July 1987, Ferrari presented the F40, named after this to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Officina. A radical evolution of the 288 GTO, the F40 is a spectacular summary of techniques from competition: structure integrating composite materials, 478 hp twin-turbo V8, aerodynamics using ground effect,... The Ferrari doctrine “From racing to the road” is pushed to its peak. The F40, the last Ferrari designed during the lifetime of Enzo who disappeared in August 1988, seems to be the repository of his last wishes. The resulting commercial success makes it a less rare car than it seems with 1311 copies produced.
