There were a few certainly Not saying the f40 ist awesome it certainly is But its awesome Part did Not come from their futuristic tech It was awesome because Ferrari finally build a roadcar with All Their racecar tech without any compromises to beat porsche The ahead of its time tech had its competition

The American version is almost 200kg heavier and has less hp than the European version of the F40!! The real power is ever more than the claimed by factory A curious fact is that the first units of the F40 produced in 1987 "they speak of the first 20 to 25" have the same power as the 288 GTO EVO and are even lighter!! In tests, they exceeded 370km/h but did not pass the traffic regulations of the time, so they were modified in the units produced later!! Some of the things you said that are enoing are only in the American version, including the belts on the seats, and those uglier seats, the electronic signals too!

A bit too normal and uneventful. Stepping into the vehicle wasn't as much of a spectacle, it was just a thing you could do without care or fear. It lacked that emotion you get from expensive to own, unreliable death traps you're too afraid to drive apart from some very, very special occasions. 959 was special on paper, and special from engineering standpoint, but it wasn't ultimately that special to own or drive. Technically it was better than F40 in every way, but technicalities don't inspire masses as much as pure, raw emotion does.

It always comes down to the F40 being my favorite car of all time. Nothing looks like it. Back in '92 I was lucky enough to see one of the 250 or so sent to North America. My friend and I would visit a Lexus/Infinity car dealership. They dealt in some exotics so you'd never know what you would see, sometimes. We were there late at night checking out a couple 993 turbos outside on the car lot. The first production year I believe. Then this red color catches my eye. It was an F40 encased in it's own showroom with lights beaming down on it. I thought I was seeing things. We went back the next day when the dealership was open and asked if we could look at it. We went back multiple times to visit that car, the staff got to know us really well. Once every few days the salesman would start it up and roll it around the car lot to keep it in check. I was able to witness that one day and listen to that engine sing. Once in a lifetime experience.

The F40 is undeniably beautiful, but I was always a 911 turbo fan. I’ve owned many non-turbo 911’s from the 60s to the 90s because I was always afraid of Ferrari and its reliability issues. I currently have a customer who has an 84 308 GTS with 18,000 original miles, end it always seems to need something, but it sure is beautiful to look at. Very nice to drive also. I had a 1980 911 SC, That was reliable as a swiss watch. Oil changes, brake pads and tires, that thing was fantastic and so much fun for the money. But if money was no object, I would definitely have some Ferraris in my arsenal.

The motorized seat belt was used on North American cars in the early 1990s. Regulations required cars to have a supplemental restraint system. Those that didn’t have a driver’s side airbag in the steering wheel had this type of motorized seat belt. My mother’s Saturn SL1 had them. They were fairly uncommon. When I used to go out on a date in the Saturn with someone new, she would invariably be freaked out by the belts (and the cheapness of the car), but would laugh when I told her to imagine that we were in a rocket ship.

@JaredDixon
@JaredDixon 10 ай бұрын
Yes, it's really a stop-gap safety regulation that only lasted a few years in North America. Basically, if your new car was manufactured after a certain date and it did not have an airbag, it was required to have a motorized seatbelt to "force" drivers to at least have an active seatbelt at all times. It was quite common across the board for US cars from the early to mid 90's Obviously, even expensive cars were impacted since the cost to re-engineer airbags into an existing design was often not worth it.
@vardiet
@vardiet 10 ай бұрын
I remember having seen this feature in the nineties in a VW Corrado in Germany. This was an unsold US car and VW was selling them back in their mainland. For me this system was worst than a regular seatbelt as a lazy driver can ignore the horizontal belt and keep only the automatic transversal one.

If I remember correctly, manufacturers could fit these *or* airbags for US regs, and the retro fit of the auto seatbelts was a lot easier (no new sensors or computers), so loads of cars got them.

The 959 was more important for the future of car design but it's gets disregarded because it doesn't look the best and isn't a Ferrari unfortunately.

My dad bought me small toy of F40(shell used to give Ferrari toys for full tank petrol I guess) when I was younger, from then my obsession with Ferrari's started and depression with f1. F40 is still my favourite car!

Thank you MAT for this travel back in time . The F40 was the first supercar i saw . I was 27 yo when FERRARI delivered the firsts monters . In France or in MONACO , i have always seens F40 with competition harness (belt) not classic seat belt and no passengers glass windows , only a small piece of plexiglass (plastic) .

The fact that Mat and his team can produce such a good quality review of a car that most likely sees for the first time in his life, all while it's so expensive and he still finds 5 annoying things about it, overwhelms me. And what genuine feeling of enthusiasm while driving it.

20 years ago I had the opportunity to get a passenger ride in one of these and wow. My lasting impression of that experience was it felt like a very fast go kart. Up to this point in my life the quickest car I’d driven was a Toyota supra turbo but this was on an other level. The picture of that day hangs in my garage to this day.

Yes, it is. It looks like a supercar the moment you see it from every angle. It's my childhood dream car. Still is, and I'd lose my mind if i see one in person, let alone touch it and sit in it to drive. I'd probably get teary eyes.

About 18 years ago my dad had an Italian client who invited us to Florence, he told us that he had a collection of Ferraris and told us that to surprise us we should wait for him on the bridge next to the "Ponte Vecchio" (Ponte Santa Trinita). He arrived with a beautiful F40, I remember that all the tourists began to gather around the Ferrari, my dad's client brought him to give my brother and I a ride around Florence in his F40. An experience that I will never forget. Beautiful car. Loved it!
