xvi/
    74049’s true singularity lies in its powerplant. The standard F40 engine is a Tipo F120A, while the higher output F40 LM used a Tipo F120B. Interestingly, the engine plate on 74049 states that it has a Tipo F120AB, which may be a cross between the two. Although most major components are the same as a standard F40, 74049 is believed to produce about 100hp more than the 478hp that a European model F40 produced (tested at 7,500 rpm without air passing through the intercoolers). This makes it only about 160 horsepower shy of an LM. The IHI turbos are different from stock, but not the same as the ones on an LM. The ECU is an enhanced one-off unit. Intercoolers are standard, but do not wear the BEHR lettering of the street units. As with European models, there is no catalytic converter and many of the brackets for the exhaust system are hand-fabricated. The air cleaners are also subtly different for no apparent reason. The fuel cell housing is made from carbon fiber.

    BTW factory experience cars were a various type of experimental cars, but there are some stock cars with in the experience cars.
