Now thats a sexy 599

F40's are balls out nuts!

But for pure sexyness, 599 takes it out for me easily.

Balistic Fez models aside, 599 to me is prob one of the best the jumping horsy has ever produced.

Yeah I hate the standard star-spoke pentagram rims. 599 with the optional rims looks the goods:

Don't usually like modded Ferraris, but this one I wouldn't kick out of my garage:

Yeah, not bad... I think I prefer the Novitec Rosso ones though. Is everyone a fan of the black wheels trend? Esp. with the white body? For me it works on some things like a white LP640 but I think it's done a bit too often

F40 was never about having brains, it is unashamedly about a heap of horsepower NO weight, and it's upto you to stay out of the scenery. To me it is the fact that it's objective was so raw, and so perfectly executed. "Whats that you want aircon?" well slide this bit of lexan back... Steering too heavy? Do weights. Passenger wants to converse while driving? Well here's your excuse to leave the bitch on the side of the road... I would sell my left nut, and any other body part for an F40.

Exactly right iplen.The f40 was just raw power/ driving experience. The porsche was more of a techincal exercise.

Ferrari 599 GTO just looks so right in black..... I dont think red suits the 599 as well as some of the other colours

The F40 is an amazing car, but the front bugs me. For its time period but, its still a nice car

An F40 is just a 288GTO Evolution built to a later timescale and to no purpose other than to seperate rich idiots from their money. So pretty much like all Ferraris then.

Anyway the base 288 was the business the evo was butt ugly.

[beemae30]

And your on a skyline forum? Do we not spend stupid amounts of money on a vehicle. Most people look at us for being stupid and wasting bucket loads of money on a car. They just have a lot more to play with.

Didn't know it was based on that model,

I'm not gonna argue with you about Ferrari's, I have better things to do.

I know I'd love to be behind the wheel of the last 'pure' ferrari made under Enzo Ferrari with the v8 twin turbo, an I'm sure ALL true performance car enthusiasts would.

Yes it appears I am.

Things people know about the F40.

1. It looks pretty.

2. It does 200MPH.

3. It uses carbon fibre/kevlar.

Things most people dont care about:

1. It has a horrible 1950s technology steel space frame chassis. Welding is done by Mr Blobby.

2. The carbon does stuff all - no different to the fibreglass Ferrari used for many, many years. It is not structural in other words.

Basically Ferraris are, historically, poorly engineered, poorly built, unreliable and handle badly.

What I cant figure out is why so many people think so highly of them. Put the engineering of a McLaren up against a Ferrari & Ferrari gets thumped. Put the innovation of Lotus against them, same result. Put the build quility of a Porker up against them - same again. And so it goes. The only car maker with such a deeply flawed product is Bugatti. Ok maybe Maybach aswell but that is beside the point.

[On Edge]

I do agree with some of what you are saying, some Ferrari"s are very overrated

however id love to be given the opportunity to drive an F40.
