"For the 40th anniversary of the founding of his company, Enzo Ferrari instructed his scuderia to build the ultimate Ferrari. The result was the F40, a car in which the descriptor "fast" is hardly sufficient. Capable of 0-60 in under four seconds, and 100 mph in just over eight, the F40 is a standout, even by Ferrari's already astronomical standards."—Official description (Forza Horizon)[1]
The 1987 Ferrari F40 is a rear-wheel drive supercar by Ferrari.
It appears in all Forza main series titles.
Synopsis[]
The F40 was designed to celebrate Ferrari's 40th anniversary, and replaced the Ferrari 288 GTO.
It served a double purpose as being Ferrari's answer to the Porsche 959 showing a radically different, more bare-bones approach to the modern supercar, and as the first production car to break the 201 mph (323 km/h) barrier.
It was replaced by the Ferrari F50 in 1995.
Drivetrain[]
Codenamed F120A, its engine is an enlarged, 2.9L (2,936 cc) variation of the 288 GTO's twin-turbocharged V8 engine, with the power at 478 hp (356 kW) and torque at 424 ft·lb (575 N·m).
Platform[]
Its design was an entirely new creation by Pininfarina through the use of kevlar, carbon fiber, and aluminum, as well as plastic windows and windshield for a lightweight construction.
