Mat is satisfying a legend!
He's flown over to America, and he's got his hands on the legendary Ferrari F40! It is among his dream vehicles, but the concern is, will it live up to its famous status?
Well, let's start with the looks … And what a looker it is! Around the back, it has a definitely renowned shape, with round tail lights, an enormous spoiler, and 3 exhaust outlets! You can also see into the engine bay through the light-weight plexiglass cover on the top. Along the side you have substantial side vents to feed the engine, and the iconic shape continues around the front, with everyone's preferred feature … Pop-up headlights!
Step inside, and the F40 has a truly old but timeless interior. It comes equipped with wind-down windows, no wheel adjustments, and a number of simple buttons for the climate controls on the dash. There's felt lining across the dash and centre console, and the red-lined sports seats are still pretty comfortable.
When it concerns performance, the F40 is equipped with a glorious 2.9-litre twin-turbo V8 that can produce 480hp and 580Nm of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual gearbox, and when it was first launched it was the fastest production car worldwide, with a top speed of 201mph!
Back in the day, an F40 would cost you around ₤ 160,000, however if you're seeking to purchase one now you 'd be hard-pressed to find one costing less than ₤ 2,000,000! So is it worth it? You'll need to stick with Mat and see on your own!
