RM Sotheby’s is selling what is believed to be the fastest,’most radical’ road-going Ferrari F40 ever built.
Cavallino Tuning in Holland converted the 1989 ‘non-cat, non-adjust’ F40 to ‘Competizione’ spec in 1993, with work done on the suspension, brakes, and bodywork, including a respray in yellow, before racing in 1993 and 1994.
Then, in 1995, G-Tex in the UK collaborated with Michelotto to upgrade the roll cage and full suspension, which included the addition of a Stack instrumentation system and air jacks, as well as engine work that increased its output to well over 700 bhp.
In 1997, the car was sold again to Ferrari collector and racer Michel Osprey, who raced it until 2006.
Zanasi Group, the official Ferrari Factory paint shop for Ferrari Supercars, Tailor-Made editions, and Icona series cars, added the current Grigio Nardo livery during a €123,000 bare-metal restoration and service. Depending on the configuration, the car can now produce anywhere from 700 to nearly 1,000 horsepower.
RM Sotheby’s will offer the car for private sale during its Monterey Car Week display (August 18-20), with a price on application.
