Maranello, 21 July 2017
Thirty years have passed since the official presentation of the F40, which
took place on 21 July 1987 at the Civic Centre in Maranello, now home to
the Ferrari Museum. Created to celebrate the company’s 40th anniversary,
it was the last car to carry the founder’s “signature”. It was a definitive car,
the ultimate expression of the technology thus far developed by the
Prancing Horse, but at the same time it went back to Ferrari’s roots when
racing cars were also road vehicles. An extreme derivation of the 308 GTB
and of the 288 GTO Evoluzione prototype, the Ferrari F40 is a masterpiece
of engineering and style, which entered the collective imagination as a
symbol of an era.
