F40 in the Alps (video, 7:10)

EVO has been the best enthusiast motoring magazine for years. A bit of a stumble after Harry M left but seeming to be back on the game again. Great article in EVO 199 that goes with this video.

 

Very nice, thanks for posting!

 

Superb video!

Amazing video and car. Thanks for posting!

 

some good comments. mostly correct - uncomfortable, weird positioning, light-switch power modulation, loud, not a gt car.....etc etc. i drove it in one run from silverstone to geneva after i got it and could not walk the next day!

btw, for those of you dreaming of the notion to do a fast run through the swiss passes....let me warn you that this is precisely where i got nailed with the f40, and had to pay a MASSIVE fine and lost my license for 4 months. the swiss police do not like speed in any form. they are sympathetic to your desire, to the car, to the fact that nobody else is there but you and them, but they will fine the bejeezus out of you nevertheless. and at the excess i was clocked at (136 kph in an 80kph limited zone), that would be immediate jail time now.

if you do have access to an f40 in europe, and you do want to do some mountains, then go to italy. they might still fine you, but at least the food is better !

 

Haha I like that food comment and must agree.

Or you could just close off the road and have your own camera crew and say that you are filming a shoot for your next episode...

 

+1 by a very large margin, it makes Forza look like birdcage liner in comparison. It is expensive, but well worth it.
