The Ferrari F40 is an exotic supercar produced to celebrate the marque's 40th anniversary. Revealed at the 1987 Frankfurt Motor Show, the F40 was developed quickly using elements of its predecessor, the "288" GTO.

The F40 used a 2936 cc version of that car's V8 engine, with bore and stroke changed from 80 x 71 mm to 82x69.5 mm. The twin IHI turbochargers were retained, for 478 bhp (356 kW) with 16 lbf/in² (110 kPa) of boost. The car accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in about 3.9 seconds and had a top speed of 201 mph (323 km/h), which made it the fastest serial-produced sports car of 1987.

The suspension remained a double wishbone setup, though the unusually small ground clearance meant that later F40s included selectable ride height.

The body was an entirely new design by Pininfarina. Panels were made of Kevlar, carbon fibre, and aluminium for strength and low weight, and intense aerodynamic testing was employed. A large rear wing and numerous deep scoops also characterized the design.

Weight was kept at a minimum with a plastic windshield and windows. Even roll-down windows were deleted at first, though later cars had them. No door handles were included - instead a short cord could be reached to unlatch the door.

Although production was initially limited to 400, strong demand kept the F40 in production until 1,315 cars were built.

In 2004, Sports Car International named this car number five on the list of Top Sports Cars of the 1980s.
