The Ferrari F40: Enzo's Final Masterpiece

The Ferrari F40: Enzo's Final Masterpiece
The Ferrari F40 is revered by automotive enthusiasts for its analog feel, elegant design, and unique appearance. Unlike its classic counterparts, its significance lies not in its speed compared to modern machines, but in its enduring driving experience, powerful performance, rich legacy, and distinctive narrative. This controversial vehicle stands apart in the company's lineup, lacking a proper predecessor or successor. Positioned between a purpose-built race machine and a road-going vehicle, the F40 set new standards upon its debut, captivating millions with its fire-spitting, two-seater design that offered minimal comfort and no compromises. Despite its unlikely commercial success, the F40 surprised both its company and investors, solidifying its status as one of the greatest supercars ever made.

i thought i was watching some real big channel, surprising production quality, great stuff

[@goldeneragarage]

Thank you for the comment, this is only the beginning!

[@Jay-jb2vr]

Reminds me of The Squidd

[@abdelrahmanobaid8578]

​@@goldeneragarageHello sir, I've watched all of your videos and i really admire your work so i was wondering if i could get your email for a business collaboration. Thanks alot 🙏

[@AG1LA]

F40 was my og poster child aside from the Countach and the other rari car, the Testarossa. Great content, thank you.

[@javidamod]

Other than the 250 GTO/B I personally think this is what caused most of us to have the love affair with this brand. Had been blessed with a lap joyride on track once and never forgot the sensation when the boost peaked just as the exhaust note cracked past the pranching (by then vibrating) horse in the tachometer! 🤯 Definitely F40LM on the dream garage list!!!!

[@Pietervdv]

If memory serves me right, there was supposed to be a Group B endurance track racing class, but sadly never made it. Ferrari never intended to compete in rallying. In the 80s, I do remember a few 308's competing in the European Rally Championship (as shown in the video), but these weren't works entries.

[@frankmorgan2772]

Great video about the F40, one of the best ever seen !!! Congrats

[@goldeneragarage]

We appreciate that, thank you!

[@MarcSob22]

A curiosity, the first units manufactured of the F40, "between 20 and 25 units" have the same mechanical configuration as the 288 GTO EVO, more than 650hp and less than 1100kg, making these units go at more than 370km/h and doing 0-100km /h in less than 3s, and even the other units in their European versions have more power than declared by the factory!

Best car ever

[@HideyHoRangerJoe]

Please keep these videos up. They are fantastic!

[@goldeneragarage]

We absolutely will! I'm glad you like the channel, Thank you

[@tahag2107]

Great quality content. Keep up please

[@goldeneragarage]

There's more where this came from! Appreciate the support

[@jasoncase9481]

A Ferrari F40 was driven by the main protagonist in a great action movie Army of 1 aka Joshua Tree.

[@dasgellendehorn1393]

Ferrari is the epidome of quality, speed and design.

[@mrgiustizia]

best supercar ever made with testarossa and 288 gt0

[@albegt98]

Fantastica 👍💪

[@goldeneragarage]

Glad you liked it!

[@danagirl161]

[@goldeneragarage]

Thank you for your support!

THE Ferrari

[@goldeneragarage]

Thanks for watching! The Ferrari F40 is truly a masterpiece.

[@juriebezuidenhout2538]

Epic vid. And correct facts .....

[@wiskunst]

But a lot of wrong images to accompany the voiceover. We get a lot of images of the 512bbi flat 12 engine that has nothing to do with the f40

[@goldeneragarage]

Thank you so much for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found the facts to be correct. Stay tuned for more exciting content!

[@invisiFRU]

Great video,but Group B was banned in 1986 not 1985.

[@SNKCreativity]

Я сейчас такую собираю в масштабе 1:8

[@wiskunst]

We get a lot of images of the 512bbi flat 12 engine and car that has nothing to do with the f40

[@emanemanrus5835]

Video shows portfolio and catalog of Ferrari before the 288 GTO and F40 Era. It makes sense. Did you listen to the speech behind?

[@rossrreyes]

Funny how in 2024 the Porsche 959 looks bulbous & soft, whilst The F40 still looks aggressive & absolutely fantastic

[@Silverfox1982]

The thumbnail sure makes the F40 look better than it did in real life. Its about the only ferrari that looks like a knock-off kit car and no NA V12

[@jasoncase9481]

A video could be made about LaFerrari being made as the best hypercar by Ferrari.

[@mmtot]

Enzo F40 thumbnail.

[@modelcitizen1977]

The F40 behaved like a go kart with unlimited top end.

[@evanduty6150]

It's always interesting to hear other pronunciations. I say nine five nine; you say nine fifty nine.

[@markyamaguchi9571]

Yes a masterpiece. Thanks to PININFARINA for their styling and styling the other Ferrari models. Ferrari only build the engines.

[@sbkpeace.24]

Wtf are my eyes seeing !👀😂

[@GMCDude87]

i would take a F40 or ENZO over any bugatti

[@Little_Alesi]

BS

[@pixelnazgul]

Why does the F50 have shorter wheelbase than normal? Why are JDM legends like the F50, and not F40?

[@irw4350]

I must be the only one who thinks that the F40 looks like a pile of crap - the body moulding is terrible - it looks like a fairground ride car and all uneven surfaces

[@neilbobbett]

You are missing the point.

[@user-zb6uf3us1w]

Wrong about the top speed. F40 was the first street car to reach top speed of 201. What are you talking about. I have taken my F40 over 205 mph
