    Many years ago, I worked for a company called Storacar and I’ve been fortunate enough to drive several F40’s and they are total monsters and they’ve nearly caught me out several times. I can’t imagine what the LM is like. Great content and can’t wait to see you build one of these amazing beasts. 👍🏼

    Some cool facts on this car, the digital dash has been custom made and is a replica of the original, because the original doesn’t register speed. The tyres are even wider than the standard f40 which are already crazy wide. The car has been detained to 700bhp so it doesn’t overheat on the roads and that car was driven to that event and every event it attends.

    My brother and I had a little race with an F40 on the Autoroute in France around 1990 when we were riding his zzr1100 to the Bol D’or at Paul Ricard. I was fully loaded on the pillion with a rucksack on my back. We hit an indicated 160mph alongside him when he looked up at us, gave a thumbs up and we both backed off. That thing could shift.

    A very lucky boy !
    I remember seeing my first F40 at the NEC back in 88 and it was stunning, i next saw an F40 at croft circuit along with an F50, they were both late entry's so they both should of been placed at the back but the F50 was placed at the front due to it being so new, the F40 was placed at the back fortunately, sadly the F50 crashed on the first corner, but after a restart the F40 flew through the pack as everything else were stood still.

    • @Ratarossa
      @Ratarossa  2 года назад +1

      Amazing to hear that. The F40 is a very special car indeed. I thought I might be a little disappointed with the power as I'm fortunate to have owned many modern Ferarri's but buy was I wrong the acceleration was savage and I'm so happy it lived up to or .... actually exceeded its reputation. Its like a drug though I really want to experience that again, but with me behind the wheel LOL

    The best hypercar ever made!! F40LM just perfect! There is a old video i think from 1995 or 1996 from a race , two F40LM without the BOP that "tied up" the car in competitions, destroying two F1 GTRs, the speed difference is absurd, the F1 GTR with about 680hp and just over 1000kg and the F40 LM on the map stronger around 920hp and just under 1000kg! What an absurd car!
