    Picture of the green F40 is fake. Look at the blinkers and at the side window. Picture of blue car is real, as I took that picture myself :)

    And the F40 with the "boxer trim" is real too. I've seen it several times in Monaco. Quite strange looking car ...

    IMO the boxer trim does not suite the F40.

    RA 565656 is s/n 91078. It is now back to all red and has been converted into an F40 LM look-a-like with air intake on roof, customised front and rear spoilers, etc.

    I think it looks great :D All you can hear these days is how practical this and that car is, few care about the drivebilty nowadays. I think this picture prooves that you can get practicality and drivebility at the same time ;)

    By the way, that F40 with the bike rack is arguably the fastest street-legal F40 in the country. And not just in a straight line.

    Sorry to resurrect such an old thread, but I found it while searching and saw no one had mentioned the problem I noticed.

    One of the photos that was posted as a RHD F40 is not correct - it's clearly an image that has been flipped by someone. The 'prancing horse' on the Ferrari crest on the fender is backwards and if you look at the pedal arrangement the gas pedal (black) is closest to the center tunnel which is opposite of how you would find it in a RHD car.

    Here's the original so you don't have to scroll up, and I have flipped it back to be correct in Photoshop.

    Edit: One more conclusive point to make. While F40s have a gas door on both sides, the Challenge Stradale only has it on one side - the left side - again proving that the photo had been flipped.

    The date/time stamp on the picture was also flipped :)
