    I am not sure why, maybe it is his delivery. This probably one of the best descriptions of the history of F40. Damn I love that car.

    base f40 was quoted at about 473. actual numbers measured at stock varied from 480 to 520.
    usa version was quoted at about 520 i think, and in actuality was higher again.
    subsequently, many have swapped out the turbos for better units, as i have, and i am putting out somewhere between 550 and 600 - but not easily measured on normal dynos because of the turbos etc.
    i dont know what the LM's were rated at, altho i suspect some members on here do.

    He said 278 HP.

    A little frenetic and he said 278 when I'm sure he meant 478 hp, but still 10,000% more informative and less annoying than Doug DeZero's unwatchable videos. Thanks for sharing!
