TEST: We test Enzo's last car, the turbo monster Ferrari F40

Only 20,600 km on the odometer It obviously does a lot for the overall experience that the 20,600 km old car in the pictures here is like new, both visually and mechanically. It is completely stable on the road and reacts with a precision that makes it an extremely sensual experience. Romantics will point out that it was the essence of Enzo Ferrari's car philosophy: The intense dynamics in an efficient and beautiful bodywork at the expense of practicality and comfort. The truth is that the F40 is the last car Enzo himself had his hands on, and in true Ferrari spirit, it was originally developed for racing. Or rather, its predecessor was. The Ferrari 288 GTO was developed for the Group B race in 1984, where it had to take on the Porsche 959. It required 200 homologation cars, but when Ferrari was finally ready in 1986 with five evolutionary models developed for racing, the class was discontinued. Also available as LM racer Ferrari decided to make the best of the situation by creating a new body for the technique, and it became the F40, which got its name from Ferrari's 40th anniversary. And luckily, the center motor sports car was completely cheated on track asphalt. As early as 1989, an F40 LM rolled out of the pits in the GTO division of the American IMSA lob series. In 1994, the F40 makes its Le Mans debut, but unfortunately has to leave because the 24 hours are over. The F40 won Le Mans up to and including 1996, and the last bottling of the car produced 700 hp.
