doalwa Its a big go kart with wings, a lot of flair, lovely engine, and a lot of pedigree. The F40 has that ugly squary look but that makes it even more unique and beautiful in the end. Its incredible how the fact of being what it is changes our perception to its beauty. Like Matterazi said, if it doesnt perform like it does people would not love it. But being the faster and beastier makes it even more special. Some people say that it seems to have more than 1000hp than the 480hp announced. Probably due to power to weight ratio. Have in mind that it weighs 1100kg in a very large car with very large tyres.

@@fernandofragoso4118 I'd disagree with your post. The F40 are squarish in a classic antique way and that is a proven timeless beauty. Look at antique marble temples and columns, it's all square but the proportion are just right. The F40 is probably the most beautiful looking sportscar ever.

I was so disappointed about that... After a few hundred yards the driver was pushing the gas all the way down and the I heard her angry screaming for all that straight mile... the twin turbos was pushing the car like a jet!

Universally acknowledged as the GOAT. It was actually Enzo’s son, Dino, who championed the lightweight, rear mid-engined V8 design over the front-engined V12 favored by his father.
