F40 LM GTE

Andrew,

oui cette 88779 était au vigeant en 95, mis j'ai eu un probléme sur un triangle arriére, 180 degrés dans un virage avec mon gamin à bord, grosse frayeur car juste avant j'était à 240 dans la ligne droite!

non cette voiture n'est pas celle de marc stanciu (Rbox à versailles) qui est en fait une stradale avec des éléments de carrosserie style LM, quelques modifs (frein, barres de torsion, prépa moteur légére,...). marc est en train de la mettre à neuf pour le Vigeant en Juin. A voir. Si tu as des infos sur sa vente, je suis interressé, c'est Michel Mitharian qui lui a vendu avant de m'en parler alors qu'il m'avait déjà vendu ma F40 Stradale et la F40 LM GTE. C'est la vie!!

Salutations,

Dominique

 

Whoa, nice pics, awesome find, one of my favorite supercars!

 

http://www.myvideo.de/watch/394912

and more from 91979 http://www.myvideo.de/online/page.php?P=117&volltext=f40+gte&Submit=Suche

Will be auctioned by Coys in Monaco this month.

 

Nice vids!


So this car is a F40 that Michelotto (which would make it a real one?) coverted for the owner to LM GTE specs? Or did someone else do the conversion? Either way is this car a real LM GTE? I'm a little confused lol.

 

As far as I know (discussing this issue with somebody from Autonauser), the conversion was done by some specialist from Audi Ingolstat (!).
The body looks like a full GTE, the engine is not a real Michelotto one, good job, but not real michelotto conversion it seems.
This car was already presented in an auction, so we will see if Coys will succeed this time in Monaco.
Real price should be around 350 k€ to 400 K€ max, starting from an F40 stradale with the right engine and body conversion.
The only advantage of this car is the TÜV approval, imagine this car on the highway!

 

i think, your F40 has been sold to South Africa.

 

That would be insane on the Autobahn!

 

No this is a conversion (with maybe some Michelotto parts).
Only 74045, 82404, 84503, 85015, 88779, 90001 and 94362 are real Michelotto F40 GTEs

Little "engine sound" movie of 74045 http://www.myvideo.de/watch/374956

 

Thanks!

And great vid!

 

Wow..J'imagine la frayeur , surtout au vigeant !

Je savais pas que la F40 au Vigeant en 2005 etait une Stradale .
Tu es membres du club Ferrari ?

Que penses tu de la GTE a vendre chez Sheehan ? C'est une boite meca par contre ( je n 'ai jamais vu de GTE a vendre avec les boites sequentielles ?? ).

A bientot !

Andrew

 

Looks like the LM is gone from Sheehan ...

 

I wonder what they got for that thing!

 

Andrew,

just few words to confirm that my 88779 was a real GTE, not a stradale.
At Le Vigeant 2005, I was driving such car.
I was speaking about a stradale concerning the car that Marc Stanciu bought from Michel Mitharian few months ago. Marc is now refreshing it for Le Vigeant 2007. Still a stradale with some body and mecanic parts of an LM, few engine upgrades.
Finally, if Sheehan is no more promoting the LM on his web site, have a look on Maranello motorsport web site: still there! call them if you are interrested, price to be discussed depending on the final place of delivery, plane or boat transport,....There is also several other ways to find an LM or a GTE, the Pilot 74045 was sold few weeks ago it seems, for 750 000 USD.
Nota: I am a Ferrari France Owners Club member since few years.

 

Dominique,

La F40 type LM dont tu parles , serait ce celle qui a ete proposee aux encheres il y a qques mois , immatriculee 75 ?
J'ai donc vu ta GTE en 2005..Elle etait garee dans le paddock a cote de la Maranello GT ? J'ai pas mes photos ici ( Elles sont a Paris..).

Ta GTE est tjrs en France ? Tu as fais bcp de sorties avec ?
J'imagine que ca doit etre bien plus violent qu'une F4o Stradale ?

A bientot !

Andrew

 

Damn, are you sure?

 

andrew,

exact, la F40 immatriculée ....PME 75 était bien une stradale, look LM, vendue à Marc derniérement.

Ma F40 LM GTE a été vendue en afrique du sud à un gars charmant, un italien, fana Ferrari, qui est en train de remettre la livrée Le Mans 96 sur la voiture, nous la verrons sûrement dans les mois qui viennent lors d'événement, il est inscrit maintenant au club Ferrari France.

Ryan, I got such info on Pilot 74045 from a well known Ferrari dealer and specialist (ex UK based, living in Australia now), as I was asking his advice to get an LM or GTE. To be confirmed.

 

andrew,

je les ai retrouvé, sur le site de MMC aussi.
C'est une bonne base. Un passage chez Noël racing lui ferait du bien!

Maybe back to The Netherlands?

 

I thought that was a real GT? I had no idea it was a conversion....thanks for clearing that up.

 

Wow, looks wonderful! What serial # is that? I see a license plate in one of the pics so I have to ask, was it driven on the street?

 

It was one of the two very early converted F40s for racing. With some Michelotto parts. Cars were tuned by Cavallino Tuning, a guy (Peter van Erp) that I believe know works for Spyker Cars.
Both cars (80771 and 80778) we very active raced in the Dutch Ferrari Porshce Challenge early 90's.

 

I found some pictures in my personal photobook.

These pictures were taken at Spa Ferrari Days 1997

Sorry for the quality, at that time I wasn't a good photographer.

Can someone tell my what the chass. numbers of these F40 were. I think that not alll of them were a F40 LM or F40 GTE.

With kind regards
Xander

I read a lot of speculation in this forum about this car, I will bring light in the
speculation: www.ara-flug.de/bilder/ferrari/

Car builder is Ferrari with the cassis nr. 91979. Not Michelotto !
In the Europe and German street documents is still Ferrari the builder!
Only this way make the car realy legal on the street. But Ferrari gave only 750hp free for the street. So this car has 2 main units to switch for race, with more than 900 hp with a water sprinkling air cooler.
The first owner is a German Dr. in car building, still working for several car manufacturer. Ex working for Audi Motorsport at the time "Quattro S1". He bought ALL the Michelotto Parts from Michelotto and an expert team of race mechanic and engineers also BOSCH Motorsport and the extreme tuner from Lichtenstein, Lehmann, rebuild this car. Last modifikation 2006 was an new exhaust with new formula 1 materials from the same German company who built for two Formula 1 teams the exhausts. The new exhaust is able to run over catalisator and with a dipp - bypass direct open...

The chief from TÜV Augsburg by himself made all the modifikations legal in the documents.

This car with a privat driver was second in Ferrari Challange Europe, which year, I dont know, maybe some people in the forum remember, and hold the round record in Monza befor rebuilt the race track.

I drove the car from Monaco to Ingolstadt full throttl- unbelivable power and the engine got only 78 degrees water and 84 degrees oil temperature...
The most powerfull car I have ever seen..
The car is looking for a new owner, because the old ownwer is going to Bahamas and can't use it anymore.
