Yeah, the F40 was a true supercar, no doubt about it. On some, the paint is so thin, you can see the carbon fiber showing.
Twin turbo V8 sharing the same space you are, not cut off like in modern cars.
True 6spd manual trans with the Ferrari gated shifter.
I would love to drive one...really would.


But a modern Ferrari? The 599 GTB Fiorano is probably the best Ferrari made to day, even eclipsing the Enzo.





Stats on the 599 GTB

6.0 V12 making 611hp and 488ftlbs of torque. This car was the first vehicle to use the GM-Delphi Magnetic shock system for performance application, opening the door for the system used in the ZR1 and the Audi TT.
(Corvette and some Caddys have had it for a while, but was more of a ride enhancing mode, but was never deemed capable of handling the stress of a race situation)
They have a HGTE package released this year enhances an already amazing super car.
Its base price is 309k, but that is without the optional Carbon Ceramic brakes, but even with it loaded with the HGTE package which gets you the CC brakes, upgraded suspension, comes in at under 370k.
It is my #1 dream car as of right now.
