The F40 was not only the last road-going Ferrari born while il Commendatore was still alive, but was so named to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the marque. Designed as the next flagship supercar after the 288 GTO, the F40 utilized an evolutionary version of the GTO?s chassis and double-wishbone suspension, as well as using the same 96-inch wheelbase. What was presented to the public in 1987 was an absolute no-compromise car that utilized a Pininfarina designed lightweight composite and aluminum body with IMSA-inspired widened fenders and an austere interior all in the name of saving weight. The engine was a 2.9-liter twin turbo V-8 (again, descended from that used in the 288 GTO) that made 478 hp and propelled the car from 0-60 in 4 seconds en route to a top speed of just over 200 mph.
