CRISTIANO RONALDO CRASHES 205MPH FERRARI 599

But this 1990 Ferrari F40 is even more powerful thanks to a GTM upgrade – producing around 580bhp thanks to the re-mapping of the engine and a new exhaust system.

While official performance figures aren’t available, the modifications should ensure 0-62mph in 3.2 seconds and a top speed of about 215mph.

On top of the mechanical adjustments, the Ferrari F40 was fitted with a Penske three-way adjustable suspension, six-pot AP racing brakes, Enkei magnesium wheels and a new carbon fibre front splitter and rear spoiler to increase downforce and stability.

It was imported in 1998, with the GTM upgrades taking place between 2001 and 2005 – at a cost of £30,000.

While the value of many supercars from the Eighties have dropped enormously, it’s been the opposite for the F40 – the sign of a genuine classic.

When it went on sale in 1987, a Ferrari F40 would set the buyer back a cool £197,000.

This Ferrari F40 – which has covered just 15,500 miles – can be yours for £275,000 through Deca Motors International.
