Production Surpassed the Original Plan
Ferrari initially intended to build only 400 F40s, but overwhelming demand led the company to produce 1,311 units between 1987 and 1992. This far‑exceeded target made the F40 one of the most sought‑after limited‑run supercars of its time.
Pioneering Composite Body Construction
The F40 was the first Ferrari production car to rely primarily on composite materials for its body panels, reducing the exterior to just eleven large pieces. This lightweight construction contributed to the car’s legendary performance and distinctive look.
Racing Variants Extended the Legacy
After the road‑car production ended, Ferrari introduced race‑focused versions such as the F40 LM, Competizione, and GTE, which were built from 1994 to 1996. The racing program actually began earlier, in 1989, with the F40 LM competing in the IMSA GTO series.
