Before the F40, there was the F35. Arguably not as good, but inescapably more rare... particularly after the IP attorneys in Maranello got drunk on Chianti and forgot to turn up to defend against the Lockheed Martin IP litigation.

Anyway, you should buy this car. It has side strakes and gets astonished looks wherever you go. Fair weather car only, absolutely no rain under any circumstances. And no refunds.

The F40 was built to celebrate Ferrari’s 40th anniversary. A very fast berlinetta designed by Pininfarina, it was built mainly from composites. Its sophisticated high-performance, turbo-charged running gear combined with a first class chassis gave it the kind of great dynamic prowess that was close to that of a racing car.
